Why do Oil&Gas companies have budget constraints in 2026?

I have heard from many companies who offer market research and strategy management services to major O&G companies that their projects are getting cancelled or on pause.

O&G companies cite budget constraints. They are saying the cause is the Ormuz Strait situation. I don't really understand why as O&G companies have never been this profitable in terms of raw $ or even in terms of revenue. Can someone explain?
