DW in the NewsIt has been a busy week, with references in the Financial Times and Drilling Contractor, among numerous stories related to reports:

Matt Cook was quoted in the Financial Times:

“That growth is the result of decisions taken years ago, however. Matt Cook of Douglas-Westwood, a consultancy, says that because offshore projects take years to develop, the impact of falling oil prices is felt only after a lag.”

The quotes in the FT were also featured on a number of other sides:

“The few positive things we have seen is the result of decisions taken before the price drop. It is very possible that the worst part is still to come, assesses Matt Cook from the consultancy firm Douglas-Westwood.”

Both Andrew Meyers and Matt Cook were featured on the Drilling Contractor website and in the May/June issue of the magazine. One article was about the offshore oil industry, the other onshore drilling :

“Even at the end of 2015, there had been some small hope that there would be a slight recovery in oil prices by mid-2016, lifting onshore drilling activities somewhat higher later in the year.”

This week’s DW Monday was popular and featured on a number of sites:
