Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Focus on Ultra-Deepwater and High-Impact Discoveries:
The offshore drilling market is moving to deepwater and ultra-deepwater, where very large commercially viable fields, called "elephant fields", are available. The shallow water fields have been developed. The only place left for large scale capital investments in very remote and hostile waters are in Brazil's pre-salt area, the Guyana-Suriname basin, and in portions of the Gulf of Mexico. These fields have a greater cumulative field capital expenditure (CAPEX), and lower production costs over the decades as the field is productive, while delivering high value and high volume of hydrocarbons. This has resulted in a high demand for the most technically advanced drilling units, such as sixth and seventh generation drillships and high-powered semi-submersibles. A need for high-end subsea and well architecture means that technological complexity is paramount, which drives a need for specialist services and very high global day rates for high specification drilling units.
- Energy Security and Geopolitical Prioritization:
Global instability, such as potential interruptions in energy supply and international geopolitical conflict, has driven national energy policies away from environmental concerns and toward energy security and resilience agendas that prioritize securing long-term, reliable, domestic, or friendly-nation supplies of oil and gas to reduce dependence on politically or environmentally sensitive energy-exporting countries. Relatively stable offshore resources (mainly in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and emerging plays offshore Africa) are often considered calculated national resources and utilized to hedge global portfolio risk. This geopolitical consideration often drives SOEs and major offshore asset operators to formulate early FIDs on large offshore projects. These reserves provide a high degree of long-term contracting visibility (and, to a lesser extent in the short to medium term, visibility on transition challenges) to drillers, enabling strong evaluations and sustained long-term investment into exploration and development asset acquisition.
- Decarbonization and the Integration of CCS:
The offshore drilling industry is dealing with the energy transition through improving decarbonisation and diversifying into other business lines such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In order to maintain their social license to operate and comply with regulatory emissions reduction targets, many oil and gas companies are electrifying their offshore drilling rigs through a direct connection to the shore or an offshore wind farm as an alternative to high-emission diesel. More importantly, depleted offshore gas reservoirs represent a favorable, geologically stable environment for safe storage of captured CO2, in which the use of offshore infrastructure, and skills and collaboration, could be broadened to redirect part of an oil and gas portfolio to directly support global decarbonization efforts. Focusing on reducing emissions from their existing activities, and developing CCS infrastructure, the offshore sector can position itself not just as a customary energy supplier, but also as an enabler of industrial-scale abatement.
