■ Sky 2050 has very rapid transport electrification, but would still need continued investment in oil and gas because of
cautious assumptions on the use of food based biofuels, on people reducing their energy use voluntarily and it doubts
whether some major resource holders can produce their oil and gas reserves.
■ Archipelagos would need a considerable increase of investment in oil and gas.

* Estimated resource base is Rystad's assessment of economically viable discovered volumes. Percentages capped at 100% for consistency, but where the model
produces a significant propotion of yet-to-find volumes, the total produced volume in the model will exceed the resource base estimate.
