Globally, the oil and gas industry is experiencing continued price volatility, significant technology advancements, regulatory change and the opening of new exploration areas and markets. Companies have expanded internationally through production sharing contracts, mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The industry is also facing higher expenditure requirements in order to comply with developing environmental and safety standards.

The continuing impacts of economic upheaval, fluctuating oil prices, global mergers and a converging industry ensure that our industry will continue to face one of its most challenging times.
