HOW CAN PRODUCERS ACHIEVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND MARGIN PRESERVATION WHILE OIL AND GAS PRICES ARE LOW?
● Will we begin to see buyouts of fields by larger players over time if prices stay low over the medium term, as a means of portfolio management?
● Does outsourcing and a reduction of non-core activity expenses make sense to provide relief in operational costs?
● Have we reached the point where more technology will no longer improve upon marginal savings in production costs?
● Will the Ministry of Finance and CNH be ready to process cost recovery when production ramps up?
