Companies like Total, Royal Dutch Shell, and Exxon Mobil have lowered up to 20 percent of their spending. This has resulted in the cutting of thousands of jobs. Further price reductions will be needed in years to come. This will hurt companies' long-term production growth. The North American hydraulic fracturing of tight oil reservoirs has drastically changed supply of oil. Fracking has made unpredictable market conditions more flexible. Shale oil and gases’ perspective around the globe could be just as strong. Even if the shale revolution seems difficult to imitate, ushering modern methodologies in order to develop fields will help maintain supply and reduce the increasing prices.
Meanwhile, the Keystone XL decision results in intense challenges. Although the decision does not mean less oil sands overall, it complicates oil sands entry to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Venezuela and other countries that ship heavy oil to the U.S. can benefit from the Keystone XL rejection as heavy crude will continue to be absorbed by U.S. refineries in the lack of obtainment to Canadian crude oil.
As companies conform to a veering scene, the oil and gas sector struggles to rebound from the weak market. Oil prices rose instantly after the Paris attacks in November 2015. Revengeful French airstrikes on Islamic State strongholds in Syria caused concern of possible disturbance of oil turnout from the territory. Prices since then have been interchanging slightly up and down as traders weighed the foreign affairs risk of product halts with the surplus situation.
Various local pump companies service the oil and gas industry in one way or another. Unfortunately, this market will continuously decline globally. There are still opportunities, but fewer of them. Small companies are most likely going to integrate. Large, financially stable oil and gas companies will take over smaller ones.
