Upstream
Upstream refers to the exploration and production segment of the oil and gas industry, including activities to locate, drill, and extract crude oil and natural gas.
For example, companies like ExxonMobil engage in upstream operations by exploring fields, drilling wells, and producing hydrocarbons. Upstream is the first stage of the energy value chain.
Upstream performance affects supply, pricing, and investment in downstream refining and trading. It involves geological risk, capital expenditure, and operational complexity.
Understanding upstream activities is crucial for traders, analysts, and investors to assess production potential, market supply dynamics, and risk exposure in the energy sector.
