This IDC Energy Insights Perspective covers IDC Energy Insights' question-and-answer session with the audience during our publicly presented Worldwide Oil and Gas Industry 2010 Top 10 Predictions Webinar. The top 10 predictions leverage IDC Energy Insights' research and forecasts to provide an outlook of upcoming trends as a guide for what is on the horizon; however, it' s inevitable that these outlooks serve as a launching pad for a variety of discussions on the industry. Oil and gas companies, oilfield service companies, professional service firms, and independent software vendors (ISVs) submitted questions, and they serve as a good indicator of what is top of mind for these firms.
