Offshore production has remained a rare bright spot as investments are longer cycle, unlike shale.

"If we see prices sustain below $50 a barrel, I think it could create a little bit of a lull for some of the new final investment decisions," Saligram said on the sidelines of the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.
