Lower 48 oil and gas breakeven analysis and company benchmarking
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
We have updated our comprehensive breakeven analysis of more than 1,500 oil & gas assets in Wood Mackenzie's Lower 48 coverage. As a key source of relatively flexible global supply, changes in the Lower 48 cost curve have significant effects on supply recovery scenarios. Based off our proprietary Global Economic Model ('GEM'), this detailed data set and analysis goes across plays and operators to benchmark performance, demonstrate exposure to low prices and provide a look at what the future may hold.
