Against the odds: Why Singapore is still upbeat on the volatile oil and gas industry

Hang in there, oil and gas players.

Singapore remains unfazed in the face of extreme oil price volatility in recent months. According to Second Minister for Trade and Industry S Iswaran, the long term outlook for the industry remains positive despite concerns over the impact on the oil and gas industry of short term global uncertainties and volatile oil prices.

Speaking at the 20th International Oil and Gas Industry Conference and Exhibition (OSEA 2014) yesterday, Iswaran said that strong economic fundamentals in the region will continue to drive energy demand and expenditure on exploration and production activities.

“This region alone accounts for nearly a quarter of global E&P expenditure, which is expected to hit a record US$723 billion in 2014. The continued growth in E&P activities in the region is expected to support the continued growth of our Marine & Offshore industry, in turn creating more opportunities for Singaporeans to engage in high-value research and engineering activities,” he said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
