Tapping working gas volume could cushion blow of Europe’s energy crunch

• 04 11月 2021

European gas storage has been struggling to fill this summer. Storage at the beginning of November will be about 75% full, at 83 billion cubic metres (bcm), 14 bcm below the five-year average, rattling the market. A cold European winter could result in storage levels falling to zero by the end of March 2022, unless more Russian gas supply is available versus current export levels. But there could be an alternative available to the market should this come to pass – tapping the substantial amount of cushion gas available in Europe’s storage facilities. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), said using cushion gas could allow an extra 15 bcm enter the market, easing the supply crunch.

Action to achieve Paris climate goals will upend oil and gas prices

• 15 4月 2021

If the world acts decisively to limit global warming to 2°C by 2050, the scale of change will revolutionise the energy industry.

Oil demand will shrink, and with it, so will the power of major oil producers. Gas demand will remain resilient, but business models will need to evolve.

Webinar | The 2021 Future of Exploration survey

We've analysed the data to discover the key challenges the industry is facing, which explorers stand out from the pack and the role of exploration in today’s energy company

Carbon removal key to meeting Paris Agreement target

• 24 6月 2021

Achieving the 2°C goal of the Paris Agreement will require more than simply avoiding carbon. To cap global warming at 1.5°C or even 2°C, carbon removal will be essential. Research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK), shows the key to effective large-scale carbon removal is unlocking potential economies of scale through basin-wide carbon capture and storage (CCS), effectively providing a community answer to a global problem.
