Wood Mackenzie Lens

  • Licensing is per named seat and per dataset, so sharing a login across an analyst team breaches the contract and licensing the team properly multiplies the fee rather than adding to it.
  • The content is analyst-modelled rather than operator-reported, so asset economics and reserve figures are estimates and can differ materially from what the owner of the asset publishes.
  • Modules are split by commodity and by region, and a question that spans gas and power, or Americas and EMEA, can require two or three separate subscriptions to answer.
  • Content refresh follows the research publication calendar, so individual asset records can lag a transaction or a project decision by a quarter or more, which matters on live deals.
  • Ownership passed from Verisk to Veritas Capital in 2023, so buyers signing multi-year terms are contracting with a private equity holding whose plans for pricing and packaging are not public.
