Global oil and gas production companies have gone through significant turbulence for most of the period. The pandemic and its accompanying lockdowns severely disrupted producers as revenue fell double digits and the industry's largest market, the transportation sector, was limited. This was quickly reversed as the economy opened and supply outpaced demand, causing prices to skyrocket. High prices, accompanied by swelling production, led to surging revenue. While prices eventually came back down late in the period, they remained high. Overall revenue has pushed up at a CAGR of 6.0% to $4.2 trillion through the end of 2024, including a slight 1.9% uptick in 2024 alone. Profit also surged as purchase costs came down. Emerging markets in BRIC nations, Southeast Asia and Africa continue to drive growth because of rapid industrialization and population increases, heightening the need for crude oil, natural gas and related downstream products. Even so, the gradual shift toward renewable energy poses challenges for producers, as many countries have implemented regulations and incentives to promote clean energy use. Geopolitical tensions and the uncertainties stemming from the global pandemic underscore the importance of diversifying supply sources to ensure energy security. Overall, industry revenue is set to push down at a CAGR of 3.6% to $3.5 trillion through the end of 2029. The bulk of this period will be highlighted by more efforts in oil and gas exploration and production in emerging markets, potentially transforming these regions into major global producers. Even so, the excess supply of oil and gas, combined with the push for sustainability, will drive prices down, leading to revenue contractions.

Oil and gas producers have experienced high volatility in recent years. The pandemic halted the economy and ripped away steady growth as restrictions limited the need for oil and gas. The conflict in Ukraine added to the uncertainty, as the reliance on Russian oil and gas was distributed between domestic producers and other sources. As the economy recovered, the need for oil and gas shot up quicker than supply could match, causing prices to surge and generating substantial returns. Nonetheless, this growth was short-lived as prices fell in 2023 and 2024, causing revenue to dip, despite massive upticks in production. Overall, revenue has swelled at a CAGR of 10.7% over the five years, reaching $509.4 billion in 2025, including a 3.9% uptick in 2025 alone. Exports of crude oil and natural gas from the United States had long been banned with few exceptions, but legislation passed in 2016 overturned this rule and dramatically changed the industry. Exports pushed up dramatically as producers sought to capitalize on opportunities abroad. They have continued to climb in recent years, becoming essential to producers' success. Sanctions placed on Russian energy have bolstered export growth, with the Netherlands becoming the largest US energy export market late over the current period. Innovation in drilling technology will drive the performance of producers forward, but environmental concerns and increasing pressure to convert to renewables will limit success. Fossil fuel prices will weaken steadily but remain high, providing solid profit for producers. The trade-weighted index falling over the outlook period will benefit exports and reduce import penetration. European countries continuing to reduce their reliance on Russian energy may provide US producers with new opportunities. Nonetheless, imports and exports to and from Mexico and Canada may be impacted if reflationary energy tariffs are instated. Overall, revenue is set to dip at a CAGR of 2.3% to $452.5 billion through the end of 2030.

The Crude Petroleum Extraction industry in Europe can be volatile. Its performance largely hinges on global oil demand and prices, which in turn are impacted by geopolitical conditions and global economic activity. Most of Europe relies on imports for its crude oil and refined fuels, often from geopolitically unstable regions. Only Russia can count itself among the world’s largest oil producers, while Norway and the UK are the main beneficiaries of oil reserves in the North Sea. The industry’s performance is heavily weighted towards oil production activities in these countries, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spurring a shift in Europe’s oil landscape. Revenue is forecast to decline at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to €236.1 billion over the five years through 2024. Revenue dropped during the pandemic, as tumbling oil prices were compounded by reduced global demand for oil. This was followed by a strong recovery in the following years, as a post-pandemic rebound in demand for oil led to a surge in prices. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a further spike in prices in the following year, bolstering returns on investment. The lure of sky-high margins purred increased exploration activity in 2022, while Russia was able to redirect most of its oil exports to China and India in response to Western sanctions. Europe’s oil landscape continues to shift as nations seek to wean themselves off of Russian fossil fuels, with Norway looking like the main beneficiary of the change in dynamics. Revenue is forecast to drop by 21.7% in 2024. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.4% to reach €306.7 billion. As geopolitical tensions persist, the potential for significant fluctuation in prices remains. However, as Europe continues to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels, there's an expectation of easing oil prices. By 2027, the EU aims to be completely free from Russian fossil fuels – a move that would open up opportunities for other oil producing nations, while placing pressure on Russia to continue to find alternative buyers of its oil. Ambitious decarbonisation targets threaten to contribute to a downward trend in oil consumption, weighing on long-term growth prospects.
