Following the announcement by Indonesia's upstream regulator SKK Migas on a gas discovery in the country, Wood Mackenzie's research director Andrew Harwood provides a commentary.
The Lower 48 E&P sector is under pressure from investors demanding greater capital discipline, positive free cash flow and increasing returns. There’s a tug-of-war between value and volume, and value has emerged as the winner. The Lower 48’s independents, who traditionally pursued growth at all costs, must now rein in their impulses and focus on delivering returns to their shareholders. How does this affect their 2019 spending plans, and how do they manage volatile oil prices?
After a difficult few years, the exploration sector is back in the black – and keen to stay there. New analysis from Wood Mackenzie shows that explorers’ success in 2018 reflects a disciplined approach that’s set to continue this year.
The Oil & Gas Authority's (OGA) decision to launch the 31st supplementary offshore licensing round, focusing on the Greater Buchan Area offers a material opportunity for players active in the UK North Sea
Following today's announcement by Thailand's Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) that PTTEP has won the auction round for both G1/61 (Erawan) and G2/61 (Bongkot) PSCs after putting an aggressive bid on the gas price and the profit share, Wood Mackenzie's research analyst Jean-Baptiste Berchoteau shares some insights.
In a newly published report, Wood Mackenzie notes that the deepwater industry appears in good health, following a sustained cost reduction through the downturn. However this hard work is in danger of being undone, as impending cyclical cost inflation could raise break-even costs once again.
Upstream oil and gas companies are accelerating the implementation of big data applications and digital technologies to help transform their businesses. But how close is industry to achieving this? Where does the US Lower 48 stand in this transformation? A new study drills down into digitalisation in the upstream sector and identifies the technologies and applications being employed today and evaluates their potential impact.
In the past 10 years, explorers in sub-Saharan Africa have turned up more giant discoveries than any other region. But converting volume into value is undoubtedly sub-Saharan Africa’s Achilles heel.
What next for the oil market as the US reimposes sanctions on Iran?
Wood Mackenzie forecasts that global oil and gas development spend needs to increase by around 20% to meet future demand growth and ensure companies sustain production next decade.
Asia-Pacific's oil and gas sector looks set to rebound over the next 12 months as rising demand, stronger commodity prices and an uptick in M&A activity bring greater confidence to the region. Wood Mackenzie predicts rising Asian LNG demand, the return of China's NOCs to growth mode and new appetite for upstream investment to be key factors influencing the sector, not only Asia-Pacific, but also globally into 2019.
Norway's Equinor set to buy Chevron's 40% operating stake in the Rosebank field, offshore West of Shetland
US major Chevron has confirmed it is in talks to sell its 40% operating stake in the Rosebank field, offshore West of Shetland
With many Independents and Majors chasing onshore shale and white hot Brazil and Mexico, the US Gulf of Mexico, once the coveted jewel of the oil industry, has become a lower investment priority in recent years. This has opened the space for private equity-backed companies who have stepped up to the plate, turned pennies into dollars and shown they have what it takes to compete.
In the 12 months up until June 2018, China was the second largest buyer of US LNG, accounting for approximately 3 mmtpa of US LNG, with Shell being the largest seller. However as the US-China trade dispute escalated, Chinese buyers have gradually reduced purchases of US LNG.
Permian producers increased their 2020 oil-basis hedge positions by 431% during Q2. Such a sharp rise suggests producers perceive a higher risk that key pipeline projects fail to start up by 2019 target dates, according Wood Mackenzie's latest analysis of oil and gas activity.
Rig provider Transocean is set to merge with Ocean Rig in a $2.7 billion deal, a move Wood Mackenzie says is a winning one for the rig market.
A sizeable discovery is significant for Quadrant, whose private equity backers are looking to exit, and Carnarvon, which is a pure-play explorer. A standalone oil discovery is easier to monetise than gas, as it does not require LNG contracts or gas infrastructure.
BP has bought BHP Billiton's US Lower 48 assets in a $10.5 billion deal. Wood Mackenzie believes the deal will be transformative for BP.
Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie sees OPEC maintaining its role as a key oil supplier through to 2040, although output from non-OPEC producers will help ensure adequate supply in the years to 2030.
Chevron has announced it is planning to sell its central UK North Sea assets, including Captain, Elgin/Franklin, Erksine and Jade, to focus on the West of Shetland province.
Since the fall in oil prices in 2014, oil majors and international oil companies (IOCs) have accelerated a shift towards resource themes and regions offering higher returns, lower complexity and shorter timeframes, away from the more challenging regions such as Southeast Asia. To date, close to 800 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of the region's resources have left the hands of majors and IOCs.
Brazil's new local content regulations could fast-track the deployment of FPSO units, speeding up the pace of pre-salt oil production by more than 21 billion barrels by the mid-2020s, a new report by Wood Mackenzie analysing the impact of new local content rules on production, royalty collection and job creation has found.
On 7 June 2018, Brazil held its fourth pre-salt auction, just eight months after the highly competitive second and third pre-salt rounds. US$818 million was collected in signature bonuses, the outcome was yet another big success for Brazil. With the successful conclusion of five licensing rounds in the span of less than a year, and a fifth PSC Round set for September 2018, interest in Brazil's upstream sector continues to be very strong.
Andy McConn, research analyst at Wood Mackenzie, shares his thoughts following Concho Resources announced acquisition of RSP Permian Inc. in an $8 billion all-share deal, the largest purely Permian deal ever.
A new cap on production from the Netherlands' giant Groningen gas field may have an impact on the security of Europe's gas supply, hurt Dutch treasury receipts and prompt a reassessment of the field's remaining value.
Mexico’s second deepwater licensing round closed today on a high note with 19 of 29 offered blocks awarded, raising more than US$500 million in cash payments. Shell dominated the auction, snapping up nearly half of all blocks awarded. In the Perdido Area, the company won five of six awarded blocks.
BP announced it made two discoveries on the UK Continental Shelf in 2017 - Capercaillie, in the North Sea, and Achmelvich, in the West of Shetland. Wood Mackenzie believes the finds prove there's still life in the ultra-mature province.
The impact of the 2014 oil price collapse is still being felt across the upstream sector. Operators have cut investment, deferred projects and implemented tough cost discipline, slashing US$910 billion from global capital expenditure estimates for 2015-2020. While many operators believe the cuts will stick, a new survey released today by natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie indicates the pictured is more nuanced.
2018 looks set to be a brighter year for upstream oil and gas companies
