Q4 2018 results preview
Report summary
A sharp retreat in oil prices brought oil and gas companies back down to earth in Q4. The resulting equity sell-off will have punctured any bullish sentiment built up during a decent third quarter. Even so, Brent still averaged well above companies’ cash flow breakevens and we expect another quarter of production growth. But lower prices will reinforce the commitment to capital discipline. We take a look at what this means for the Majors and US Independents.
