European majors are well placed to take advantage of a $1 trillion investment boom in offshore wind, as analysis suggests projects can return 25% higher operating margins than new oil and gas fields.
A potential resurgence in nuclear power combined with increasing renewable energy capacity could see less liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled power projects built in South Korea than previously anticipated.
China is continuing its rapid expansion into global new energy markets with exports of solar PV, wind turbines, and energy storage equipment, expected to be worth $100 billion this year, data from energy research firm Wood Mackenzie showed.
The coal plus renewables energy transition led by Asia Pacific’s largest growth markets – China and India – is gathering speed. Significantly, it is a lot cheaper than the natural gas plus renewables path followed by the EU and US to lower emissions.
China’s LNG imports are set to fall over 14% year-on-year to 69 million tonnes (Mt) in 2022, the largest decline since it started importing LNG, reported Wood Mackenzie.
Eastern Australia is experiencing a severe power crisis, which is largely the result of poor government planning, and serves as a reminder to other nations of the dire consequences that stem from failing to develop a pragmatic energy policy.
Energy major Eni has been named the upstream industry’s most-admired explorer in Wood Mackenzie’s annual Exploration Survey, and scooped discovery of the year for its find at Baleine.
A “rewriting” of energy trade flows is now underway according to Wood Mackenzie analysts, as Europe's move to wean itself off exports from Russia boosts investment in energy transition and LNG, but increases supply chain risks.
Key North Sea oil projects currently in the pre-final investment decision (FID) phase could deliver nearly 1.5 billion barrels, according to new research.
Opportunities abound for mergers and acquisitions across energy-hungry Asia Pacific nations, as majors, such as Chevron, Shell, and ExxonMobil, seek to exit or rationalise their upstream portfolios.
Subsea opportunities will be plentiful in Asia Pacific over the coming years as international oil companies (IOCs) and national oil companies (NOCs) advance a backlog of projects, while offshore wind developers accelerate activity across the region.
Black smoke spewed across Houston’s industrial suburbs for more than an hour on Monday morning, just days after a winter storm knocked out power at several of the nation’s largest oil refineries.
With around 200 carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects now in the pipeline, the fledgling sector is set for significant growth in 2022 – but cost controls, operational success and political support will be essential to maintain pace, says Wood Mackenzie.
Worries that the current shortage of liquefied natural gas will persist through the middle of the decade are triggering a rush to sign long-term deals, pushing up the price of contracts for the super-chilled fuel.
