Summary
Since pioneering the original deepwater report in 1997, Douglas-Westwood has tracked and analysed the deepwater market extensively, developing unparalleled knowledge and experience in the sector.
The outlook for the deepwater business is clearly one of significant long-term opportunity. As deepwater projects become increasingly capital-intensive there is an economic challenge for E&P companies and a significant potential prize for international oilfield service and equipment vendors.
The new 12th edition forecasts a strong growth in capital expenditure of 90%, compared to the previous five-year period, with $232 billion to be spent over the next five years. Latin America is likely to experience substantial growth, exceeding Africa’s deepwater expenditure towards the middle of the forecast period.
The World Deepwater Market Forecast 2012-2016 contains:
- Unique and proprietary data – historic and forecast deepwater capital expenditure breakdowns for Africa, Asia, Australasia, Eastern Europe & the FSU, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Western Europe.
- Regional forecasts – detailed by main component: drilling & completion - subsea completed wells, surface completed wells, subsea production hardware, SURF, pipeline systems and floating production systems by type.
- Field Development – from exploration through to concept selection, completion and production.
- Supply chain – detailing the financing of deepwater developments, contractors, equipment and installations.
