Oil and Gas Current Trends and Implications Supply Changes Demand Drivers Regulation Restructuring Operations Technology Major Trends Crude Oil Natural Gas OPEC still influences prices through its capability for large production volumes World continues to be awash in natural gas Shale wells boosted US production but current low prices are causing significant drops in the rig count Major demand growth worldwide is expected to come from the Non-OECD nations despite growth slowdowns Natural gas demand will grow driving need for pipeline transportation Countries continue to diversify Oil & Gas supplies as a way to mitigate supply risk Environmental restrictions and drilling oversight continue to grow following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico spill Stricter regulations governing fracking and other unconventional extraction techniques are expected to continue in the U.S Regulatory approvals and local opposition could create a lag that can thwart midstream market development for natural gas Companies are reassessing their portfolio strategies and refocusing on core businesses Potential for movement away from the MLP structure Continued M&A activity in the market as companies in all subsectors seek to protect longer term viability Oil companies continue to cut costs via labor reductions to realize greater operating efficiencies Midstream processors continue to benefit from throughput of liquids-rich shale in the US Low oil prices are forcing O&G companies to reconsider investment plans Technological advancements have supported production of unconventional resources Companies must adopt a range of strategies to address poor project performance, including integrated project delivery, advanced analytics, and a shift toward the digital oilfield
