2016 will be another challenging year for the European upstream sector as companies continue to adjust to survive and adapt to the low oil and gas prices. It will be a year where budgets are hit hard, all discretionary investment is closely scrutinised, and operators take big decisions about assets and portfolios. The industry has been through this cycle before and we can expect it to look quite different at the end of the year. We have highlighted the following key events to look for in the region this year.
