Natural gas Oil Coal Non-fossil Oil & Gas share

BP World Energy Outlook 2024: Primary energy demand

  • Recent long-term forecasts for oil and gas demand have been increased
  • Energy demand continuing to increase while clean energy switch slows
  • Oil & Gas likely to play an important role in the foreseeable future, despite strong growth in renewable energy capacity
  • Phasing out of coal a prioritized challenge – likely to still make up a significant part of energy mix in 2050

Near-term Growth in US Onshore Production Unlikely

  • Oil and gas production from US onshore has leveled off
  • The number of drilled and uncompleted wells (DUCs) has declined lately production growth requires significant increase in rig count
  • TGS' DUC count estimate significantly lower than EIA estimates suggesting even less potential for near-term production growth

Permian Decline Rates Are Increasing

  • Oil production from Permian the by far largest basin onshore US has increased steadily over the past years, compensating for decreasing production from other basins
  • As drilling activity has intensified, decline rates have increased, suggesting lower growth potential in the long-term

Strong Growth in Renewables and CCUS

Drives need for data and insights

  • Strong growth in renewable power generation increased need of data driven decision support to navigate challenges caused by complex regulatory frameworks, technical obstacles and challenging commercial environments
  • Reaching net zero goals requires extensive use of carbon capture technologies
  • TGS offers high quality data, insights and software solutions to help clients making better decisions throughout the energy value chain
