New report: impact of COVID-19 on oil and gas regional markets

ResearchAndMarkets reports: The spread of this virus has forced many oil and gas companies to either stop or slow down their physical operations, which has impacted production in both upstream and downstream operations.

Perhaps the biggest and most significant impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the downstream oil market has been the price crash of crude oil within a short time. Consider this, on 1 January 2020, the price of a barrel of crude oil was being sold for US$67.05 on the NASDAQ exchange in New York. By 15 March 2020, this price had crashed down to US$30/bbl. Oil majors have taken a major hit – BP's market cap today is just 51% of what it was at the start of 2020.

Players in the oil and gas sectors are struggling with declining demand, ensuring employee safety and business stability, oil price war, and need to focus on building a flexible business model that can lead to long-term resilience as the world comes out of the coronavirus crisis.
