The share of U.S. total energy consumption that originated from fossil fuels has fallen from its peak of 94% in 1966 to 80% in 2018. The total amount of fossil fuels consumed in the United States has also fallen from its peak of 86 quads in 2007. Since then, coal consumption decreased by 10 quads and petroleum by 2 quads, more than offsetting a 7 quad increase in natural gas consumption.

Министр подчеркнул, что темпы потребления сжиженного природного газа (СПГ) в 3,5 раза выше, чем в целом газа. «К 2035 году мировой спрос на СПГ ещё удвоится и составит около 600 миллионов тонн. Основным «локомотивом» потребления станет Азиатско-Тихоокеанский регион. Китай и Индия совокупно покроют более 50% прироста спроса на СПГ в АТР. В результате, к 2035 году доля СПГ в мировой торговле может вырасти с сегодняшних 35% от общего объёма торговли газом до 51%. Россия уже сегодня уверенный лидер на мировом газовом рынке - как по запасам, так по добыче и экспорту», - сказал Д.Кобылкин.

India's gas demand will continue to rise over the next few years, aided by pricing and policy reforms undertaken by the government and massive investments planned in pipelines and port infrastructure

U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that natural gas-fired electricity generation in the United States will increase by 6% in 2019 and by 2% in 2020. EIA also forecasts that generation from wind power will increase by 6% in 2019 and by 14% in 2020.

U.S. EIA - Crude oil production from the major US onshore regions is forecast to increase 74,000 b/d month-over-month in September from 8,769 to 8,843 thousand barrels/day, gas production to increase 469 million cubic feet/day from 81,893 to 82,362 million cubic feet/day .

Для исполнения подобных планов потребуются немалые инвестиции в выработку электроэнергии, которые, как отметил Александр Новак, уже на сегодня фактически превысили суммарные инвестиции в добычу углеводородов.

U.S. natural gas production continued to increase in August, setting a new daily production record of 92.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) on August 19, 2019,

Russia exported 248 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2018, mostly via pipeline to Europe. In the next decade, its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will almost triple to 68 bcm as the Yamal LNG project reaches full capacity and Arctic 2 LNG comes online (plus two smaller projects).

«Мы живем во время стремительных технологических перемен. Развитие мирового энергетического рынка сопровождается ускоренным развитием технологий. Интерес энергетической отрасли к технологиям подтверждает и тот факт, что объем сделок по финансированию стартапов крупнейших нефтегазовых компаний в 2017 году был максимальным за всю историю», - рассказал Антон Инюцын в своем докладе.

Brazil has announced the rules for an auction of oil drilling rights worth $26bn, setting the stage for Latin America’s top crude producer to become an even bigger player in the global market.

The chief executive of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said that the long-term outlook for global energy demand was “robust” and that investment of $11 trillion in oil and gas was needed to keep up with projected demand.

"Energy is essential for promoting human development and global demand is projected to increase significantly in the coming decades," Rising said. "Securing access to modern and affordable energy is essential for all, lifting people out of poverty and promoting energy independence and economic growth. Nuclear energy is a proven solution with a long established track record.

Investment in new renewable energy is on course to total $2.6 trillion in the years from 2010 through the end of 2019, according to a study by BloombergNEF for the United Nations Environment Program and Frankfurt School’s UNEP Center published Thursday.

"Western sanctions have helped deepen Russia-China energy links as Chinese entities have emerged as a source of capital, which in turn has facilitated Chinese financing of the Yamal LNG project as well as the conclusion of the Power of Siberia pipeline," Dr Michal Meidan, director of the China Energy Program at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, said.

India and Russia are targeting $30 billion of annual trade by 2025, India’s foreign secretary said on Wednesday as a string of energy deals deepened economic ties between the nations.
