Full Spectrum: Upstream Oil and Gas
How oil and gas are found, drilled and produced, and who does it.

An institutional volume on an industry that runs to stand still. Worldwide, with the United States in depth, from the acreage award to the custody transfer meter, and on through decommissioning. It opens with the industry, then works through what is produced and who buys it, how a field is found and brought to production, the technologies and equipment, and the materials and critical inputs. Reservoirs and reserves, exploration, drilling, completions and fracturing, shale, offshore, production and artificial lift, gas and LNG, deals and capital returns, and OPEC+ and the chokepoints each get their own chapter. Then execution and capacity, the supply chain and value chain, the companies, geography and trade, operations and the aftermarket, regulation and access, demand and market size, costs and pricing, innovation, and the forecast.

The volume argues from five conclusions. Most upstream spending only keeps production level. Shale grows on productivity, not rig count. Two different businesses share the word upstream. Geography and chokepoints set the price. And gas is the growing half. Every company in an exhibit carries its own logo, and every page carries its source and how firmly the evidence holds.

The reference workbook.
Built to be used rather than read. The scope, taxonomy and definitions the volume relies on, every assumption flagged with its basis, the full register of source documents, and a photographs register. Every source in it is free and public.

The forecast model.
World upstream capital spending and liquids demand through 2035 in constant dollars, calibrated to the International Energy Agency’s published capital figures and driven by field decline. Conservative, Base and Upside are computed side by side rather than toggled, and the model shows which driver moves the answer most. The formulas are live: every driver is an input you can change, and the model recomputes.

You receive: the volume as a PDF and as a PowerPoint, the reference workbook, and the forecast model.
