0304 GMT - The oil and gas sector remains a good investment, says Accenture's Group Chief Executive, Strategy, Muqsit Ashraf, at Energy Asia. He cites consistent double-digit returns on capital--often ranging between 15% and 25%--compared with lower returns from renewables. Demand is expected to continue rising, with oil consumption likely to grow over the next 5-10 years, while gas demand is projected to increase by 30%-40% over the decade, he says. The sector also faces a natural production decline in shale, and that has to be substituted or replaced, requiring continued investment, he adds. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
