Summary

This report forecasts deepwater expenditure to total $137 billion (bn) between
2016 and 2020. This represents a 35% decline compared to previous edition of
the deepwater forecast issued March 2015.

The prolonged low oil price has impacted the deepwater market, with operators
considering alternative development options and delaying the sanctioning of new
projects, whilst trying to protect returns on their existing investments in the sector.
However, projects already under construction are unlikely to be affected. The
largest proportion (38%) of the total spend will be attributed to drilling and
completion. Subsea production equipment, SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers
and flowlines), pipelines and trunklines will represent 34% of total expenditure
combined; whilst floating production units will account for 28% of spend over
the forecast period.

Expenditure will predominantly be driven by Africa and the Americas, which will
account for a combined 87% of total deepwater Capex. Though all regions will
be adversely affected by low oil prices, projects that were sanctioned before
the oil price downturn will help sustain activity levels in these regions and in
addition we expect to see the development of East African gas basins
towards the end of the forecast period.

Record levels of backlog established over the 2011-2014 period have
somewhat insulated subsea hardware manufacturers from the oil price
downturn. However, this report expects a further decline in subsea
hardware installations in 2017 and 2018 with backlog falling rapidly
and new orders trickling in at very low levels. We expect that the
subsea OEM’s will feel the full impact of the downturn in 2016/2017
and will face strong competition for the lower volume of projects. In
total, it is forecast that the number of deepwater wells to be drilled
over the next five years will decline by 3% compared to the preceding
five-year period.

From a supply-chain perspective, this point in the cycle is an
opportunity to bring through new approaches and technology
for deepwater developments to improve efficiency and lower
cost. In the long run, we remain of the view that deepwater
will be a cost competitive source of world-class hydrocarbon
reserves.

14th edition of the World Deepwater Market Forecast covers all
key commercial themes relevant to players across the value
chain in the deepwater sector:

- Key drivers – discussion of factors affecting deepwater activity,
including: sustained low oil & gas prices; deepwater production
to offset declining production from onshore and shallow water basins;
E&P spend of international operators; and Petrobras’ activity in Brazil.
- Supply chain – detailing the financing of deepwater developments
and local content issues. Includes analysis of contracting strategies
(e.g. frame agreements), the deepwater drilling rig fleet and day
rates, key players and capabilities of each sector within the
deepwater market (drilling, FPS and subsea hardware).
- Procurement – factors affecting the decisions facing FPS
operators, whether to lease or own vessels and details of
major leasing contractors.
- Regional forecasts – forecast Capex within each region,
including examples of notable projects and operators within
the region and countries with most activity.
- Component forecasts – drilling and completion (subsea and
surface completed wells), subsea production hardware,
SURF, pipelines and trunklines and floating production.
- List of deepwater prospects – includes information on all
identified prospects coming onstream from 2016 to 2020
by operator, location, water depth, number of trees, status
category and onstream year.
