And that is a wrap! We hope these past 3 days have been very insightful and gave you the necessary tools to identify opportunities, solve problems and prepare for the future of energy.   WATCH SESSIONS ON DEMAND   EVOLVE Keynote Speakers: On the last day of the EVOLVE Conference, we had two amazing keynote […]

Today we covered how generational differences often stem from experiences, technology and news events that occur during our formative years of adolescence and late teens. Those differences result in traits that impact communication styles, how people operate within a team, and expectations for corporate culture and structured career paths. Generational perspectives sometimes relate to overall […]

Today we covered the sector’s future, investability and how companies can best position themselves for success. There are a lot of moving parts that could take us in different directions and the sessions today gave focus to the convergence of demand destruction, ESG, the geopolitical environment, renewables, and recovery from a pandemic. Another key take […]

A fast-evolving cold weather system from Canada has cast a major arctic front across the northern, central, and southern plains. The series of storms is expected to hold strength through early next week. Forecasts predict the potential for record demand in ERCOT and SPP through early next week. Both regions are regularly exceeding their day-ahead […]

Now that market phenomena like negative crude futures and even equity volatility bonanzas like GameStop are increasingly commonplace, chief risk officers are living their best lives. The limelight has never shined so brightly on risk management. I know I am not alone in my rubbernecking to watch the newfound stock market trading craze from the […]

While discussion of political and environmental headwinds for the oil and gas industry is not new, the conversation grows louder with mounting scrutiny under a new U.S. political regime and an investor community that demands corporate and environmental responsibility. The implementation of a new state-level bill in Colorado challenges operators to remain competitive while adhering […]

What would you do if you had stage-by-stage data for an entire basin? At Enverus we use the data from over 5,000 Canadian unconventional wells, including data from over 175,000 stages, to complete detailed multivariate analysis that identifies the most influential completions variables to optimize production results. Interestingly, there was a clear bifurcation of results when […]

For years associated natural gas from oil production in the Permian Basin has been viewed as a byproduct with little monetary value. Infrastructure constraints and challenged pricing caused many operators to flare produced gas rather than capture and sell it. With significant egress capacity additions out of the Permian and gas prices expected to stay […]

The industry that drives global commerce and ensures our highest standards of living is underpinned by the complex and fascinating world of commodity trading. Without commodity trading, our lives would be vastly different. The exchange of physical commodities like crude oil, natural gas, metals and power guarantee that we can do everything from turning the […]

As we kick off a new year, energy companies are running leaner than ever. A major goal is to focus on minimizing the necessary cost or effort expended. If your company is trying to figure out how free up your staff’s time or just manage a heavy workload, the number one action we recommend is […]

COVID-19 Focused Investments: Publicly Traded Companies   Investor demands for showing free cash flow and capital discipline have been met with oil and gas public equities tamping down their capex spend, hunkering down to wait for WTI to appreciate enough to start completing DUCs and bringing their supplies to market, and consolidating in mergers or […]

Long-lead international upstream projects still offer returns that remain competitive with North American oil plays and the fast-growing renewable energy sector despite growing economic, investor and regulatory headwinds. As a result, long-term production declines from the international project slate will continue to be offset by world-class projects such as the Guyana/Suriname developments that offer strong […]

As I began to reflect the market trends of 2020, as well as what to expect in the New Year, I couldn’t help but laugh at my naivete in my call for more market volatility as renewables gain market share in power markets, which I published at this time last year. To be sure, we […]

Updating hundreds of thousands of type curves with new production data is no small feat. At Enverus, we use a proprietary type curve algorithm to draw and update type curves automatically in Enverus CORE based on our cleaned production data, leaving our analysts time to work on high-value analysis. We conducted a study to determine […]

All geologists working in the field start their day by throwing a few essential items into their backpacks: A hand lens, a hammer and a pad of paper to record the day’s findings. For geologists working from the office, we typically line our “backpacks” with other essential supplies. Geologists powered by Enverus start their day […]

Enverus has always had a flagship curve building solution with deep functionality, but it wasn’t designed for use by everybody. Before today, our flagship solution was largely restricted to a small and technical user group. With deep functionality came a complicated interface – and if you didn’t know how to write code, CurveBuilder probably wasn’t […]

The consensus among market participants leading up to the U.S. election linked a Joe Biden win to a bearish outcome for global oil prices and the oil industry. Despite this fear, a rally in global oil prices drove the XOP, an ETF which tracks a basket of U.S. exploration and production equities, to outperform the […]

The buildup to tax season can be a hectic and stressful time for operators. Every year, operators spend weeks processing and mailing 1099s and state tax documents to mineral rights owners, while handling related inquiries from owners (which could increase by up to three times normal volumes). Unfortunately, many operators are dealing with reduced staff. […]

As most risk analysts know, it’s difficult to truly observe a local holiday at home when your company does international trade deals with countries all over the world. It’s scarcely any different for those of us who work in the business of distributing, collecting, or analyzing market data. The imports, exports, and pipeline flows you […]

With the recent surge in COVID-19 infections across much of the developed world, policymakers have started to re-introduce lockdown measures to control the spread. These efforts often restrict the movement of people in public spaces, reducing close contact to one another. France is currently under a national lockdown where people are only permitted to go […]

One tool Enverus uses to evaluate and analyze different regions of a play is generating distinct geographical regions. Enverus uses a 2D map clustering algorithm to create geologically similar regions that are ranked based on rock characteristics. We then look at other factors like well activity, productivity and cost structure to assign breakevens to each […]

As a company grows, so does its process, administrative and technology needs. Operations become more complex, and the company must adapt to remain efficient in this new environment. At some point, oil and gas companies must examine and decide how they should evolve to meet the company’s growth, and if it makes more sense to […]

It is Nov. 13, 2024, and for the first time in five years, global oil demand is set to average just over 100 MMbbl/d annually. Oil consumption trod a long and uneven path to get here. While the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the energy “transition” in the OECD, oil is experiencing a surprising renaissance in non-OECD […]

Does your trade floor have a separation of powers? Our Enverus team members focused on trading and risk always attend the Energy Trading Risk Summit to soak in the thinking and logic of risk analysts. It’s inspiring and fascinating to see the lengths risk managers will go to protect data integrity and implement mitigation strategies. […]

Well results in the southern Delaware Basin degraded severely in recent years. Although early parent well delineation presented enticing recoveries, as operators tightened well spacing and introduced child well drilling, meaning a second, third or even fourth well in close proximity to the original one, oil recoveries and economic returns suffered. Compared with the northern […]
