Wood Mackenzie

Wood Mackenzie traces its roots to an Edinburgh stockbroker founded in 1923 and began publishing oil research in 1973. Since then, it has expanded from upstream oil and gas research into a broader intelligence business covering energy, chemicals, metals, mining, power, and renewables. The firm became a portfolio company of Veritas Capital in February 2023.

Wood Mackenzie sells proprietary data, market forecasts, analytics, asset valuations, and consulting services to energy and natural-resources companies, utilities, investors, financial institutions, and governments. Its work spans commercial due diligence, strategy, supply-chain analysis, market entry, transaction support, and energy-transition planning.

Its distinctive strength is cross-commodity and cross-market analysis: the firm connects research on oil and gas, LNG, power, renewables, hydrogen, batteries, chemicals, and critical minerals. It is particularly relevant for clients assessing infrastructure investments, commodity-market exposure, asset values, and the commercial effects of decarbonisation.
