Cleaning up end-of-life oil and gas infrastructure is expected to cost trillions of dollars, but most companies have saved very little to pay for these costs.

Ensuring these liabilities are responsibly managed and fully funded is necessary to prevent these costs being transferred to the public. 

The energy transition will bring these long-tail liabilities forward in time, increasing cash outflows and adding liabilities to the balance sheet. Left unaddressed, this poses a risk to the companies that hold these liabilities, their former owners, investors, and governments. Redwater Insights provides high-quality data and analysis to support better understanding and management of these risks.
