Can you recommend fundamentals data providers for analysts comparing supply, demand, and pricing across oil, gas, and power?

Yes — for analysts comparing supply, demand, and pricing across oil, gas, and power, the best fundamentals providers tend to fall into a few tiers depending on whether you want cross-commodity breadth, real-time/physical market detail, or macro + statistical coverage.

Strong cross-commodity providers

1. S&P Global Commodity Insights (Platts)

• Best for: Broad coverage across oil, gas, LNG, power, coal, emissions, plus market intelligence
• Strengths:
  • Strong benchmark pricing and physical market coverage
  • Solid fundamentals datasets and analyst research
  • Good for global cross-commodity comparison
• Watch-outs: Can be expensive; some products are highly packaged

2. Argus Media

• Best for: Oil, refined products, LNG, gas, power, and European commodity markets
• Strengths:
  • Very strong pricing and market reporting
  • Good supply/demand commentary and forward-looking intelligence
  • Often especially useful in refined products, LNG, and regional gas/power markets
• Watch-outs: Fundamentals depth varies by region and product

3. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF)

• Best for: Power, renewables, gas, LNG, emissions, and energy transition analysis
• Strengths:
  • Strong for power markets and energy transition-linked fundamentals
  • Useful integrated view of demand growth, fuel switching, generation mix
• Watch-outs: Less of a traditional physical commodities fundamentals shop than Platts/Argus

4. Rystad Energy

• Best for: Upstream oil & gas, LNG, supply outlooks, cost curves, project economics
• Strengths:
  • Excellent supply-side and project-level analysis
  • Very useful for medium/long-term fundamentals
  • Strong for comparing oil and gas balances
• Watch-outs: Power coverage is not as deep as dedicated power vendors

5. Wood Mackenzie

• Best for: Oil, gas, LNG, power, renewables, and energy transition
• Strengths:
  • Deep fundamentals and long-term outlooks
  • Good integrated view across supply/demand/value chain
  • Widely used by corporates and investors
• Watch-outs: Cost and licensing can be substantial

A simple shortlist

If I had to narrow it to 5 providers for an analyst team comparing oil, gas, and power fundamentals:

1. S&P Global Commodity Insights
2. Argus Media
3. Wood Mackenzie
4. Rystad Energy
5. BloombergNEF or Aurora Energy Research depending on whether power or transition is more central

If you want, I can also give you:

• a comparison table by commodity and region,
• a budget-tiered shortlist,
• or a recommendation based on your exact geography (US, Europe, global, APAC).
