Jarand Rystad founded Rystad Energy in 2004, filling a significant gap in the market. He saw a need for a consistent and comprehensive dataset for all oil and gas fields globally.

The ambition was that the sum of the field-level data should add up to global production levels, and that long-term forecasts should be logical – both economically and from a natural science perspective. Moreover, the dataset should be convenient to use, including a wide range of options to slice and dice the data in all dimensions. Based on this unique dataset, Rystad Energy could offer efficient top management consulting, while also revolutionizing business intelligence by offering direct access to this dataset through the innovative product UCube.

Since then, Rystad Energy has become a world-leading analysis and consultancy company, offering services and analysis across the full spectrum of energy sources and with presence in all corners of the globe. Today, we track all energy sources, from production to consumption, providing reliable data, projections and advice to enable our clients to predict and plan for the future. Our goal is to contribute to a responsible energy transition, in which energy is provided to all while also achieving ambitious climate goals.

With offices in more than 25 locations worldwide, and with a 500-strong team of talented Rystad Energy employees from more than 50 countries, our insights and expert analyses are truly unique, diverse and global. A sought-after voice in the energy market, Rystad Energy is widely recognized for its up-to-date, consistent and comprehensive analysis.
