What is biz-es forecast for oilcompanies? How about SDRL?

i would also appreciate a smart persons POV

shit for a while, at least 2-4 years until supply matches falling demand. i work at a very large oil company and we're preparing for prices in the $35-45/bbl range for the next 3 years

"As a result, Papa said he thinks oil prices will rise in six to 18 months and reach “a stable equilibrium price in the range of $60 to $75 per barrel, what I call a ‘Goldilocks’ price.” He said $90/bbl to $100/bbl is unlikely—while a long-term price below $45/bbl is equally unlikely.

“You start getting 20 million cubic feet per day out of there and similar finding and development costs to the Marcellus and Utica, and you’ll have three large supply pools with roughly the same F&D costs. At a gas price of $2.50 or if you’re lucky, $3, your IRR on individual wells is going to be quite attractive. This is going to back up all the gas in the Rockies and in Canada.”

Papa said he thinks sub-$2 will fade in the rearview mirror and a more reasonable band of $2.50 to $3 will be seen in 2017.

“Longer-term is where you can get kind of depressed,” he said. “The U.S. has a sufficient gas supply for 50 years. And I think that LNG exports in the time frame of 2018 to 2020, of about 6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) out of a total production of 80 Bcf/d by that time, are not going to be enough to fix the problem.”
Papa said we’ll be in a similar oversupply situation for NGL as well."

How very fucked would I be if I ended up with a petroleum engineering degree ~3 years from now?

>>1283783
a lot could happen in ~3 years, but at this point you'd be pretty fucked. my class of 2012 had like 115 people and all but 1 or 2 got jobs. this year there are 250ish and less than half have jobs. if you maintain a 3.8 or higher (all classes, not just major classes) and get relevant internships, you'll be ahead of the pack.

Exxon, DRS, and CP say you or your company is retarded.

>>1283852
Exxon can say whatever it wants to the public, but internally I can guarantee you they're trying to prepare for long-term low prices. Exxon is a peer to my company.

So, when would be the time to buy? Only strictly oil-related i have is the seadrill, would it be bad to get some more? I honestly think it has seen the bottom, and is headed to 15-20$, year from now.. whadya think?

I own: NE, RIG, SPN, SRAQU

SDRL is fucked IMHO. RIG, NE, DO, and ESV are where it's at offshore
