Report summary
The fall in crude prices and slashing of upstream investment plans has put renewed focus on non-OPEC decline rates. High oil prices and a wave of upstream capital investment between 2011 and 2014 saw decline rates nearly halve in 2013 and 2014. It will take time for the momentum in supply that has been built-up to slow, but under our current projections, decline rates will revert towards normal levels in 2017. Most, but not all regions, follow this trend.
