In response to the dramatic collapse in oil price, Wood Mackenzie has reduced its total global upstream capital expenditure (CAPEX) in 2015 and 2016 by US$153 billion. This represents a cut of 13%, from US$1.2 trillion to US$1 trillion, relative to our previous dataset. The deepest cuts come in the US Lower 48, but all regions are affected. More reductions are expected as companies continue to report upstream budgets.
