  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.
