Deepwater GoM: 5 things to look for in 2018
Report summary
In the last three years, deepwater Gulf of Mexico has been punched in the gut and clawed its way back to being competitive. Some have lost interest and moved on while others have held fast, battened down the hatches and set a new standard for operational efficiency. As costs settle at a bottom and operators sharpen to near-term peak efficiency in 2018, deepwater GoM will remain conservative, calm and collected. This year will be very forward looking, putting pieces in place for longer term resurgence in 2019 and beyond.
