- Devon Energy headquarters in Oklahoma City. Image: Devon Energy The global oil and gas industry has slashed at least $31 billion from investment budgets after crude’s epic price crash this month, and more cuts are likely to come.Producers are quickly switching gears to survive a flood of oil coming into the market as Saudi Arabia and Russia open the spigots to fight for global market share. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on demand.Shale explorers in the U.S. and oilsands producers in Canada – which were already in dire straits before the price collapse – have been the quickest to announce belt-tightening efforts.But giants like Saudi Arabian Oil Co., France’s Total SA and Russia’s Lukoil PJSC have also joined in, while Exxon Mobil Corporation and BP pl c have hinted that reductions in capital expenditures are likely to come. In Asia, Latin America and other Middle East countries, where most oil companies are state-run, it’s not yet so clear how producers will adapt to cope with the downturn.
