  • US shale: outlook and forecasts?

    US shale: outlook and forecasts?

    This model sets out our US shale production forecasts by basin. It covers the Permian, Bakken and Eagle Ford, as a function of the rig count, drilling productivity, completion rates, well productivity and type curves. US shale likely adds +1Mbpd/year of production growth from 2023-2030, albeit flatlining in 2024, then re-accelerating on higher oil prices?

  • US Shale Gas to Liquids?

    US Shale Gas to Liquids?

    Shell filed 42 distinct new patents around GTL in 2018. This data-file reviews them, showing how the broad array of GTL products confers defensiveness and downstream portfolio benefits. Hence, we have modeled the economics of “replicating” Pearl GTL in Texas. Our base case is a 11% IRR taking in 1.6bcfd of stranded gas from the…

  • CO2 concentrations in industrial exhaust streams?

    CO2 concentrations in industrial exhaust streams?

    The aim of this data-file is to compile CO2 concentrations in industrial exhaust streams, as a molar percentage of flue gas. This matters for the costs of CO2 separation. Most promising CCS candidates are bio-ethanol plants, industrial hydrogen production and some gas processing, followed by cement and steel plants.

  • US shale gas: the economics?

    US shale gas: the economics?

    This data-file breaks down the economics of US shale gas, in order to calculate the NPVs, IRRs and gas price breakevens. There is a perception that the US has an infinite supply of gas at $2/mcf, but rising hurdle rates and regulatory risk may require higher prices.

  • Energy transition: top commodities?

    Energy transition: top commodities?

    This data-file summarizes our latest thesis on ten commodities with upside in the energy transition. The average one will see demand rise by 3x and price/cost appreciate or re-inflate by 100%. The data-file contains a 6-10 line summary of our work into each commodity.

  • Rocket fuels: an overview?

    Rocket fuels: an overview?

    This data-file profiles five rocket fuels, based on data from 100 rockets: kerosene, hydrogen, solid fuels, nitrogen tetroxides and an exciting new-comer, LNG. Notably, SpaceX and Blue Origin are tilting away from hydrogen/kerosene and towards LNG.

  • Global energy: supply-demand model?

    Global energy: supply-demand model?

    This global energy supply-demand model combines our supply outlooks for coal, oil, gas, LNG, wind and solar, nuclear and hydro, into a build-up of useful global energy balances in 2023-30. Energy markets can be well-supplied from 2025-30, barring and disruptions, but only because emerging industrial superpowers will continuing using high-carbon coal.

  • Qatar’s North Field: production and productivity?

    Qatar’s North Field: production and productivity?

    We have aggregated production data from the largest gas fied in the world: Qatar’s North Field, aka Iran’s South Pars field, with 1,260 TCF reserves. Output is running at 43bcfd in 2022, more than doubling in the past decade, which is possibly impacting future well productivity.
