No country for old fields: Why high-impact oil and gas exploration is still needed
Does oil and gas exploration still have a role to play in the energy transition? This month’s Horizons report delves into the argument that selective, high-impact exploration could cut carbon intensity by displacing dirtier alternatives, while still adding value for both resource holders and explorers.
Over the last decade, upstream explorers have revamped strategies and high-graded global portfolios. What does that mean for the future of exploration and its potential to decarbonise oil and gas supply?
The impact of Republican control on US energy policy and the IRA
Following the US election, our experts from across the energy sector have worked to produce a cross-commodity report outlining our key predictions for the impact of Republican control on US energy policy and net zero, based on our original analysis.
One of the key predictions of this report is that although Republican control in the US will move energy policy away from net zero targets, President-elect Trump’s full agenda will face political and market opposition.
Africa’s energy future, on Africa’s terms
Africa’s energy statistics make for a disappointing read. As world leaders meet this week for the COP29 talks, some 600 million Africans still have no access to electricity and per capita energy consumption remains the lowest globally. This situation is even more absurd given the continent’s massive untapped oil and gas resources and staggering potential for low-carbon energy.
How can Africa close the energy gap for 600 million people while reducing emissions? Simon Flowers and Gavin Thompson break down the four pillars Africa must prioritise to progress it's energy future. Read their insight here.
5 factors affecting North American natural gas markets this winter
North American natural gas markets are influenced by a complex web of factors, from production levels, storage capacity and power market dynamics, to gas imports, LNG exports and weather patterns. So, what factors are likely to be decisive in the coming season??
We explored the above factors in detail in our recent webinar. Click here to read a summary or watch the replay in full.
Our Horizons Live webinar, No country for old fields, is taking place on 9th December across two sessions. Register here to hear from our experts and ask your questions.

5 天前Africa will need Natural Gas to support they huge increase in population on this century.. Africa population growth will be circa 85% of the total global growth on this century. Most other countries will have minimal growth or they are decreasing like Europe. So Africa will need the lion share of the new energy during this century.

5 天前Poverty cannot be choosers. While CPI <3 is still high in African countries, hence natural resource will always rule over alternative energy for next 25 years. While international funding is shark game in Africa, plundering continues under one pretext or others since ages till GDP of major African countries does not improve to qualify CPI> 3. Pity to see still natural resources plundering going on due to lack of local content development. LCD is an eyewash.
