Massive Cancellation of Projects
Operational shutdown of some high-cost oil
Major capital projects cancelled or delayed
More Vulnerable Refineries
Low/negative margins will accelerate expected shutdowns
No CAPEX/financing available for quality/ conversion upgrades or greenfield projects
Asset Portfolio Restructuring
Many asset classes become less attractive for oil companies
Active transaction markets with many distressed assets becoming available on the market
Key Trends in the Oil & Gas Sector
COVID-19 will accelerate the Oil & Gas industry’s transformation journey with oversupply and low prices expected to last for several months

Oil production costs favor OPEC’s ability to increase market share, but low oil prices can challenge national budgets and political stability
Supply Side – Production Costs
Much of OPEC’s generally very large reserves volumes can be produced at very low costs
But, current oil prices are too low for petroleum based economies to support their national social and economic programs. This places their political stability at risk

Already contracted crude needs to be re-sold
Storage restrictions for crude, intermediate and final products
Lower revenues because of volume drop

Potential ecosystem for future oil companies
19
Governments/municipalities pressure for low CO2 emissions
EU commitment to align emergency funding with “green targets”
So, oil demand was expected to peak and fall in the coming decades anyway
With high oil prices, it used to be attractive to invest in E&P projects
But oil projects now have lower returns, and higher uncertainty than before
Renewables have lower technical risks and now potentially lower commercial risk and higher return rates than oil
The crisis will severely impact the oil industry, accelerating its energy transition, already underway, and altering its climate change approach
Industry Structure Impact – Energy Transition
Fossil fuels may be more competitive
Cheap oil would change customer feeling about “going greener”
Power generation prices already lower, partly due to lower fossil fuel prices
Higher renewable subsidies will be required to reach customer breakeven
Governments would give priority to economy recovery support after recession (i.e. reducing EV rebates)
US & Canada would support oil industry from collapse
Energy Transition would accelerate

Oil industry players have no choice but to accelerate the transformation of their business models
Key Insights for Oil Executives
Key Drivers Strategic Implications
Long Term Sustainability
1
Sustainable business models must incorporate actions to reduce the carbon footprint requiring a shift away from hydrocarbons
Investments in renewables, electrification, energy management, carbon capture and emissions offsetting will all play a key role in future strategies
3
Innovation and cost efficiency will be essential capabilities for survival
Digitalization and automation opportunities should be leveraged across the whole value chain
Operational Effiiciency
Capital Allocation 2 Shareholders will demand increasing discipline in the use of capital Project portfolios must be rebalanced and actively managed to
provide more flexibility and resilience to low price scenarios
Source: Arthur D. Little
21
Mexico will need to prepare for an increasingly challenging industry and a tougher economic environment
Conclusions – Insights
In the near term we expect production to show a declining trend
Non-conventional resources at risk of becoming stranded resources
Deep water projects likely to be delayed and we expect to see more relinquishments or renegotiation of commitments
Increasing financial stress leading to higher cost of capital
Many E&P projects will not reach breakeven/hurdle rates
Natural gas segment will be challenged by US low prices
Many contracts may need to be renegotiated, but it is important to ensure the long term viability of the service industry
CSIEE contracts will be difficult to implement because of the limited potential upside for private parties
