Oil majors such as BP, Chevron and ConocoPhillips are already reviewing their capital expenditure programmes in line with the new oil price environment.

“Ultimately, the massive price slump will put the brakes on supply growth,” said Commerzbank in a recent note. “As a result, Brent should cost $80 per barrel again by the end of next year.”
