Global Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

The Global Oil and Gas Exploration and Production industry has gone through major turbulence over the five years to 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying socioeconomic restrictions significantly disrupted macroeconomic activity, leading to tremendous volatility within global energy markets. Industry revenue fell to multi-decade lows in 2020 before reaching all-time highs in 2022 as production and prices of hydrocarbons were completely unstable. Industry revenue has increased at a CAGR of 9.6% to $5.3 trillion over the five years to 2023, despite a decline of 19.8% in 2023 alone. During this time, the United States has emerged as a key player within the global oil and gas industry by transitioning from being a net hydrocarbon importer to the world's largest producer. However, the growing threat the industry is facing from the surge in electric cars usage and a push toward more sustainable future are the key challenges for the industry looking forward.

Operators in the Global Oil and Gas Exploration and Production industry explore for, develop and operate oil and gas fields. This industry includes the production of crude petroleum, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shale and oil sands, the production of natural gas, sulfur recovery from natural gas and the recovery of hydrocarbon liquids.
