Breakeven analysis: an update
- 70% of production from future developments is now commercial at US$60/bbl in 2025
- Deep/ultra-deepwater projects are hit hardest, although cost deflation is evident
- Since 2009 the advent of tight oil has had the biggest impact on the cost curve
- If prices remain around $50/bbl then most major conventional projects are at risk of deferral or cancellation
