IHS Markit | Company Peer Group Analysis Higher oil prices outweigh rising Key implications interest rates so far; debt investors For the 45 companies in the IHS Markit North continue to express confidence in American E&P peer group (composed of Small, Midsized, and Large E&Ps), the April 2018 average bond E&Ps, as most 2018 bond yields to yield to maturity (YTM) declined slightly from maturity lower than 2017 September 2017, dropping from 8.0% to 7.7%, indicating continued debt investor confidence in E&Ps. The Hassan Eltorie, Research and Analysis Associate Director decline is even more encouraging when factoring in recent increases in the federal funds rate, from 1.25% in September 2017 to the current 1.75%.

Even more encouraging, the current fears remain.

  • Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation
    Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation February,February 20192018 Prepared for Breakthrough Energy Coalitionby by IHS Markit and Energy Futures Initiative Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation, February 2019 1 Foreword We are pleased to submit our report, “Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation.” In this report we describe today’s U.S. ecosystem of clean energy innovation from the perspectives of technological potential, investment patterns, institutional roles, and public policy. The report identifies critical strengths and weaknesses of this ecosystem and offers recommendations for making that ecosystem more effective. It examines the different technology readiness stages through which innovation passes and the importance of feedback among those stages. It also discusses the significant opportunities to accelerate the pace of clean energy innovation that are presented by rapid advances occurring today across a myriad of technologies originating outside the energy sector. We would like to emphasize three observations from our report. • First, the U.S. has shown over many decades an unparalleled capacity to nurture energy innovation. This capacity reflects a rich and durable collaboration among government, universities, research institutions, industry, and entrepreneurs. This collaboration is grounded in the belief that energy innovation contributes importantly to economic growth, energy security, and environmental stewardship. • Second, even with our capacity to innovate, and even with the emergence of innumerable technological opportunities, there are significant challenges in moving forward with clean energy technology. These challenges arise from the sheer size and complexity of existing systems, the degree to which these systems are embedded in our economy, and the high public expectations of safety and reliability they must meet.
