Tapping working gas volume could cushion blow of Europe’s energy crunch
- 04 十一月 2021
European gas storage has been struggling to fill this summer. Storage at the beginning of November will be about 75% full, at 83 billion cubic metres (bcm), 14 bcm below the five-year average, rattling the market. A cold European winter could result in storage levels falling to zero by the end of March 2022, unless more Russian gas supply is available versus current export levels. But there could be an alternative available to the market should this come to pass – tapping the substantial amount of cushion gas available in Europe’s storage facilities. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), said using cushion gas could allow an extra 15 bcm enter the market, easing the supply crunch.

Can the US rise to meet the net-zero emissions challenge?
- 16 九月 2021
US President Joe Biden has a transformational goal: he wants the country to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, building on the net-zero power sector he wants in place by 2035. Can the US meet this challenge? According to new research released today by global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), the US is likely to struggle to achieve Biden’s ambitions. Technological limitations, policy design, market structures and even the United States’ political and constitutional foundations may hamper progress.

Is CCS the upstream sector’s silver bullet?
- 11 八月 2021
We may only be halfway through 2021, but it is already shaping up to be a breakthrough year for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to emerge as a viable tool for upstream companies to decarbonise operations. Although the concept has been around for decades, CCS is moving into the mainstream. All the industry’s largest companies now plan to use sequestration to help them reach their decarbonisation targets.

EU’s ‘Fit for 55’ lays out bloc’s green blueprint
- 14 七月 2021
Europe is at the forefront of the shift to net zero, both in ambition, but also in terms of how to make rapid and deep decarbonisation a reality. The world needs to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as quickly as possible. Not doing so means we will need to turn to expensive and unproven technologies to withdraw CO2 from the atmosphere later this century.

What would an EU carbon border adjustment mechanism mean?
- 14 七月 2021
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.”

Supply outlook tightens as OPEC+ prepares to meet
- 01 七月 2021
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.

Carbon removal key to meeting Paris Agreement target
- 24 六月 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.

Colonial Pipeline cyberattack may benefit European refiners
- 10 五月 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.

Action to achieve Paris climate goals will upend oil and gas prices
- 15 四月 2021
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.

Carbon pricing plans ‘could transform upstream oil and gas economics’
- 31 三月 2021
At present, few countries require producers to either pay a carbon tax or participate in an emissions trading scheme (ETS). But as governments seek to meet decarbonisation targets, that could soon change. Carbon charges are likely to come, and they will transform the upstream sector, affecting both asset values and the industry’s economics.
