Delivering value up and downstream

COVID-19 and the oil price collapse
You’ve probably seen the headlines: On March 9, oil prices experienced one of the most significant price drops since 1991. Why did this happen? The severe collapse is a direct result of failed negotiations between OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and Russia. With COVID-19 causing an economic slowdown, OPEC recommended an oil production cut to accommodate reduced demand. Successful companies have weathered many of these downcycles and have often emerged stronger. View our strategies based on lessons from prior downturns.
COVID-19: What it means for the energy industry
The energy sector has already felt the impacts of the coronavirus. The outbreak has contributed to a dampened demand for oil, resulting in plummeting oil prices and production declines, especially in the wake of the Russia-OPEC price war. The COVID-19 crisis raises a number of unique challenges.
Oil and gas companies can attract investors. Here’s the who, what, and how
To continue attracting capital in an increasingly competitive market, oil and gas companies need to become more enticing to value investors, whose priorities are clear. A new strategy should be considered — one that hinges on prioritizing reliable shareholder returns through effective capital deployment and reliable operational performance in any oil price environment to position them for continued profitability. This is a big change for the industry and may mean changing a corporate mindset and culture and possibly acquiring new skills altogether.

Year-end 2019
After a spike in 2018, oil and gas activity retreated in 2019. Total deal value declined 31% year-over-year to $208.2 billion, and the total deal volume dropped 25% year-over-year to 138 deals - the lowest volume since 2009. The decrease in deal making was largely attributed to increased skepticism from investors, and limitations on access to capital.
