A collateral consequence of the invasion of Ukraine has been an undeniable demonstration that the world is not yet in a position to abandon fossil fuels. With one face governments are encouraging the oil industry to produce more oil and gas; with the other face they are banging the drum, albeit with increasingly muffled drumsticks, for a zero-carbon future. Why should companies and financial institutions continue to invest in an industry, which is likely to experience falling prices and hostile policy in the future? Investors would be well advised to ensure that any new investment and loan financing is analysed thoroughly and hedged appropriately. Consilience explains its web-based software package that can calculate the right amount of hedging that has to be undertaken to protect the retained revenue stream and underwrite loan financing for oil projects. It calculates the consequences if the state’s official selling price (OSP) diverges from the joint venture partners’ actual sales price. It determines the scaling factor that has to be applied to forecast production when there is unequal tax treatment of physical sales and hedge gains and losses, by adjusting the volume of hedging that has to be undertaken.
