India: Opportunities In Clean Power Generation lweb.es/f2224 12.05.2016
India’s energy system faces the challenges of meeting growing demand, cutting pollution and offering more than 300 million people not connected to the power grid access to modern energy. The target is to build 175GW of renewable energy by 2022, primarily solar and wind. This would present an investment opportunity of more than $150 billion in clean power generation. This report examines the recent growth across India’s off-grid, small energy grids, rooftop solar and utility-scale renewable energy segments and looks at challenges in their future growth.
U.S. field production of crude oil increased in 2015 for the seventh consecutive year, reaching 9.42 million barrels per day. This was the highest crude oil production level since 1972. In 2015, production gains were highest in Texas, the Gulf of Mexico, and North Dakota, as these three regions accounted for 77% of the country’s total increase. Although annual production for 2015 grew, monthly U.S. crude oil production has declined since April 2015. Lower oil prices led to slower development activity, and production fell to 8.74 million b/d in August 2016.
According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Nigeria has capacity to create about $51 billion investment opportunities in the midstream and downstream gas sector. This investment will go into gas exploration and production activities, power plant projects, fertilizer plants, virtual pipelines and flare gas commercialization initiatives; as well as in Free Trade Zones infrastructure development and concessioning, port infrastructure, central gas processing facilities, gas transmission, LPG plants, real estate development, pipe milling and local fabrication yards. The intent is to position Nigeria as a regional hub for gas-based industries.
