  The Petroleum Industry Act: a gamechanger for Nigeria’s upstream?

  • 28 10月 2021

  The PIA sets the fiscal terms for Nigeria's upstream sector through the energy transition years. After a tumultuous 18 months, legislators decided that more radical surgery was needed to save Nigeria from a bleak future of upstream decline. What they have delivered is both remarkable and necessary. Remarkable, because in no other jurisdiction has there been such a major transfer of value to current lease holders in onshore and shallow water. It's a different story in deepwater though, where most contractors are still to renegotiate their terms. Necessary, because Nigeria is awash with underinvested assets. Unless something is done quickly, greenhouse gas emissions and access to capital will become an even bigger risk than they are currently.

  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.

  OPEC+ shrugs off US pressure to announce 400,000 b/d output boost

  • 04 11月 2021

  Speaking after today’s OPEC+ meeting, Ann-Louise Hittle, vice president, Macro Oils, at Wood Mackenzie, said: “After unusual pressure from the US administration to lift its production, OPEC+ announced it is boosting output by 400,000 barrels per day (b/d) for December, in line with its 18 July 2021 agreement. This will be seen as disappointing by the US, which is asking for an extra increase closer to 600,000 b/d. But as long as OPEC+ actually boosts its output by 400,000 b/d, the US has indicated it will accept the outcome."
