Report summary
While all our global energy transition outlooks remain possible, there is an increasing probability of a slower-paced transition. But improving upstream sentiment comes at a time of high geopolitical tensions, and both supply and demand concerns. Near-term price weakness may belie longer-term market strength, setting 2025 up to be a year of mixed messages. Key themes include: 1. Upstream will obsessively focus on efficiency, 2. Resource capture will be back in vogue, 3. M&A will be high on strategic agendas, 4. Americas liquids growth won’t just come from the Permian 5. A new wave of LNG projects will start to take shape.
