Last year was a bumper one for the global oil and gas exploration sector as it enjoyed its strongest 12 months in more than a decade.
Its more than a year since Shell (LON: SHEL) said it wouldn't invest in the Cambo oilfield, but as the project approaches a green light, the firm is weighing whether to stick or sell up its stake.
Wood Mackenzie looks at the impact of the latest government windfall tax policy and how this could affect the direction of the energy industry over the coming year with a full review of the sector’s fiscal system set to be undertaken.
Further North Sea oil and gas players are being tipped to up sticks next year as companies look to streamline their portfolios.
When this edition of the Energy Voice supplement was published a year ago, the North Sea oil and gas industry was in the doldrums.
Plays by Shell (LON: SHEL), TotalEnergies (LON: TTE) and Ithaca Energy (LON: ITH) are listed amongst Wood Mackenzie’s UK North Sea wells to watch.
Energy research and consultancy firm Westwood Global Energy Group has appointed a new director of hydrogen.
Priority clusters, earmarked for speedy development by the industry regulator, could deliver enough gas to meet 40% of the UK’s yearly demand.
Studies suggest that many people in Asia see diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI), as a Western concept, shaped by Western experiences and Western values, according to PwC.
Global wind turbine orders hit 43 gigawatts (GW) in the second quarter of the year, a new record.
With some of the cheapest solar and wind costs in Asia Pacific, as well as virtually unlimited land resources, Australia has great potential to be a leading exporter of green hydrogen.
Figures from the energy industry have added their voice to mourners around the world following the death of the Queen.
Wood Mackenzie researchers say the government’s windfall tax measures are likely to wipe around 20% off the value of North Sea operators on average, with the impact largely dependent on current tax and investment status.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has brought energy security into the spotlight and Norway is stepping up to meet demands while providing stable finances for producers and leading the way in decarbonisation.
Australian east coast energy prices skyrocketed earlier this year as a winter cold snap sent gas, coal, and electricity to record-highs, triggering price caps at A$40/Gigajoule (US$27/Million British Thermal Units), around 400% above the normal A$8-10/GJ price range.
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.
