A guest blog by Matt Cook was featured on the Zoedale website:
“The biggest effect is surely to be felt in the US shale plays, where the price crash has led to heavy job losses and reductions in rig fleets. Thus DW expect the number of onshore wells spudded in the US in 2015 to be 42% lower than 2014.”
