The biggest risks in oil & gas acquisitions? Check the IT department
It’s true: Big, unpleasant surprises can lurk in the IT department. When making an acquisition, you may need to stand up new IT systems quickly – or continue to pay for IT services under costly transition services agreements. In the extreme, shortcomings can prevent timely payments to stakeholders, sparking litigation.
Supply Shortage in the Making
Analysis suggests that the U.S. could face a supply squeeze in the short to mid-term that will likely drive up commodity prices. As global economies gradually emerge from the Covid-19-induced contraction, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates an increase in global oil demand of 6% in 2021. The supply side, on the other hand, shows a different trend. TGS analysis indicates a dramatic decrease in rig count, well shut-ins, high decline rates in unconventional wells and other challenges associated with shale production point to lower U.S. oil output in the near-term.

Whitepaper: Why Are Some Deepwater Plays Still Attractive?
A sustainable future for the industry in deepwater is further investment in proven sweet spots and a search for similar plays. The two prime characteristics of these sweet spots are exceptional reservoirs at unexceptional depths. Expensive deepwater wells must add as many barrels as possible. The industry is making progress developing deepwater finds. Projects sanctioned since 2012, and green fields now approaching FID, will together recover over 30 billion barrels of oil. These fields need just US$42/barrel on average to achieve a 10% return. Better reservoirs break even at lower prices.
