How have oil and gas explorers started to make money at US$60/bbl? The industry finally got a grip on economic reality – lower costs and faster project delivery have begun to transform development economics. Get the analysis from our exploration team.
Asia’s gas markets must evolve to unlock their growth potential
Low-carbon hydrogen will play a critical role in decarbonisation, contributing at least 4% of global energy demand by 2050. Who are best placed to become market leaders?
The cancellation of NuScale's small modular nuclear reactor project in November cast a shadow over this nascent technology. Yet the project pipeline continues to build, reflecting the industry's belief that SMRs can be a gamechanger for nuclear. How big is the current pipeline? What is the potential scale of SMRs' contribution to net zero? Which countries and developers are leading the way? How much do costs need to come down?
A slower energy transition means higher demand for fossil fuels, heaping further pressure on oil and gas companies already battling to reduce their emissions. Carbon offsets can help.
Our new Delayed Energy Transition scenario reflects the increasing risk that the transition will be much slower than a Paris-aligned pathway.
Power prices have soared across Europe. The power market itself faces multiple other challenges to keep the lights on this coming winter. What are the short-term options for governments, regulators and the industry to ease the price pressure on consumers?
Amidst the Russia/Ukraine conflict producers, traders, shippers, refiners and even consumers are all having to adapt to shifting crude and product flows – and pricing.
COP26 has a week to put the world on a 2 °C or lower pathway. Simon Flowers highlights four must-haves that can make a Glasgow Agreement a gamechanger in tackling climate change.
Gas prices have hit record levels in Europe and Asia surging ten-fold in a year.
The oil price has been on a bull run for over a year. Fundamentals are improving with oil demand bouncing back towards pre-pandemic highs as the global economy recovers. But OPEC+ is also playing a key role in rebalancing the market after the crisis of 2020. How much further could prices go?
What does a net-zero pathway mean for the oil and gas industry? As capital markets and an ever-widening stakeholder community demand clarity and action on decarbonisation, more of our customers are talking to us about how they should incorporate such scenarios into their planning.
Green shoots of economic recovery are bursting through. Energy, metals and mining commodity markets have sensed it for months – witness the soaring prices of oil, LNG, iron ore, copper and many other metals. Is this a post-pandemic economic bounce or the start of a new supercycle?
China’s net-zero ambitions are a significant boost to global efforts to tackle climate change. Will the push to decarbonise transform China's economy? What does it mean for its energy markets and the supply chains? And is China well placed to capitalise on low-carbon technologies?
LNG might be the last great growth opportunity in oil and gas. But the difficult investment environment and buyers’ appetite for low-carbon LNG are among the challenges facing developers.
All of the Majors have strategies for the energy transition, they're just doing it in different ways. The Euro Majors have set net-zero targets and are diversifying into renewables; the US Majors' strategy is about decarbonising oil and gas. What's behind the different approaches? How will coming changes in US policy on climate change influence the US Majors' strategies? And what about ESG pressure from investors?
Green hydrogen is front of mind for investors looking for solutions to cut emissions from hard-to-abate sectors. Is policy going in the right direction? When could green hydrogen become competitive? And what are the risks to realising its potential?
The energy transition will see demand for some metals reach unimagined levels in coming years. Which metals are critical to the transition? How much will we need and what will it cost to develop the supply? And can the mining sector deliver?
LNG demand is set to grow strongly out of the downturn, driven by Asia. A plethora of new projects is lining up to meet a sizeable supply gap that emerges by the end of the decade. What are the risks to our bullish demand scenario? How will new investment in supply be affected by rising ESG concerns? And which pre-FID projects are best placed to fill the supply gap?
Big Oil is on the move, feeling its way into a changing energy world. There are two sides to adapting: how to decarbonise oil and gas and how to build a sustainable business around zero-carbon technology. European and US Majors are following two very different paths.
Anadarko bids echo the big M&A themes of the downturn. Simon Flowers investigates.
The future of light vehicles is electric; in time, perhaps autonomous. But the disruption won’t be quick, and the rise of the EV won’t be linear. Get our analysis here.
A giant oil supply gap looms. How to fill it? It’s the preoccupation of the E&P sector. Harry Paton, Senior Analyst, Global Oil Supply, identifies the contribution from each of the traditional four sources.
Addressing the timely boom in access to giant oil and gas discoveries, Simon Flowers looks at some low risk resource-capture strategies in this week's issue of The Edge.
We explored how the market for EVs might develop in Part 1. This week Ed Rawle, Head of Oils Research, chats about the implications for global oil demand.
The biggest lottery prize of 2018? A contender is the windfall oil and gas companies find drops into their bank account.
How to sum up the effect on oil markets of OPEC’s strategy since 2014? Based on how the fundamentals have evolved, it's been a pretty mixed bag.
Investment is making a comeback. Much of the action, as ever, is in the US Lower 48, with operators responding to higher prices by upping 2018 budgets by 15-20%. But there’s stuff happening, too, in the big wide world beyond onshore USA.
What will US tight oil growth do to crude markets? The build-up in volumes early this decade led to a supply glut that undermined prices in 2014.
What are the prospects for tight oil outside the US? It's a question frequently asked on my travels, and with good reason. If US tight oil can emerge so quickly to disrupt the market, perhaps other plays out there might have the same effect.
