The main contradiction between the oil service and the oil companies has undergone fundamental changes in the period. The great change is that the contradiction between the ever-increasing interest demand of the oil service and the reduction of service costs by the oil enterprises' compression costs , which has risen as the main contradiction between the two. Oil companies and oil services are bounded as the contract of the two businesses, in the form of performance as party A and party B. All along, although the contradiction between the the two is unavoidable, both parties at least maintain the due restraint. In the past two years, with the oil and gas companies being on the block of oil and gas, the conflicts between the oil companies and oil services are escalating .
As we all know, the downturn of oil market has forced oil companies have opted to reduce capital expenditures in order to maintain the company's business. While oil services have successfully played a stumbling block role when oil companies want to cut costs. Subsequently, the oil companies proposed a strategic integration, which shocked the entire oil services sector. After being stunned, the oil service company is awake to realize that if they do not make changes in the near future , they may not even have the power to fight back . Being "fish" or being "compilation" will be the final situation.
