*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
While all our global energy transition outlooks remain possible, there is an increasing probability of a slower-paced transition. But improving upstream sentiment comes at a time of high geopolitical tensions, and both supply and demand concerns. Near-term price weakness may belie longer-term market strength, setting 2025 up to be a year of mixed messages. Key themes include: 1. Upstream will obsessively focus on efficiency, 2. Resource capture will be back in vogue, 3. M&A will be high on strategic agendas, 4. Americas liquids growth won’t just come from the Permian 5. A new wave of LNG projects will start to take shape.
