Title: Oil and Gas Capital Discipline and Key Trends to Watch
Duration: 1 Hour
The oil and gas industry experienced solid financial performance in 2018, but exploration and production companies remain focused on capital discipline and returns. Low oil prices matched with heightened volatility and investor demands for improved returns are among the issues driving measured capex and M&A activity in 2019.
We will explore cash flow priorities among integrated majors and E&P players and the ripple effect experienced in the oilfield services sector.
