Upstream Solution

Navigate the upstream industry and the latest market changes with real-time insights

Introduction

The energy market experienced a remarkable year in 2022, with oil and gas companies reporting unprecedented profits that exceeded $800 billion in free cash flow. Now that the fourth-quarter reports for exploration and production (E&P) companies have been released, it is possible to evaluate the upstream investments that industry players are guiding for this year. For the public companies that Rystad Energy has been able to obtain guidance from, there is a total growth in upstream investments of about 15% this year compared to 2022.

As part of our Upstream Solution, we provide access to a unique oil & gas database that has coverage of more than 85,000 fields and licenses globally, allowing you to build up production, reserves, and economic data from micro to macro level. This unmatched approach to working with data allows you to easily learn about the recent developments in the upstream industry, draw conclusions on the commerciality of projects, look at the supply potential of different companies and countries, and make educated investment decisions.

Moreover, in addition to the global database, get access to a fully customized modeling tool, where you can input your own assumptions on a variety of parameters (e.g., prices, discount rate, tax models) to generate customized profiles for each company or project of interest.

Our analytical tools are also supplemented by access to the client portal with the library of reports and commentaries that synthesize the market implications of trends and key events along with our expert views, all backed by Rystad Energy's unparalleled data universe.
