If the demand side of the equation is relatively predictable, oil supply is notoriously difficult. Many of the market’s most colourful moments through history have revolved around supply, with OPEC at the centre of most in the last six decades.
Chief Analyst Simon Flowers expects prices to rise and US tight oil to lead the industry out of the downturn.
A windfall for Russian oil producers and impetus for upstream investment
What next for the oil market as the US reimposes sanctions on Iran?
Geopolitical tensions, a record year for elections and economic uncertainty will define the backdrop to the upstream industry in 2024. Wood Mackenzie recently released its What to Look for in 2024 upstream series. Key themes to watch in global and corporate upstream include continued consolidation, increased activity from NOCs, reversing decarbonisation gains, shifts in strategic playbooks and an upstream investment plateau.
September 14 drone strikes on Saudi Arabian oil and gas infrastructure at Abqaiq and Khurais highlighted the vulnerability of Asia's oil markets to an attack on facilities in the Middle East. Analysis from Gavin Thompson.
Russia is a major energy exporter and a key player in the global energy market. Despite its 6.5 million barrels per day of refining capacity, its critical role in the global refining industry is not often recognised. Alan Gelder explains Russia's role and influence in the global energy market.
Alan Gelder looks at the ways in which US tight oil has revolutionised the global oil market. This article first appeared on Forbes.com on September 27, 2018.
The coronavirus outbreak is having a transformational effect on global olefins. Supply, demand, trade, pricing, costs and margins are all being impacted to the extent that it will undoubtedly reshape the wider industry. So, what forces are defining the ‘new normal’?
As the US faces economic crisis, the Democratic presidential challenger sees opportunities for stimulus in the energy transition
The full impact of the new tariffs has not yet worked through world markets, but US energy exports to China have been falling
This year may prove to be a strong one for the refining sector, but 2020 has had a difficult start. Wood Mackenzie expects some turbulence this year as a number of factors come together – geopolitical risk, the impact of IMO 2020 regulations, and US tight oil production slowing, among them.
The steep decline in oil demand is putting the entire system under pressure. Will there be sufficient storage globally to cope? Will we see more production shut-in? What are the prospects for demand recovery? Find out more in this week's Edge.
Could Iran Sanctions See Brent Spike to U.S.$100 a barrel? The oil market faces a precarious few months. The imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions on Iranian exports on November 5 is the critical factor behind Brent’s rally to more than U.S.$80 a barrel in October. There’s enough supply to meet demand this winter, but the margin for error is worryingly narrow.
Tight oil and shale gas, through LNG exports to Europe, are likely to be cap and collar in their respective markets for the next few years – tight oil setting the ceiling price, US gas the floor.
The sharp response of the physical market to the arrival of cold weather suggests fundamentals are tight and prices could go higher, whether it’s a cold winter or not. There are four main reasons why.
Oil demand is proving more resilient than expected
The blackouts raise important questions about investment, innovation and electricity market design, as the share of variable renewable generation on the grid increases.
On Monday 9th March 2020, the oil price saw its biggest fall in 30 years. Here’s our analysts’ rapid response to the oil price crash. Look out for more detailed analysis in the days and weeks to come.
On Monday, April 20, WTI dipped to minus $37.63, collapsing under the weight of global oversupply and sharply reduced demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We asked our experts on supply and demand dynamics, infrastructure, and financial markets to shed light on these historic numbers and discuss what we can expect in the near and longer-term.
For the last Energy Pulse of 2019, WoodMac experts have given their predictions of what to expect in 2020. Their forecasts include: a slowdown in US oil production growth; further asset sales by the large international oil companies; strong growth in solar power to give another record year for installations; mounting pressure from investors over climate risk and financial strength; rising carbon emissions, and a revival in awareness of the importance of metals to the energy transition. There are also our selections of the Quote of the Year and Chart of the Year.
Hydrogen made from water has been discussed as an energy carrier for 150 years. A steep decline in its cost means it may at last become viable
Bipartisan agreement sets time limits for environmental reviews, but is seen as only “initial steps” towards more efficient permitting.
What will shape the world of energy and natural resources in 2022? Simon Flowers picks five key themes, from the energy crisis to the metals supercycle, transition cost challenges, higher investment and the chances of US$100/bbl oil.
Oil demand has gone into a tailspin. We now expect Q1 global oil consumption to be 2.7 million b/d lower than the same period a year ago.
The share of the US vehicle market taken by EVs has fallen sharply this year, underlining the challenges the industry faces. Support from the federal government will be essential for the electrification of road transport to make real progress.
Although 2017 brings a myriad of uncertainties, the new year also ushers in much-anticipated optimism for the global upstream industry.
In this special report about tight oil, Linda Htien, Senior Research Manager, US Lower 48 Upstream Research, and Ann-Louise Hittle, Vice President, Oils Research examine the forces slowing the growth of tight oil
The global oil industry has been bracing for a crisis since oil prices fell below US$60 per barrel (/bbl), a level unseen since 2021. Producers are preparing for potential further declines, with investment in the US Lower 48 tight oil sector particularly responsive.
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.
