Oil slump pushing industry into 'sharp recession'
Firms to slash spending in North America, Europe, Asia: Evercore

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.
