Oil Sands, Greenhouse Gases, and US Oil Supply: Getting the Numbers Right
|
September 7, 2010
|
|
Evolving policy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions poses a new challenge for all sources of hydrocarbon supply, but particularly for the oil sands due to their higher-than-average GHG intensity. How does the carbon intensity of oil sands compare to other sources of US oil supply? What are the potential implications of life-cycle–based regulation on petroleum fuels, including those produced from oil sands?

Tighter Supply and Demand Fundamentals Support Crude Oil Prices in 2011
|
August 31, 2010
|
|
Shifting macroeconomic expectations have kept crude oil prices between $65 and $85 for much of this year. IHS CERA expects prices to remain in the middle of this band to year’s end and increase modestly in 2011, as upstream costs rise a projected 2 percent and the supply-demand balance tightens.

Surge in Demand Increases Challenges for China's Natural Gas Sector
|
August 23, 2010
|
|
China's natural gas demand continues to rise rapidly, driven by residential and industrial users. Gas supply is still a constraint, and the government finally announced an increase in end-user prices, partly to encourage supply. The increase in residential demand has also made the need for additional peak shaving and storage capacity more urgent.
