Revenues were up 33 per cent in 2017 from the previous year, reaching $140.1 billion. Cash from operations climbed to $38.6 billion, up 70 per cent from 2016. But the recovery was uneven, with the top five largest and integrated operators capturing 92 per cent of total net income, and almost 80 per cent of total revenues. “At current oil prices many companies can make money—not a lot of money—but they can make money,” says Michael McKerracher, National Industry Leader, Energy, KPMG in Canada. “But the truly integrated companies can be quite profitable. They have a better system of pipelines in place so market access issues are somewhat minimized and they have the benefit of downstream revenue.” Natural gas is a different story, says McKerracher. While operators with strong condensate or liquids production had a profitable 2017, those with mostly dry gas production faced difficulties, with prices turning negative for brief periods last summer. “Gas producers are just holding on,” he notes, adding that those with no choice but to market through the AECO system are facing the greatest challenges. McKerracher says market volatility is a new reality facing the industry as pricing swings become more extreme and price cycles become shorter as operators bring on new supplies more quickly. With prices uncertain, operators focused on lowering costs per barrel of oil equivalent produced in 2017, like in 2016. “Operators have driven lots of costs out of the system,” McKerracher says, adding this focus will continue through 2018, as “costs are controllable even if price isn’t.” The industry has seen a period of rapid change in the last two years as the widespread 7 POWERED BY BROUGHT TO YOU BY KPMG Michael McKerracher, National Industry Leader, Energy KPMG “MANY COMPANIES ARE SAYING THEY KNOW THEIR RESERVES AND NOW THEY NEED TO FIND THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO GET THEM OUT OF THE GROUND.” — Michael McKerracher, National Industry Leader, Energy KPMG application of technologies has opened “Technology has a huge role to play,” he money.
