*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
We predict the cycle will turn in 2017, and confidence will start to return to the E&P sector, bringing the crushing two year investment slump to a close. E&P spend will rise by 3%, and at the forefront of the revival will be US tight oil. Costs will continue to fall, though only marginally. But 2017 will demonstrate how much more efficient the E&P industry has become. We predict double the number of FIDs compared to 2016, and an increase in profitability for explorers and developers.
