After over a year of trade tensions, the US and China signed a “phase one” trade deal on 16 January. As part of the deal, China has agreed to increase the value of energy imports by US$52.4 billion above 2017 levels over the next two years. What could it mean for the oil market?
Project cancellations and delays connecting planned projects to the electric grid will lead the US microgrid market to contract 17% from its 2018 peak by the end of this year, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie.
Chevron has given the green light to the Anchor development in deepwater US Gulf of Mexico. This is Chevron’s first greenfield final investment decision as an operator since its sanction of Big Foot and Jack/St Malo in 2010.
Talos Energy, in its pursuit of growth in the US Gulf of Mexico, has announced a series of purchases, worth $640 million assets in the region
Highlights from Wood Mackenzie's 2019 North America wind power outlook
As the tight oil sector continues to mature, producers are looking for ways to optimise their operations, improving efficiency of both production and costs. It's a battle to win back investor confidence. New research from Wood Mackenzie underscores the fact tight-oil operators are no longer chasing growth at all costs. Development strategies have firmly shifted to focus on scale: drilling sections instead of wells, with compressed paybacks, at the lowest possible cost. Many are favouring a “cube” development strategy, viewing it as the most efficient way to capitalise on cost savings.
Rapidly rising production in the Permian basin has led to soaring levels of associated gas, outpacing pipeline infrastructure and placing increasing slowdown pressure on other production streams like crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs), Dr Eugene Kim, Research Director, Americas Gas, told delegates at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) in Denver.
Rising produced water volumes and expanding costs pose a significant risk to production growth in the Permian basin, Ryan Duman, Senior Analyst, Lower 48, told delegates at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) in Denver.
Accelerating tight oil decline rates top a growing list of concerns for Permian basin operators, with unexpected production shortfalls prompting producers to consider stepping up drilling investment and M&A activity, Robert Clarke, Research Director, Lower 48 Upstream, told delegates at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) in Denver.
The US state of New York today awarded two major offshore wind contracts to Norwegian energy company Equinor, and Sunrise Wind, a joint venture between Denmark’s Ørsted and US utility Eversource.
A large fire at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) oil refinery in Philadelphia has halted gasoline production at the complex.
The solar market in China could see long-term benefits from major government policy changes that move the country away from federal feed-in tariffs and embrace unsubsidised business models.
Delek Group has bought Shell's stake in the Caesar-Tonga field, in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
