2016 BDO GLOBAL ENERGY MIDDLE MARKET MONITOR Are Mid-Market Energy Companies in over Their Heads?

摘要

It has been two years since oil prices began their precipitous fall in mid-2014, ending the energy sector's most recent boom and kicking off a protracted bust. With prices declining as much as 70 percent since June 2014, many of the middle market independent producers that entered the game at its height are now facing significant losses and a very real threat to their longevity in a down market. Prices have begun to rebound, reaching the $50 per barrel mark in June 2016, but we still have a long way to go before the energy industry achieves healthy growth once again.
