Challenges within the market
The scarcity of skilled labor has boosted wages worldwide. Projects that were economically viable a year ago may no longer be attractive, as the costs of building upstream oil and gas facilities may continue to rise over and above inflation for the foreseeable future. Premium steels are no longer readily available in some markets. In others, rig rates have shot up drastically in response to the growing number of well programs.
In the current climate of extreme market volatility and economic uncertainty, can your company afford not to have C&SS critical information and insight regarding supply chain and project costs?
Understanding costs, spending and supply bottlenecks and opportunities dramatically affects an organization’s ability to execute its E&P plan and manage operational needs. IHS Costs and Strategic Sourcing services deliver analysis and knowledge of the wide range of required capital and operating categories in the oil and gas and power business landscape to enable clients to respond quickly and effectively to changes in the market.
