Oil and gas contract activity remained subdued in 2020, with the industry recording a decrease in the number of contracts and disclosed contract value from 6,971 contracts with $151.06bn in 2019 to 5,014 contracts and $94.29bn in 2020. The significant drop in contracts and contract value was primarily attributed to the slowdown in the industry following the crude oil prices and Covid-19 pandemic during 2020, which saw a reduction in capital expenditure by the producing companies and slower activity.
