Can't imagine new drilling with prices per barrel so low. For your sake, I hope so.

Perhaps anticipated lifting of regulatory burdens could make some projects profitable now? I have no clue about the industry.

Price doesn't affect construction as much as you would think. There are at least 3 new deep water rigs in process already. One should be completed here in the next 3 months. It's the improvement projects that are more telling of the industries immediate future.

I have a few clients that have started investing into new projects. so that once the price gets right they start pumping immediately.

Ex oilfield here. While exploration isn't done in a vacuum, the price of oil doesn't necessarily drive the exploration side. They have to drill in a certain time frame to retain a lease regardless of the current price. Granted, if the price is so low they don't have any capital then it's a problem.

A lot of times they will drill and cap off and come back later to complete, produce, or set a platform.
