A New Tool to Move Finance Out of Fossil Fuels
The Global Oil & Gas Exit List (GOGEL) is the most comprehensive publicly available database on the oil & gas industry. GOGEL 2023 covers 1,622 companies active in the upstream, midstream or gas-fired power sector. Companies listed on GOGEL account for 95% of global oil and gas production. It is tailored to the needs of financial institutions looking to phase out fossil fuels. GOGEL's forward-looking data on companies’ expansion plans makes it easy to assess the credibility of transition strategies and enables its users to take the right steps to become responsible climate actors.
For investors
We provide a special version of GOGEL with common financial identifiers (ISIN, Bloomberg Ticker, etc.) on request. We also offer financial institutions in-depth webinars on the list and are happy to answer questions or provide policy advice.
Data Highlight: Unconventionals
GOGEL provides exceptional company level data for 6 unconventional production categories including fracking, tar sands, Arctic, ultra deepwater, extra heavy oil and coalbed methane. It even quantifies unconventional oil & gas expansion.
GOGEL 2024 will be out mid-November
“This is the database we have all been waiting for. It is public, it is meticulously researched and it is an essential tool to help us end the age of fossil fuels.”
Tom Kruse, Rockefeller Brothers Fund
