Webinar | Shale service costs in 2020: what is the market telling us?

• 27 January 2020

Last year, costs fell by double-digit percentages for several major spend categories. However, today’s cost environment is considerably different from twelve months ago. Will the deflationary period stick around, or should we expect a change in 2020? During the webinar, our analysts covered topics such as: • Which cost categories fell the most last year, and what was the influence on overall well costs? • E&P budgets will reset in January and, in our view, reverse the rig count freefall. But should we expect costs to turn around as a result? • What could force service costs higher, and when could we expect the market to change? • If costs increase, which components are most at risk and what’s the economic impact?

• 24 November 2020

We are glad to invite you to join us at Wood Mackenzie's 'Russia, Caspian and Black Sea – a competitive upstream future?' webinar that will take place on Tuesday, 24 November 2020. Our regional experts will discuss how the crises of 2020 will shape the upstream outlook in 2021 and beyond. Presentations will focus on three key topics across three regions: cost competitiveness, advantaged exploration and fiscal attractiveness: Black Sea - how will Turkey's giant gas discovery transform the state of play? Caspian - what needs to change to avoid an investment ‘cliff edge’? Russia - how resilient a producer is Russia and where will growth come from? A 30-minute presentation will be followed by a panel discussion: Embrace the change or fear the transition? How are the regions – and their upstream investors - addressing the global themes discussed at our recent energy summits? What are the strategies for attracting capital, improving sustainability and maintaining growth and resilient returns? A Q&A session to respond to client questions. This webinar is part of a series of global upstream webinars looking at key issues facing the oil and gas sector as it looks beyond a tumultuous 2020. Please follow the link to see all past and upcoming events in the series. The event will be held in English. Please register to confirm your place.

US Gulf of Mexico hit by oil price collapse – how will the region adapt to the new environment?

• 21 May 2020

Webinar | Metals and mining slump: How bad could it get and what gets hit hardest?

• 27 May 2020

With the collapse in demand and supply resulting from the lockdown measures, no clear pathway to recovery and much talk about a "new way of working" its no surprise that prices for most mined commodities are slumping. Whilst the circumstances that have created this situation are unprecedented as far as the duress the industry is under, we have been here before. the early 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, the GFC, 2015 the list goes on. Whilst cost structures have declined due to strong dollar and weak energy prices this is not enough to prevent margins collapsing and companies hemorrhaging cash, and the situation could get worse. With the duress that businesses will be experiencing and the need to tap debt markets to fund operations this represents an opportunity for credit and distressed debt investors. Please join us for our webinar How much demand destruction will occur and how long will it take the sector to recover ? Lessons from past cycles: In a low price environment when does cost support kick in ? Where are margins headed ? What commodities and regions are worth a second look from a credit/distress perspective ?
