  How the worst oil price crash in history changed the upstream industry

  • 24 6月 2020

  The oil price crash has wiped US$1.6 trillion off our valuation of the global upstream industry. This captures the impact of our downgraded long-term Brent price assumption – now US$50/bbl (2020 terms), previously US$60/bbl – and much more. Which regions and players have been hit hardest? What measures have been taken to survive?
