…sulphur”, rather than “easy sulphur”. For example, if we take Saudi Arabia’s production, comprising the most abundant crude oil streams on the planet, the more challenging sulphurs comprise 0.5% of…
…We think the way to achieve this is via better energy technologies. Specifically, the world invested $1.6bn in new energy supplies in 2018, which must be closer to $1.8-1.9bn, to…
…Norway (all <0.1Mbpd/year). The volatility of global oil markets is low compared to new energies. Across the 20-year period from 2003-2023, the standard deviation of YoY monthly oil production is…
…In Cognite’s example, this is safely achieved by using better data from multi-phase flow-meters upstream of the processing units. Better data enables better performance. Deferrals associated with the flow-meter calibration…
…energy source displaced. Examples to illustrate good vs bad batteries Electric cars are our top example of a “good battery”, with potential to uplift energy efficiency by 3.5x. This is…
…The technology is advancing rapidly. Fuel economies and costs will both be transformational. Aerial vehicles accelerate the energy transition. These conclusions are all explained in depth, in our new, 20-page…
Leading Oil Majors will play a crucial role in decarbonising the energy system. Their initiatives should therefore be encouraged by policy-makers and ESG investors, particularly where new energy technologies are…
…in remote geographies. Its technical leadership is clear in our analysis of 3,000 patents across the industry. This matters as Exxon progresses new LNG investments in Mozambique, PNG and the…
…laboratory analysis into CO2-EOR has been published in a new SPE paper, in partnership with CoreLabs. Oxy is at the forefront of CO2-EOR, according to our screening of patents and…
This data-file looks back at the fate of technology-leaders, i.e., the companies that developed the top ten, most-impactful new oil technologies of the 1980s and 1990s. Nine out of ten…
