  • 06 二月 2020

  According to Wood Mackenzie figures, offshore wind will constitute 25% of total wind demand in 2028 - up from 10% in 2019 - and will narrow the gap with offshore upstream oil and gas in terms of capital expenditure deployment.

  Oil price rout: which supply is most at risk of shut-in?

  • 27 三月 2020

  The coronavirus pandemic is reducing oil demand. The OPEC+ production restraint agreement fell apart on 6 March and Saudi Arabia is rapidly increasing supply. The result: Brent crude has plunged to less than US$30/bbl. This will have a significant impact on currently producing fields and future supply. How low can the price go before different sources of production become uneconomic? Where are production shut-ins most likely? Can governments influence the result?

  African upstream capex ‘may be slashed by 33%’

  • 31 三月 2020

  Faced with the double whammy of the oil price crash and the coronavirus pandemic, Africa’s upstream sector looks set to slash capital spending by around 33% in 2020. Similar cuts to operating costs are also targeted by producers to stay cash-flow neutral. Unlike the 2015-16 price crash, this time nothing is sacrosanct: some operators will even wield the axe on committed spend, as well as the discretionary expenditure.

  Coronavirus restrictions set to hit US utility-scale solar projects

  • 01 四月 2020

  The coronavirus pandemic is likely to have a material impact on utility-scale solar installations in the US this year, and perhaps even into 2021. In its Coronavirus: US Solar PV Supply Chain and Utility-Scale Market Risk report, Wood Mackenzie says that, in a best-case scenario, the market could see up to four weeks of supply delays affecting a few hundred MWs of modules and inverters. This, combined with construction disruptions, could translate into as much as 2 GWdc of project development delays in 2020.

  OPEC opts for a show of unity - and a clever compromise

  • 22 六月 2018

  On 22 June 2018, oil producers' group OPEC delivered a compromise which avoided a decision to fully lift production restraint by instead agreeing to lower its adherence to the current accord from the current 152% to 100%, a clever way to increase output without officially agreeing on an end to output curbs. This should bring a total of 0.6 million barrels per day (b/d) back into the market during H2 2018.

  Conventional pre-FID breakevens give the Lower 48 a run for its money

  • 14 三月 2018

  Analysis of global oil cost curves indicates that many conventional pre-FID projects – even deepwater developments - are now competitive on a breakeven basis with US Lower 48 tight oil. However, this competitiveness has come at the expense of volumes. The trade-off of cost efficiency versus volumes means that in the medium- to long-term, the cost of supply is set to increase, highlighting the US Lower 48’s role as an important marginal barrel producer.

  Asia Pacific could become a global leader in the energy transition

  • 21 二月 2024

  Home to half of the world’s population and contributing a third to the global GDP, the Asia Pacific region is expected to maintain a 50% share of global primary energy demand and a 60% share of global carbon emissions until 2050. This trend is unlikely to change without strong policy action and investment. However, the region still has the potential to turn these challenges into opportunities and become a global leader in the energy transition.

  The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 catapulted the US to global leadership in decarbonisation. But a victory for former President Donald Trump in the November 2024 election, combined with long-standing issues around the US relationship with China and US government deficits, could significantly alter the path of US energy policy and usher in a delayed transition scenario, according to a new Horizons report from Wood Mackenzie.
