Mean Regression
Energy Sector Cyclical Downturn
“We do believe that the North American rig count has now reached bottom, but that we will only see a
slow increase in drilling and completion activity in the second half of the year, which will not make any
material dent in the massive overcapacity that has been created...” —Schlumberger
Energy Sector Downturn
A Variant Perception
“Core believes that worldwide crude oil supply and demand markets are
well on their way to a balance at year-end, 2015…Core sees the V-
shape recovery, led by higher commodity prices and followed by
worldwide drilling activities, starting to increase in early 2016.” —
