Description

Subsea Technologies for Oil and Gas Offshore Exploration and Production - Thematic Research

Summary

High capital costs are a major deterrent for deepwater oil and gas projects. Exploration and production (E&P) in deepwater areas slowed down in 2020 following the COVID-induced drop in energy demand. However, a resurgence in overall global demand amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict has propelled prices to over $100 in 2022. With regions such as the Europe Union looking to phase out Russian imports, the global crude oil supply will remain tight in the next two to three years and will support prices. This could encourage oil and gas producers to invest in subsea developments over this timeframe.

Moreover, the subsea industry has benefitted from process improvements that led to a dip in the project costs. Subsea equipment manufacturers have been working to reduce the cost of machinery installed on the seabed for deepwater production. Their efforts in streamlining material procurement, optimizing subsea architecture, and simplifying equipment installation have brought about an overall reduction in the complexity of subsea systems.

Besides, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors have managed to lower the project execution cycle time to further improve the viability of subsea developments. In one instance, TechnipFMC, a leading subsea contractor, cut the cycle time at Shell’s Kaikias oilfield in the US Gulf of Mexico by about six months using advanced equipment designs and an integrated project execution approach.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
