In a post financial crisis world, the second-quarter earnings season further documented the adverse impact of three consecutive quarters of weak global crude demand. While revenues and net earnings were expected to plunge on the heels of a 52% decrease in crude prices versus year-ago levels, we now observe that decreasing cost structures have become paramount in the oil and gas industry.
