Global Oil Cost Curves and Pre-FID Breakevens
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Breakeven costs are assigned to every element of our global liquids supply view allowing a comprehensive view of the global cost of supply. Key analysis includes: 1) How the cost of supply will change through to 2035. 2) The importance future drilling in US Lower 48 and pre-FID projects. 3) Where each sub-play and pre-FID conventional project sits on the cost curve in ten years time. 4) How have offshore breakevens changed since before the price crash.
Why buy this report?
