    Should a shale rig switch to gas-fuel?

    Should a shale rig switch to gas-fuel? We estimate that a dual-fuel shale rig, running on in-basin natural gas would save $2,300/day (or c$30k/well), compared to a typical diesel rig. This is after a >20% IRR on the rig’s upgrade costs. The economics make sense. However, converting the entire Permian rig count to run on…

  • Fast-charge the electric vehicles with gas?

    Fast-charge the electric vehicles with gas?

    There is upside for natural gas, as EV penetration rises: we model that gas turbines can economically power fast-chargers for 13c/kWh. Carbon emissions are lowered by c70% compared with oil. And the grid is spared from power demand surges. Download our data-file to stress-test the sensitivities.

    Net zero Oil Majors: four cardinal virtues?

    Attaining โ€˜Net Zeroโ€™ can uplift an Energy Majorโ€™s valuation by c50%. This means emitting no net CO2, either from the companyโ€™s operations or from the use of its products. This 19-page report shows how a Major can best achieve โ€˜net zeroโ€™ by exhibiting four cardinal virtues. Decarbonization is not a threat but an opportunity.

  • Global gas: five predictions through 2030?

    Global gas: five predictions through 2030?

    Modelling Europeโ€™s gas balances currently feels like grasping at straws. Yet this 10-page note makes five predictions through 2030. We have revised our views on how fast new energies ramp, which gas gets displaced first, which energy sources are no longer โ€˜in the firing lineโ€™, and gas pricing.
