US$210bn of new spend in firing line as players target cost cuts

• 02 4月 2020

The oil price crash has hit the upstream sector hard. Deep cuts are being made across the board, but it will have a dramatic impact on the industry’s project pipeline. Global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie believes almost all pre-FID projects will be deferred. Of the 50+ projects we identified with potential to go ahead this year, only 10 have a chance of proceeding, but all are at risk.

Webinar: What oil supply is at risk of shut in?

• 09 4月 2020

During the last downturn in 2015/16 supply was relatively unaffected. Even the highest cost wedges kept producing; the associated shut-in costs were deemed too high. But prices only dipped below US$45/bbl for a year, and below US$35/bbl for one quarter. Storage levels were of less concern. There is no precedent for the scale of potential shut-ins for today’s asset classes, if oil prices remain low for a prolonged period. The industry’s ability to keep higher-cost barrels flowing is being severely tested. This downturn, there could be a significant impact on currently producing fields as well as future supply.

Webinar | Global exploration before and after Covid-19

• 28 5月 2020

Our annual survey of the global exploration industry, conducted largely before coronavirus hit and the oil price crashed, showed signs of cautious optimism. Despite the threat posed by the energy transition, explorers were looking forward to another 30 years of exploration. There was, however, a keen awareness of the challenges ahead – the fight to remain investible, the need to increase capital efficiency and the opportunities and risks presented by deepwater exploration. Join us for a webinar discussing the results on the 2020 survey both in the context of the pre-COVID-19 view and in light of the new world we live in. We’ll cover which exploration companies stood out from the pack in 2019, the changing focus of explorers and the role of exploration in today’s energy companies.
