  Tapping working gas volume could cushion blow of Europe’s energy crunch

  • 04 11月 2021

  European gas storage has been struggling to fill this summer. Storage at the beginning of November will be about 75% full, at 83 billion cubic metres (bcm), 14 bcm below the five-year average, rattling the market. A cold European winter could result in storage levels falling to zero by the end of March 2022, unless more Russian gas supply is available versus current export levels. But there could be an alternative available to the market should this come to pass – tapping the substantial amount of cushion gas available in Europe’s storage facilities. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), said using cushion gas could allow an extra 15 bcm enter the market, easing the supply crunch.

  Action to achieve Paris climate goals will upend oil and gas prices

  • 15 4月 2021

  If the world acts decisively to limit global warming to 2°C by 2050, the scale of change will revolutionise the energy industry. Progressive electrification will squeeze the most polluting hydrocarbons out of the energy mix, nearly eliminating their markets. Oil demand will shrink, and with it, so will the power of major oil producers. Gas demand will remain resilient, but business models will need to evolve.
