With exploration and production firms expected to face continued pressure to enhance operational efficiency and maximise resources in a way that is both cost-effective and environmentally sound, oilfield service providers will need to adapt accordingly to maintain competitiveness and profitability as the pandemic subsides. Companies in the segment that are able to provide innovative solutions at affordable prices will be best placed to expand their market share and capture new business in the years to come.
