The offshore sector has emerged as the key new source of supply
"
This comeback looks set to make the 2020s Deepwater's decade," says Espen Erlingsen, senior partner at consultancy Rystad Energy with companies pouring almost \$104bn into the space this year, according to estimates from Rystad, up by almost half since 2020 and the highest level since 2016. By 2027, that figure will rise to nearly \$140bn. Financial times 18.11.2024
"
The industry has a decline rate of 4-5 per cent per year, rising to 7-8 per cent for deepwater projects, meaning significant new exploration is needed just to keep production flat" Patrick Pouyanné, CEO TotalEnergies
"
12% growth in Africa's deepwater segment has always played a key role in terms of ultradeep water adding significant discovered volumes. The contribution of this segment in Africa's hydrocarbon production mix was between 20- 25% last decade and is expected to increase between 35-40% by 2035. Rystad Energy, November 2024

The offshore sector has emerged as the key new source of supply
Towards the end of this decade, deepwater will be the key, if not the only, source of non-Opec oil growth
The Stabroek Guyana discovery has spurred new exploration by oil majors and some national oil companies in frontiers from Brazil to Angola.
Last month, France's TotalEnergies greenlit its \$10.5bn GranMorgu project in Suriname, which borders Guyana. Off the coast of Namibia, Portugal's Galp, along with Shell and Total, have also made huge discoveries"

By 2040, Europe is expected to account for more than 70% of global floating wind installations
Europe will play a crucial role in this growth, relying heavily on floating wind to meet ambitious national targets and make the most of its abundant offshore resources. By 2040, the continent is expected to account for more than 70% of global floating wind installations.
While the floating wind sector has seen a recent rise in project announcements, it currently grapples with supply chain constraints which could hinder the advancement in the short term.
