Global oil production

Everything we say about macro trends can be supported by disaggregated asset- orfield-level data sets, which is what makes this company unique. And this is only possiblebecause of our bottom-up approach to data.

Artem Abramhov, Senior Partner & Head of Oil and Gas

Back in 2015, like most players in the market, we underestimatedthe long-term growth in global oil production. The consensus wasclear: US supply would plateau after 2020 and high prices wouldkeep demand in check.​

Fast forward to 2019, and the pendulum swung the other way.Forecasts, including ours, overestimated future production, unableto foresee the pandemic that would reshape economies and slashdemand.​

By 2020, when uncertainty was at its peak, we delivered accuracyabove and beyond our peers. While others struggled to recalibrate,our models projected a slow recovery, and 2025 production levelsare within ±1% of our forecast. That precision was the result ofrigorous data quality, adaptive modeling, and continuous validation.

US crude oil

We go well-by-well, we assess the geology, we look at the engineering, we study theeconomics. You add all those things together with a consistent approach, and that's howyou deliver what has proven to be the most accurate data in the industry.

Amir Zaman, Partner & Commercial Directors, Americas

Already in 2014, we correctly anticipated the growth trajectory of US shale oil production, five years ahead of time. Our early insights reflected a deep understanding of cost curves, technology adoption and investment patterns shaping the shale landscape.​

By 2019, the outlook had shifted. Like the rest of the market, we could not foresee a global pandemic that would reduce the “call” on US shale by 2–3 million barrels of oil per day. That disruption underscored the importance of agility in forecasting and the need to integrate real-time signals into long-term models.​

In 2021 and again in 2023, we demonstrated that agility. Our forecasts for 2025 production landed within ±2%, even amid unprecedented volatility. That accuracy was driven by advanced analytics, continuous model recalibration, and proactive integration of emerging market signals.

Upstream CAPEX

It's not that we have a vision and then we make the trend align with our vision. The data comes first, and then we create the vision based on this data.

Olga Savenkova, Vice President, Head of Oil and Gas Sustainability

In 2019, before the pandemic, we projected global exploration andproduction (E&P) investments would rise from $500 billion to $600billion by 2025, driven by expectations of an upcycle and costinflation. That view reflected the prevailing optimism across theindustry at the time.​

By May 2020, during the first pandemic lockdown, that picturechanged dramatically. While uncertainty dominated, we delivereda clear signal: capital expenditure would recover gradually from$350 billion to $500 billion by 2024, shaped by rising activity levelsand supply chain constraints.​

In 2024, we again demonstrated foresight by accuratelyforecasting the end of the post-pandemic upcycle, anticipating ashift before it became consensus. This precision was enabled bydisciplined cost tracking, dynamic scenario planning, andcontinuous alignment with real-time market indicators.

Powering FPSO financing and growth: Yinson Production’s partnership with Rystad Energy Advisory

Challenge

The partnership began during a particularly challenging time for offshore oil and gas financing. The first project involved lender due diligence for a Brazilian FPSO. At the time, also given lower oil prices, market sentiment was turning against oil and gas investments, making it challenging to attract financial backing.
