How did we get here and what is the challenge? The evolution of an energy company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) profile demonstrates the tremendous power of capital markets.

Texas’ energy infrastructure, despite being warned after the 2011 freeze about the critical vulnerability of our fuel supplies and power supply system, found itself frozen from a cold weather event that no one thought likely … or even possible. Our natural gas producing infrastructure was not weatherized. Our power plant and transmission infrastructure were not […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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.
