M3 - Asian OSJSubsea 2015
Mike Meade from M3 Marine Group gave a presentation at the Subsea Conference in Singapore on March 18-19, 2015 about country-specific finance challenges and opportunities in the subsea sector. He noted that exploration and production spending is down, resulting in decreased demand for subsea services in 2015-2016. This coupled with oversupply in the industry leaves some vessel owners exposed, especially those with more commoditized tonnage like ROV support vessels. However, consolidation in the industry could lead to improved market discipline. Meade also discussed how demand remains in Mexico and Brazil but projects there face delays and increased costs. The oil price shock and high industry costs have caused oil companies to cut budgets significantly.

Setting the scene (2)…… Demand growth still apparent in Mexico and Brazil… but… Neither place is easy to work, Brazil especially so Project lead times have increased, caused by delays introduced by the oil price ‘shock’ It is estimated we will not see activity levels reach 2014 levels until at least 2017 Big Oil starting running out of cash BEFORE the decline in the oil price

Setting the scene…… It’s not just about the oil price…. • The drop in the oil price is compounded by a massive increase in costs across the E&P industry • The O&G industry has ‘lunacy’ levels of costs associated with it • We have all witnessed the knee jerk reaction as big oil gets its red pen out
