Institutional Profile¶
Enverus Intelligence Research is a subsidiary of Enverus, the leading energy data analytics SaaS platform. Enverus's data partnerships cover:
- 95% of US energy producers

- Comprehensive upstream, midstream, and downstream data coverage
This gives EIR unusual data depth for balance modeling — they have actual producer-level data, not just market estimates.
Key Research Contributions to the KB¶
| Finding | Value | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| OECD inventory trough | 2.36 Bbbl Q4 2026 | Most specific trough figure from any source |
| Brent H2 2026 average | $110/bbl | Above EIA ($105) and below Rystad worst case |
| Brent Q4 2026 peak | ~$117/bbl | Enverus's peak quarter |
| Brent above $100 until | Q3 2027 | Longer above $100 than EIA ($89 Q4) |
| Year-end 2027 | mid-$90s | Structural floor above pre-crisis |
| Durable geopolitical premium | $5–$10/bbl | New structural concept |
| Delay sensitivity | +$10–$15/bbl per additional month | New quantitative tool |
Why EIR Numbers Differ From EIA¶
EIR's OECD trough (2.36 Bbbl) differs from EIA's (2.3 Bbbl) — EIR's model shows a slightly higher trough (less severe draw). This likely reflects EIR's proprietary producer data capturing more supply response than EIA's government model.
The Brent forecasts differ more substantially: EIR has Brent above $100 through Q3 2027 while EIA forecasts $89 by Q4 2026. The difference reflects EIR's view that demand destruction is insufficient to bring prices below $100 until late 2027 — a more bearish demand outlook than EIA.
Relationship to Existing KB Concepts¶
- oecd-inventory-operational-floor — EIR provides the 2.36 Bbbl specific trough figure
- race-against-time — delay sensitivity ($10–$15/bbl per month) is the quantitative version
- durable-geopolitical-premium — EIR's original concept
- hormuz-scenario-tree — EIR's price path adds detail to scenario branches
