Oilfield Services Capacity: Hitting the Limits‪?‬ ARC ENERGY IDEAS

    • Investing

In the depths of the COVID pandemic, oilfield activity ground to a halt and service companies were forced to shrink.  While oilfield activity levels have rebounded significantly, they are still below the pre-pandemic peaks. 
This week, Steve Glanville, President and Chief Operating Officer of STEP Energy Services and Shawn Martens, Co-Founder, VP of Operations at IronSight join the podcast.
Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie ask:  How much inflation are you seeing now?  Is there a labour shortage for oil and gas workers? If North American E&P companies decided to ramp-up their oil and gas production, would oilfield services be a constraint to growth?  Are oilfield service companies likely to invest in new equipment?  Are E&P companies early adopters or laggards when it comes to digital technology?
