Rystad Energy

Founded in Oslo in 2004 by Jarand Rystad, the company has grown from an energy consultancy into an independent research and energy intelligence provider. Its headquarters remain in Oslo, Norway, with a global office network.

Rystad Energy combines proprietary datasets, analyst-led models and market research covering oil, gas, power, renewables, emissions and other parts of the energy transition. It sells data and analytics products, advisory services and tailored energy education to companies, investors, governments and other energy-market participants.

Its clearest strength is detailed, bottom-up analysis: the firm assembles granular asset- and market-level data, then uses models and analyst judgment to produce forecasts, benchmarking and scenario analysis. That makes it particularly relevant for students interested in energy markets, commodities, infrastructure, sustainability, strategy or research-heavy consulting.
