How Will the Drilling Slowdown Affect the U.S. Industrial Landscape? - an Industrial Info News Alert
(firmenpresse) - SUGAR LAND, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 01/26/15 -- Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- The recent announcements by companies Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI) and Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) that they will be laying off employees in the near future came as little surprise to those keeping an eye on oil prices, declining rig counts, and sizable cuts in the capital budgets of global oil producers.
The majority of these layoffs will occur in the oilfields as drilling slows. However, many producers have hedges in place, which continue to make production worthwhile in all but the most expensive drilling areas, helping protect companies from the drastic drop in oil price for several months to come.
The slowed drilling programs will delay some midstream and downstream infrastructure construction such as pipelines and storage capacity, but most larger production plans remain in place, although these may occur on a slower schedule.
For those seeking a better understanding of how the changing prices of oil and gas are affecting industrial project activity, Industrial Info''s on January 29 in Houston is a good place to start.
