2009 is Transition Year for Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
June 9, 2009
Period of Sustained Cost Escalation for Upstream O&G Facilities Ends | www.rigzone.com
Oil & Gas Companies are Acquiring Properties & Companies opportunistically taking advantage of today's Low Commodity Prices which are expected to continue through 2009 into first half of 2010. Upstream E&P Companies that were highly financially leveraged during the High Commodity Price Period have been most severely impacted by the precipitous decline of commodity prices and today's more capital constrained financial markets. 2009 is a Transition Year for Oil & Gas E&P as well funded Integrated Major Oil companies defer traditional organic Drilling for Reserves, as they wait for Service Company and Oilfield Suppliers prices to reconcile with anticipated $70-$90 per barrel oil prices, as they decline from recent highs associated with $130-$150 oil commodity prices.
