World Floating Production Market Forecast 2016-2020

Published Date : 28th July 2016

Summary

This new World Floating Production Market Report 2016-2020 forecasts that Capex for FPS
units will total $58 billion (bn) over the period to 2020. This is substantially lower than expected
last year, as result of plummeting oil prices over the second half of the year, but the value of
the order book remains near record levels. There remains a wave of projects, ordered over the
previous cycle, that are yet to be installed. Many of these have seen installation dates slip,
with delivery on time (and budget) clearly still an issue for the industry. The looming challenge
for the supply chain, and particularly shipyards, is the lack of new orders to refill the backlog
after these units come onstream.

2015 was a weak year for orders in the FPS industry with only four vessel contracts being
awarded with a total value of $3bn. There have been no orders to date in 2016. It appears we
have reached the bottom of the down cycle and operators are adjusting to the low oil price and
will begin to order again in the second half of the year. This expects a low order value of $2.6bn
this year, from a higher number of orders than in 2015. Operators are pushing both cost
reduction measures and complete re-engineering of projects. Two key examples are the FPSS
for the Mad Dog Phase 2 project (which should be ordered this year) and the Johan Castberg
FPSO. Both fields had development plans that were uneconomic when the oil price was $110
but due to cost decreases and revised development plans are now economic at a low price –
showing that operators are willing to adjust and work at the new price norm.

There was limited commissioning in 2015 and as a result the value of units under construction
declined only $3bn, from $54bn to $51bn in the last year. In 2016 we have already seen the
start-up of high-Capex vessels such as the Goliat FPSO in Norway, while vessels such as
Turritella for the Stones field in North America and the FPSS and FPSO for the Ichthys field in
Australia are due to start in the coming years.

The current downturn represents an opportunity for the industry to move towards a more
standardised approach to FPS engineering, which has been debated for many years, without
significant progress. We expect a leaner, more efficient FPS industry to emerge from this downturn.

 The report is now offered quarterly, allowing to quickly highlight changes in the market and
highlight how different companies are reacting to the current oil price environment.
