Aim: This research aims to find out how Agile and Hybrid project management approaches can assist in the sustainability initiatives of the oil and gas sector by combining flexibility, adaptability and structural discipline for a compliance-heavy environment. Methodology: Among 150 records obtained through databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar, 20 case studies were selected, and the authors conducted a systematic literature review of those studies. Key Findings: The findings show that Agile and Hybrid methods stimulate adaptability and creativity, facilitate relationships between stakeholders, and address the regulations and cultural issues. The use of agile models with an iterative nature is good for tackling dynamic sustainability challenges such as carbon reduction and green energy implementation, and the use of hybrid models provides a structured framework to ensure compliance. Despite these advantages, there are many cultural resistance and high costs of deployment that prevent implementation. The proposed framework is based on empirical case studies and industrial practices, while being able to interweave the flexibility provided by Agile models with the phases of the Hybrid models. Conclusion: In this review, practical advice is provided for policymakers, sustainability officers and project members to accelerate progress in the area of sustainability in complex operational environments.
