Oilfield Services Newsletter | November 2017 Oilfield Services Update OFS Newsletter | November 2017 Introduction Energy & Industrials Team As we wrap up 2017, we aim to provide a recap of the year behind us, and insights into the Duane Donner trends developing in the oilfield. We will discuss a number of the developments in the energy [email protected] markets over the last 12 months, and ultimately how they impact service companies as we Matt Carrington head into the new year.

Since hitting a low price of $42.53 in Williston 16 June, WTI has risen 36% to $57.69 in November. The rise has perpetuated a strong Permian 112 Duane Donner drilling environment for U.S. domestic shale Managing Partner, plays. Rig counts have risen commensurately in Marcellus 2 2017 – topping 958 at the peak, a 137% Founders Advisors Haynesville 12 increase from 2016 lows. The majority of the drilling activity continues to be in low cost Eagle Ford 18 basins, as E&P operators prepare for a “lower for longer” oil price energy environment.

The consumption; higher inventories indicate weaker consumption, Permian basin currently has 2,416 DUCs, which represents and lower inventories indicate stronger consumption. Despite roughly 30% of the total DUC inventory, and 76% of the growth inventories starting at an all time high in 2017, strong global in 2017. Overall, DUC counts have risen over 40% since the demand for the commodity has eaten into inventories in the beginning of 2017. Operators are waiting for higher energy back half of the year. Part of this trend can be explained by prices to rationalize spending the capital required to work production disruptions caused by hurricanes in the United through this inventory. States, but industry professionals largely point to strong YoY consumption growth out of China and India. 2 Source: Rystad Energy, EIA Oilfield Services Newsletter | November 2017 The Look Ahead… Wall Street Journal Price Targets $110 ING Bank $100 J.P. Morgan $90 RBC $80 Standard Chartered $70 UBS $60 Societe Generale $50 Citigroup $40 Deutsche Bank $30 Commerzbank $20 Morgan Stanley $10 BNP Paribas $0 Barclays Bank of America Merrill Lynch In October, a group of investment banks surveyed by WSJ raised their price target for 2018 WTI for the first time in six months. Consensus among the group is that production cuts by OPEC are finally starting to have an impact on the market. Saudi Arabia and Russia, two of the top three oil producers in the world, have been vocal about continuing to make production cuts into the future. With OPEC & non-OPEC compliance at 120% (the highest it has been in nearly 3 years), and strong demand coming out of emerging markets, the global energy market may find equilibrium in 2018.

The dip in rig count is due to the 15 – 20 week lag in rig reduced breakeven prices are giving operators more count to oil prices; the market is still working off sub $45 oil confidence to put money to work.

This should continue to create a strong pricing environment for oilfield service companies over the next 12-24 months. 3 Oilfield Services Newsletter | November 2017 The Look Ahead Continued… Supply – Global Producers of Oil Emerging Markets’ Consumption Driving Demand Global Supply 2015 2016 2017E 2018E 3.0% Projections Non-OPEC Supply 2.5% United States 13.0 13.5% 12.5 12.9% 13.0 13.4% 14.1 14.3% North America (less: US) 7.0 7.2% 6.9 7.1% 7.1 7.3% 7.1 7.2% 2.0% Europe 3.5 3.6% 3.5 3.6% 3.5 3.6% 3.6 3.6% Asia Oceania 0.5 0.5% 0.4 0.4% 0.4 0.4% 0.4 0.4% 1.5% Former Soviet Union* 14.0 14.5% 14.2 14.6% 14.4 14.8% 14.4 14.6% Europe 0.1 0.1% 0.1 0.1% 0.1 0.1% 0.1 0.1% 1.0% China 4.3 4.5% 4.0 4.1% 3.9 4.0% 3.8 3.8% YoY YoY Growth Rate Other Asia 3.6 3.7% 3.6 3.7% 3.5 3.6% 3.4 3.4% 0.5% South Americas 4.6 4.8% 4.5 4.6% 4.6 4.7% 4.8 4.9% Middle East 1.3 1.3% 1.3 1.3% 1.2 1.2% 1.2 1.2% 0.0% Africa 1.8 1.9% 1.7 1.8% 1.7 1.7% 1.8 1.8% 2015 2016 2017E 2018E 2019E Other Supply 4.5 4.7% 4.6 4.7% 4.7 4.8% 4.8 4.9% Oil Demand Growth, OECD Total Non-OPEC Supply 58.2 60.2% 57.3 59.1% 58.1 59.7% 59.5 60.2% Oil Demand Growth, Non-OECD Total OPEC 38.4 39.8% 39.6 40.8% 39.2 40.3% 39.3 39.7% Total Oil Demand Growth Total Supply 96.6 100.0% 97.0 100.0% 97.3 100.0% 98.9 100.0% Global supply of oil is expected to rise ~1.5% in 2018.
