Overview

Oil & Gas Field Equipment covers drilling, completion, production, and oilfield machinery and equipment. At ~$12B it is consolidated around oilfield-equipment majors (SLB, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, NOV) serving exploration and production operators.

Demand is highly cyclical with oil and gas prices and drilling activity, and shipments declined over 2017–22 amid the energy-capex downcycle and the 2020 oil crash. It is capital- and technology-intensive, consolidated, and navigating the long-term energy transition while serving near-term shale and global E&P demand.
