Devon seals WPX merger
- 28 September 2020
Speaking after the merger of Devon Energy and WPX Energy was announced this morning, Alex Beeker, principal analyst, corporate upstream, at Wood Mackenzie, said: “Tight oil consolidation has been underway for years, but extreme market volatility has slowed the process considerably. WTI has essentially hovered around US$40/bbl since June, with the stability likely closing the bid-ask spread. “We’ve expected Devon to make a move for some time. With US$1.5 billion in cash on its balance sheet (albeit earmarked for debt reduction), Devon is on a relatively strong financial footing. But Devon has been shrinking fast since its disposal program started in earnest about two years ago. The company’s net production is down 40% since 2018.”

Collapsing demand sets the terms in the OPEC+ battle for market share
- 09 April 2020
Since OPEC+’s failure to agree on production restraint on 5-6 March, the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic have become far clearer, sparking a crisis in the oil market as prices fell and supply ramped up. The problem for these producers is the scale of the fall in oil demand, especially during April and forecast for Q2 2020. No matter the size of the varying forecasts, they all point to a challenging market that puts pressure on storage space and prices.

African upstream capex ‘may be slashed by 33%’
- 31 March 2020
Faced with the double whammy of the oil price crash and the coronavirus pandemic, Africa’s upstream sector looks set to slash capital spending by around 33% in 2020. Similar cuts to operating costs are also targeted by producers to stay cash-flow neutral. Unlike the 2015-16 price crash, this time nothing is sacrosanct: some operators will even wield the axe on committed spend, as well as the discretionary expenditure.

Deeper OPEC+ supply cuts sends supportive signal to markets
- 06 December 2019
After a marathon meeting, running late into the night of 5 December, the OPEC+ group has agreed to continue its current production restraint of 1.2 million barrels per day (b/d), and will add a further 0.5 million b/d of supply cuts through to March 2020.
News Release
OPEC+ set to make its choice
- 05 December 2019
OPEC+ gathers today and tomorrow to decide if the group should roll over its production restraint agreement or consider deeper cuts. The current agreement to reduce output by 1.2 million b/d runs to end March 2020. Ann-Louise Hittle, vice president, Macro Oils, said: “The idea of deeper cuts has been broached, but we consider that less likely to reach full agreement than a rollover of the standing agreement. The need for production restraint is clear. Slower US production growth is not enough to offset the ongoing imbalance between global supply and demand.”
