Oil& gas will play a key role in the energy transition
Outlook
The process of adapting to the energy transition will be complex and time consuming.
Oil & gas is a key contributor in all IEA's scenarios for future energy consumption.
Key challenges:
- Oil & gas reservoirs depletes naturally as they are produced
- The "easy" barrels are produced first and are gone
Key implications:
- We need new discoveries and field developments
- Maximizing production from existing assets
- Maintaining existing infrastructure
Gas includes unabated and natural gas with CCUS
Global energy supply according to IEA (EJ)
Markets tightening in Brazil and the North Sea

Petrobras is the largest client and its fleet of flotels (UMS) will increase from 5 to at least 6 next year based on the recent and announced tenders. Petrobras' current technical requirement effectively limits supply to newer and traditional DP3 semi-submersibles
- Remaining available supply is stacked and/ or less competitive units
*Excluding vessels on contract in other regions. 2022: semis following Petrobras technical qualifications
North Sea market: High 2022 activity. Positive indicators
400
- The NCS will continue to be attractive driven by cost competitiveness, low emissions, and long-term oriented regulators
- Norwegian activity is increasing after the introduction of the tax package; More than 35 developments underway (primarily subsea)
- Long-term view positive as illustrated by the recent APA round in Norway, where more than 50 licenses were awarded to more than 20 operators. Stable regulatory regime.
- Electrification and Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) may add activity going forward
North Sea # Fields in production (source: Spinergie)
Brazil: Increasing activity and focus on high end vessels
- 20 new FPSOs announced & planned to be installed over the next years
- Some of existing fleet to be phased out but large potential in lifeextension projects
- New FPSOs have additional topside weight & equipment (up to 60% to current FPSOs) and less space to carry out maintenance
- Brazilian authorities are increasingly auditing asset integrity management of all FPSO operators in Brazil
- Corrosive environment requiring continuous maintenance
