Report summary
With oil revenue collapsing, all Middle East countries will need to tighten their belts. Budgets will be reassessed and big projects such as North Field Expansion in Qatar and Ghasha in the UAE will be under real scrutiny, as will higher cost drilling and EOR activities. But relative to the rest of the world, the Middle East should come out of the crisis in a stronger position. It will increase its share of global oil production. And it will set itself up for the longer-term with an increased share of global upstream investment.
