Oil and Gas Industry Lacks Balance in Market Prices in 2024

By Shubhendra Anand , 22 March, 2024

The natural gas production sector is facing several challenges due to fluctuating market prices in previous years, which will continue in 2024 as well. Surveys conducted in the oil and gas industry suggest that the very sector suffers from such situations due to increased supplies from the Marcellus basins and gas from the Permian region. Therefore, the natural gas sector expenditure will be lowered daily in 2024 as the market prices fail to create a balance.

According to results from the surveys conducted, drillers in the oil and gas industries face various challenges. This is due to the low prices of oil commodities, whereas the supply from the oil basins is increasing. Experts suggest that the oversupply of oil and gas is due to the El Nino effect and lowering demand for liquified natural gas (LNG). The energy crisis has been severe due to the oversupply of commodities and the lower prices of the products. As per the data reports, current gas prices have decreased in the last three weeks. The gas prices for March 2024 are expected to be the lowest compared to other previous months. However, new technologies have been developed with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the drilling process in the oil and gas industry in 2024.

Another survey suggests the industry anticipates uplifting from the current trend to an expected loss by 2025. The same deficit can increase up to 2028 due to new liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities, demand for power generation, and other things. These things indicate the growth of the oil and gas industry in the upcoming years.
