Europe’s $800 Billion Energy Crisis Sparks Investment Frenzy
FN Media Group Presents Oilprice.com Market Commentary
LONDON, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The energy crisis that engulfed Europe after Western sanctions punished Russia’s invasion of Ukraine cost the continent hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, the Middle East crisis and the Houthi war on the Red Sea could threaten future energy supplies. Companies mentioned in this release include: TotalEnergies, MCF Energy, Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL), Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB), Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:GLNG), Transocean Ltd (NYSE:RIG).
While climate change remains at the top of the agenda, the immediate name of the game is “energy security,” and that has opened up enormous opportunities for investors on both sides of the divide.
At the height of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, European countries were even forced to return to coal burning. While that has since declined, with climate change returning to the top of the agenda, natural gas has regained status as the only viable bridge to a green energy transition.
In early February, Germany earmarked $16 billion for the construction of four natural gas power plants to complement a renewable energy expansion push. And Austria has recently made its largest natural gas discovery in four decades—enough to increase its domestic production by 50%.
In the meantime, Germany—the EU’s largest economy—has been creating a new dependency on American LNG. In fact, according to McKinsey, “Europe has come to shape global gas markets, with European hub prices setting global LNG spot prices.”
That false sense of security is also being threatened by the Biden administration’s recent pause on new LNG projects. But one thing is clear: Natural gas is back in fashion in Europe, and domestic sources in combination with renewable energy are the only true answer to energy security.
Below are two companies well-positioned to take advantage of the new energy security atmosphere in Europe:
#1 TotalEnergies (TOT)
French TotalEnergies (TOT) is shaping up to be a big winner on the Europe-LNG playing field. TOT partnered with QatarEnergy in Qatar’s giant North Field East and North Field South projects in a joint venture. Last Fall, the JV secured two long-term deals—27 years–to deliver LNG to France, beginning in 2026. TOT has a 6.25% share in the North Field East LNG expansion project and a 9.375% share in the North Field South project.
Deals of this magnitude are usually reserved for Asian buyers, so a 27-year deal for Europe is a milestone for TOT in Europe, where the company can now brandish its status as a major contributor to France’s energy security.
Earlier this month, TOT reported its highest profit in history for 2023, underpinned by LNG performance and its electricity divisions, which helped push net profit to $21.4 billion, or 4% higher than in 2022.
The French giant is pursuing a more unique strategy in terms of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Instead of simply divesting fossil fuels assets (though it is offloading its Canadian oil sands), it’s “expanding ownership of renewable power and low-carbon assets” and “expects to more than double its gross renewable generation capacity by 2025”. It’s covering demand from all angles, Aristotle Capital Global Equity Strategy noted in a recent investment letter.
Going forward, the upstream growth focus is to be driven by TOT’s bet oil and gas to boost profits, in addition to exploration success, new oil projects and an expansion of its LNG portfolio. Suriname offshore exploration could see $9 billion invested, and observers are closing watching its new Venus oil discovery offshore Namibia.
#2 MCF Energy (MCF.V; MCFNF.QX)
Small-cap MCF Energy, backed by veteran explorer and producer, Ford Nicholson, is convinced that this is the right atmosphere in which to foster European energy security through domestic natural gas production.
Germany and Austria are key venues for this, and MCF is tapping into five key prospects several of which have had wells that have produced or are capable of producing gas from, three previous discoveries.
MCF Energy is the first new public company consolidating major exploration projects in Europe, and it’s the first since Russia invaded Ukraine to offer investors an opportunity to help build domestic natural gas resources in Germany and Austria.
The company is targeting large-scale natural gas exploration and production here, with two drills in the next several months, the first of which has already begun in Austria, in the Welchau prospect near the Austrian Alps.
Strategically located 18 kilometers from a pipeline, Welchau is adjacent to an up-dip from a discovery that intersected at least a 400-meter gas column previously. According to MCF, all elements are in place here for a significant discovery.
Thanks to its 100% acquisition of German Genexco last year, MCF Energy is now ready to drill down for some much-needed domestic energy resources for Germany.
MCF’s second drill, planned for March, is in Bavaria, which is home to the company’s Lech and East Lech concessions, which cover 10 sq km and 100 sq km, respectively. Lech has three previously drilled wells and two discoveries. Adjacent to this, Lech East, in southwest Bavaria, is a large-scale concession covering ~100 square kilometers, with significant 3D seismic and AI showing more potential ahead of MCF Energy’s planned 4.6-million-euro exploration program.
At Lech, MCF will re-enter Mobil’s former Kinsau #1 well, adapting new drilling technology and eventually horizontal wells to stimulate the already known hydrocarbons. Mobil established production rates of over 24 MMCF per day of natural gas with associated condensate from the Kinsau #1 in the ’80s.
About a week into a 40-day drill in Austria and only several months away from its first drill into Germany’s proven resources, MCF Energy (MCF.V; MCFNF.QX) is convinced it’s on track for a hit that could give Germany a partial domestic solution to its ongoing energy security problems.

The global mobile wallet and payment market is observing substantial growth and is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in the foreseeable future. This growth can be accredited to numerous factors. Firstly, contactless payment adoption has risen dramatically across the globe, as it eliminates consumers’ need to carry cash while making purchases. Digital payments, which include near-field communication (NFC) and QR code-based transactions, are becoming more popular. Consumers are highly preferring contactless payment solutions for speeding financial transactions. The demand for a quick, safe, and clean payment method, particularly in the post-pandemic era, has accelerated the use of contactless technology. This has transformed the checkout experience in both physical and digital stores, making faster and more convenient transactions.
Increasing Government Initiatives for Adoption of Mobile Wallet and Payment Solutions: Mobile wallet and payment solutions are critical for consumers and businesses, as they increase accessibility, improve security, reduce transactional costs, and make payments faster. Increasing technological advancements, rising consumer demand for two-factor authentication (2FA) security, and other factors are boosting the demand for mobile wallets and payment solutions. This also encourages government bodies to take initiatives to support the adoption of mobile wallets and payment solutions in order to secure their business from financial risks. For instance, the DigiDhan Mission, established under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India, aims to promote a cashless economy and provide a smooth digital payment experience for all citizens.
Expansion of E-Commerce Industry: The rise in the e-commerce business and consumers’ preference for online shopping has increased the adoption of mobile wallets and payment solutions for making quick payments. In May 2024, The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce revealed that the estimate of the US retail e-commerce sales for the first quarter of 2024 was US$ 289.2 billion due to the seasonal variation adjustments and not price change. This represents a 2.1% (±0.7%) rise from the fourth quarter of 2023. Retail sales in the first quarter of 2024 stood at US$ 1,820.0 billion, with a fall of 0.1 % (±0.4%) from the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, e-commerce expanded by 8.6% (±1.1%) compared with the first quarter of 2023. Total retail sales were increased by 1.5% (±0.5%). In the first quarter of 2024, e-commerce sales made up 15.9% of the total sales.

Emergence of Real-Time Payments in Developing Nations: Efficient and secure ways to make transactions are increasing the demand for real-time payments (RTPs). These technologies have made payments more convenient, quick, and secure, as well as eliminating the need for cash or cheques. The acceptance of RTPs has enabled rapid payment between businesses and organizations. Users can initiate payments at a minimal or no cost using a mobile number or QR code, eliminating the necessity for bank account details. Countries, including Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, and Sweden, are increasingly demanding mobile wallets and payment solutions to conduct transactions in real-time. The usage of mobile devices has been one of the most significant advances in real-time payment systems. With the growth of smartphones and mobile payments, consumers can easily send and receive payments on the go, eliminating the need for a computer or physical card reader.
