Oil slump pushing industry into 'sharp recession'
Firms to slash spending in North America, Europe, Asia: Evercore
New York
THE oil price plunge will force energy companies to slash capital spending in North America, Europe and Asia in 2015, investment bank Evercore ISI said. But investment will continue to rise in Africa and the Middle East as producers in those areas seek to boost long-term output in the flooded global oil market.
Evercore estimated on Tuesday that oil companies would cut spending on exploration and production globally this year by 10-15 per cent, and by 25-30 per cent in North America.
