Decision-led research
Follow the workflow across company boundaries.
These guides connect operators, infrastructure, software, public data, and control points around one high-stakes energy decision. They are maps—not rankings or vendor endorsements.
Decision guides
Cross-company workflow maps
Upstream forecasting and valuation company map
Map the operators, data providers, and reserves-economics systems involved in oil and gas production forecasting, price decks, and asset valuation.
Commodity trading, ETRM, and risk company map
Understand the traders, CTRM and ETRM platforms, hedge systems, and market-data handoffs behind physical energy positions and settlement.
LNG and midstream analytics company map
Map LNG operators, pipeline and terminal owners, engineering firms, software providers, and data flows across the natural-gas value chain.
Sector guides
Exploration & production
Upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas explained
How the oil and gas value chain divides into upstream, midstream, and downstream roles, with real company examples and the handoffs between them.
US natural gas producers: basins, operators, and pricing
Where U.S. natural gas is produced, how producers differ by basin and product mix, and which pipeline and price facts shape their realized value.
Oil and gas price decks: strip, flat, escalated, and SEC cases
How oil and gas price decks are built and governed: strip, flat, escalated, and SEC 12-month average pricing, plus differentials and approvals.
Decline curve analysis: methods, type curves, and software
How decline curve analysis forecasts oil and gas production, how type curves are built, and which forecasting and reserves software teams use.
Sector guides
Field services & equipment
Oilfield service companies: how the service sector is organized
A map of oilfield service companies by role: integrated majors, completions, pressure control, subsea, intervention, drilling, and compression.
Frac companies: who runs hydraulic fracturing in North America
How frac companies differ: pressure-pumping fleets, owned sand and equipment, wellhead and valve suppliers, and the data each one leaves behind.
Drilling contractors and the companies around the rig
How drilling contractors, bit makers, drilling software, and intervention specialists divide the work of constructing an oil or gas well.
Sector guides
Midstream & infrastructure
Natural gas compression companies and where compression sits
Contract compression providers, pipeline operators, and equipment makers: who owns and runs gas compression from the wellhead to the transmission line.
Midstream companies: what midstream oil and gas does
What midstream oil and gas companies do, from gathering and processing to transmission, storage, fractionation, compression, and LNG export terminals.
Methane detection technology for oil and gas operations
How oil and gas operators detect methane leaks with OGI cameras, aerial LiDAR, satellites, and continuous monitors, and how EPA rules shape the choice.
Sector guides
Energy AI & analytics
AI in oil and gas: use cases and the companies behind them
Where AI is used in oil and gas: subsurface interpretation, drilling, artificial lift, forecasting, and engineering data, mapped to sourced companies.
AI in energy: power markets, grids, and weather forecasting
How AI is used in power markets, grid planning, battery dispatch, and weather forecasting, with the companies involved and the controls to test.
Sector guides
Trading, logistics & shipping
Largest energy trading companies and how to compare them
Compare global energy traders by physical volumes, asset ownership, commodity breadth, and disclosure quality instead of headline revenue alone.
Tanker companies: crude, product, and LNG shipping explained
How crude, product, and LNG tanker companies differ, who owns, operates, and charters the ships, and how to research tanker shipping companies.
Sector guides
Energy software
ETRM and CTRM software: definitions, modules, and shortlists
What ETRM and CTRM software do, how they differ, which modules matter, and how to shortlist platforms for physical and financial energy trading.
Oil and gas software: a map by upstream and trading workflow
Oil and gas software organized by workflow: reserves and economics, drilling, production operations, accounting, trading and risk, and data platforms.
