  • Oil & Gas Sector Accelerates Capex Amid $100 Crude Prices
    May 20, 2026, 12:39 PM EDT. Oil and gas companies are ramping up capital expenditure (capex) following a decade of restraint, driven by crude oil prices hovering near $100 per barrel. The industry's previous discipline phase, triggered by the 2014 oil crash, is shifting as geopolitical tensions reduce supply, notably through the Strait of Hormuz crisis, cutting global transit capacity by about 20 million barrels per day. Producers like Diamondback Energy and ConocoPhillips have increased spending, benefiting oilfield services firms including Valaris, ProFrac Holding, and Helix Energy Solutions. The sector's rising capex parallels Big Tech's AI-driven investment boom, with technology firms set to spend over $680 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026-matching oil and gas's total global capital spend. This revitalized spending cycle signals substantial growth potential for upstream and service industry participants.
