  Webinar | After the crash: what's changed in Latin America upstream?

  • 23 6月 2020

How much has development spend been cut? • Production: We expect a 7% reduction in 2020. What are the long-term implications? • Economics: Latin America upstream NPV10 down by a third. Which resource themes have been hit the hardest? • Corporate: Are Latam NOCs prepared for the tough road ahead?

  Webinar | Shale service costs in 2020: what is the market telling us?

  • 27 1月 2020

  Last year, costs fell by double-digit percentages for several major spend categories. However, today’s cost environment is considerably different from twelve months ago. Will the deflationary period stick around, or should we expect a change in 2020? During the webinar, our analysts covered topics such as: • Which cost categories fell the most last year, and what was the influence on overall well costs? • E&P budgets will reset in January and, in our view, reverse the rig count freefall. But should we expect costs to turn around as a result? • What could force service costs higher, and when could we expect the market to change? • If costs increase, which components are most at risk and what’s the economic impact?

  New CEO Looney rings changes at BP with ambitious climate plan

  • 12 2月 2020

  Speaking after BP’s new chief executive Bernard Looney unveiled the major’s ambitious climate commitments today, Luke Parker, vice president, corporate analysis, said: “BP joins Shell, Total, Equinor and Repsol in making a major commitment to reduce its net carbon footprint. “This marks a major turnaround in BP’s position. Just 12 months ago former CEO Bob Dudley said the company could not be held accountable for how people use its products. Looney is taking the company in a very different direction.” Parker added: “It’s an ambition, rather than a target, but the commitment appears to be unconditional. In terms of scale of commitment, this puts BP towards the top of the pack, along with Repsol and Equinor. “This will see BP’s business completely transformed over the coming decades: renewables and carbon abatement will get very big, legacy oil and gas will eventually get smaller. But the transition to 2050 is a multi-decade transition - not something that will happen in the next year or so.”

  Webinar | Global exploration before and after Covid-19

  • 28 5月 2020

  Our annual survey of the global exploration industry, conducted largely before coronavirus hit and the oil price crashed, showed signs of cautious optimism. Despite the threat posed by the energy transition, explorers were looking forward to another 30 years of exploration. There was, however, a keen awareness of the challenges ahead – the fight to remain investible, the need to increase capital efficiency and the opportunities and risks presented by deepwater exploration. Join us for a webinar discussing the results on the 2020 survey both in the context of the pre-COVID-19 view and in light of the new world we live in. We’ll cover which exploration companies stood out from the pack in 2019, the changing focus of explorers and the role of exploration in today’s energy companies.
