The right economic and geo-political conditions mean that the outlook for the global floating liquified natural gas (FLNG) project sector is bullish according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
Indonesia’s oil and gas sector must undergo a major overhaul in the way it operates if it is to realise the full potential of the country’s natural resources and support a successful energy transition, according to a new white paper by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
Despite concerns about underinvestment in upstream, peak oil and gas demand can be met in the 2030s without a substantial increase to current annual asset development investment levels of US$500 billion in 2023 terms, according to a new Horizons report from Wood Mackenzie.
Australia’s oil and gas industry needs to urgently fast-track the creation of energy “super basins” to provide a pathway to greater sustainability and cut emissions, according to Anne Forbes, Upstream Research Analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
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.
Veritas Capital (“Veritas”), a leading investor at the intersection of technology and government, today announced that an affiliate of Veritas has completed the purchase of Wood Mackenzie from Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK).
With Petrobras divesting in many of its mature assets, new mid-cap upstream operators entering the Brazilian market will invest US$10 billion in capital investments during the next decade, boosting the production from these assets through 2027 and increasing remaining reserves by 980 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) by 2035, according to a report from Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business.
Wood Mackenzie, the leading provider of decision intelligence for the world’s natural resources sector, has launched Lens Gas & LNG, a new data analytics solution that offers a uniquely integrated view that connects markets and assets on a global scale.
As the US looks for innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, offshore carbon capture storage (CCS) projects in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) could play an influential role in meeting future goals, according to analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
Scope 3 emissions account for 80-to-95% of total carbon emissions from oil and gas companies. But only a small number of these firms have set Scope 3 net zero ambitions, according to a recent report from Wood Mackenzie.
High natural gas prices will continue to drive down European demand to seven percent below the five-year average through March, leaving a best-case scenario of storage levels at 31% at winter’s end, in line with the five-year average, says Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK).
With prices soaring 400%, government is challenged to find the delicate balance of energy security and net zero goals
Gazprom confirmed today that regular annual maintenance of Nord Stream is officially over and gas flows restarted at 63 million cubic metres per day (mcm/d) – 40% of the pipeline’s overall capacity. The European gas market has reacted, with prices down by 5%; but the stability of Russian gas flows is by no means a given, according to analysts at Wood Mackenzie.
War in Ukraine is transforming the outlook for the supply, demand and price of hydrocarbons and the pace and cost of the energy transition. While the precise timing and implementation of future bans on Russian commodity imports are difficult to predict, a rewriting of energy trade flows is now underway.
The recent run up in natural gas prices - hitting its highest at Henry Hub since 2008 - is a result of more muted market balancing mechanisms than in the past, say analysts from Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK).
Five key lessons from today's energy crisis on how to manage the shift to lower-carbon sources while strengthening energy security
High commodity prices and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have called into question the UK’s reliance on energy imports. In response, the UK government is set to unveil a new ‘energy security strategy’.
Following the conclusion of the COP26 on November 13, Wood Mackenzie experts weigh in on the key developments of the conference.
UK gas production is down 28% year-to-date, helping fuel the current European gas price rally, global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK) said.
The EU Commission proposed a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) as part of today’s “Fit for 55” package. James Whiteside, global head of multi-commodity research at Wood Mackenzie, said: “As the first mechanism of its kind, the CBAM is being designed in consultation with industry to avoid unintended consequences. “A CBAM that does not cover a substantial portion of the production chain will encourage carbon leakage - pushing emissions beyond the borders of the EU or shifting competition between EU and non-EU producers to the next stage of the value chain.”
Speaking after the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was passed by the Nigerian National Assembly on 1 July, Mansur Mohammed, head of West Africa content on Wood Mackenzie’s sub-Saharan Africa upstream research team, said: “The Senate and House each passed different versions of the bill, which will now require reconciliation before it is sent to the president for assent into law. So there is still outstanding work to do before the PIB becomes law, but we see momentum behind the bill.”
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.
Achieving the 2°C goal of the Paris Agreement will require more than simply avoiding carbon. To cap global warming at 1.5°C or even 2°C, carbon removal will be essential. Research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK), shows the key to effective large-scale carbon removal is unlocking potential economies of scale through basin-wide carbon capture and storage (CCS), effectively providing a community answer to a global problem.
Australian producers need to be at the forefront of green LNG to remain competitive, says Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie experts discussed key drivers of Asia Pacific gas markets at the Northeast Asia Gas Forum today.
The UK government and the country’s oil and gas sector recently agreed a deal to leverage the upstream industry's capabilities, accelerate the energy transition and help the North Sea reach net zero by 2050.
OPEC+ is, as expected, holding firm to its decision to increase supply, gradually and carefully, over the coming months.
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.
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.
Santos has sanctioned the Barossa project, which extends the life of Darwin LNG (DLNG) beyond 2040.
