Increased uncertainty to colour upstream sector’s decision-making in 2020
- 09 January 2020
The level of uncertainty and anxiety among upstream producers and supply chain has rarely been higher. In 2020, decision-making will be more heavily influenced by sentiment surrounding the energy transition, political upheaval and trade disputes than in previous years. This adds to the ever-present risks of unexpected supply-demand imbalance, niche cost inflation or a global economic downturn. What are the biggest trends to watch in the upstream oil and gas business in 2020? Fraser McKay, head of upstream analysis at Wood Mackenzie, sees five key themes.

- 10 October 2019
Brazil's Licensing Round 16 set a record – the BRL 8.9 billion (US$2.2 billion) in signature bonuses is the highest yet for a Brazilian round. Of the 36 blocks on offer, 12 were awarded, all in the prolific offshore Campos and Santos basins. Malaysia’s Petronas, Qatar’s QPI, Spanish producer Repsol and the US’ Chevron all bid high. QPI and Petronas were the biggest spenders of the day, as well as Petrobras. Only Campos and Santos basin blocks were awarded, with frontier acreage failing to attract interest.

Permian operators cash in ... by thinking inside the box
- 21 August 2019
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.

The aptly-named field could be a satellite of the pre-FID 440 million-barrel Wisting development, which is just 30 kilometres from Sputnik.
