I don't think any reasonable person sees O/G going away, it just will simply be a (gradually smaller but hugely important) piece of pie in our energy sector among other existing and new energy sources/technology. These new projects show confidence in the energy market which is great news at the moment.

O&G will transition into specialized needs if the demand for actual 'fuel' goes down. Which it will with the rise of electric cars.
However, Alberta & Canada has proven that we can use natural gas as a clean energy source, and if we keep developing technology there, there is no reason we can massively reduce the overall emissions created.
