Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
This report is the result of an extensive survey drawn from ICD Research's exclusive panel of leading global oil and gas industry executives; it provides data and analysis on buyer expenditure, procurement, and developments within the global oil and gas industry. The report includes key topics such as global oil and gas industry buyer expenditure and procurement behaviors and strategies, and identifies the threats and opportunities within the global oil and gas industry, economic outlook trends, and business confidence within global oil and gas industry executives. Most secondary research reports are based on general industry drivers and do not understand the industry executives' attitude and changing behaviors, creating a gap in presenting the business outlook of the industry; in an effort to bridge this gap, ICD Research created this primary research-based report by gathering the opinions of multiple stakeholders in the value-chain of the global oil and gas industry.
