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.
India’s renewables target of 175 GW capacity (100 GW of solar and 75 GW of wind) by 2022 is an ambitious endeavour. Even with significant cost declines, Wood Mackenzie expects about 76% of the target to be met by 2022 and this would still be a noteworthy achievement. Wood Mackenzie's solar analyst Rishab Shrestha explains why.
US major Chevron has confirmed it is in talks to sell its 40% operating stake in the Rosebank field, offshore West of Shetland
In the 12 months up until June 2018, China was the second largest buyer of US LNG, accounting for approximately 3 mmtpa of US LNG, with Shell being the largest seller. However as the US-China trade dispute escalated, Chinese buyers have gradually reduced purchases of US LNG.

As companies in the energy and natural resource sector struggle to find the balance between satisfying shareholder returns and meeting stakeholder low-carbon demands, new strategies are emerging that could be the catalyst to drive capital allocation decisions toward growth and closing valuation gaps, according to “Fuelling Change” a new Horizons report from Wood Mackenzie.
If high interest rates persist, transitioning to a net zero global economy will be even harder and more costly. The higher cost of borrowing negatively affects renewables and nascent technologies, compared to more established oil and gas, and metals and mining sectors, which remain somewhat insulated.
Australia sees record volume of upstream M&A deals, despite regulatory turmoil
Market expansion continues for the natural gas sector, but a volatile path may lie ahead in 2024. Wood Mackenzie recently released the North America Natural Gas: 5 things to look for in 2024 report.

As OPEC+ meets on 1 July, oil prices are supported by tightening oil market fundamentals for the second half of 2021. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie forecasts total oil demand to rise 5.9 million barrels per day (b/d) year-on-year for 2021.
The 2.5 million barrels per day (b/d) Colonial Pipeline moves roughly 45% of the US East Coast's supply of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from the Gulf Coast. The duration of the outage following the cyberattack on 7 May 2021 is uncertain. In the short term, Wood Mackenzie expects fuel demand and prices to rise in PADD 1, prompting refined fuel inventories to decline and PADD 1 refiners to maximize production.
In its rebound from the 2020 downturn, Brent flirted with US$70 per barrel. Higher prices in 2021 mean higher cash flow for producers, perhaps even record-setting highs. Have the good times returned? Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie believes operators need to be cautious.
