Excellent Midyear Forecast presentation this morning by Oil & Gas Journal. Well worth the time it takes to listen to the archived version (https://goo.gl/bMAu5f, 1hr, 30min) for those interested in detail. The Q&A session toward the end is especially good (and includes a discussion of Arctic outlook). Slides available here if you want a quick overview.
