Wood Mackenzie is a global energy, metals and mining research and consultancy group with an international reputation for supplying comprehensive data, written analysis and consultancy advice. In 2015, the company was acquired by Verisk Analytics, an American data analytics and risk assessment firm, in a deal valued at $2.8 billion.〔Kent, Sarah. ("Verisk Analytics to Buy Wood Mackenzie for $2.8 Billion; Acquisition of energy consultancy boosts U.S. company’s international exposure" ), ''The Wall Street Journal'', March 10, 2015. Accessed July 30, 2015.〕 It is based in Edinburgh Scotland, though it has over 25 offices worldwide. The company's energy business was founded in 1973, when they started reviewing the North Sea oilfields. Since 2007, Wood Mackenzie has acquired coal specialists Hill & Associates in the US and Barlow Jonker in Australia; and Brook Hunt, the UK-based metals analysts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=11212024 )〕 ==History== The company was sold in 1987 to County Natwest by Trustee Savings Bank. In a 2003 report the company claimed that 25 of the largest oil companies had "destroyed value in 50 of the 80 countries they have invested in over the past six years". In a report from the company in 2005 it was discovered that Bangladesh will fail to meet natural gas demands by 2023.〔 In 2007 a report from the company on the Alberta oil sands said "higher royalties will have the biggest impact on high-cost, low-margin projects" this sparked what has been described as a "furious debate" within the oil industry. In 2012, Hellman & Friedman acquired Wood Mackenzie from Charterhouse Capital Partners.〔(Private equity deals: July 5, 2012 )〕 Detailed History:〔http://public.woodmac.com/public/about/our-history〕 1973: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wood Mackenzie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
