Rivalry can arise from competing producers seeking capital, service capacity, acreage, pipeline access and buyers. Supplier power is relevant where drilling rigs, completion crews, equipment, water handling or technical services are constrained. Buyer power can depend on market access, contract terms and the number of credible outlets for produced hydrocarbons. New entrants face geological, capital, regulatory and infrastructure barriers, while substitutes include alternative energy sources and efficiency measures that can meet energy needs in different ways.
