FPSO Market Drivers and Opportunities

Mounting Number of Offshore Exploration and Production Activities Driving Demand for FPSO

In the last few decades, offshore oil and gas exploration and production have intensified substantially. Further, the findings of new oil and gas reserves are expanding exponentially across the globe. Increasing presence of major oil and gas extraction firms, such as Petrobras, in offshore exploration and production activities. In Petrobras, most of the oil reserves are in offshore fields, which has directed the drilling activities. In addition, according to the IEA, by 2040, annual capital expenses for offshore oil and gas production activities in Brazil would total US$ 60 billion. Moreover, the mounting number of exploitations of marginal oil reserves in remote offshore areas, along with the flexibility of FPSOs to operate without the support of a fixed structure, boosts market growth.

Rising Demand for Natural Gas and Crude Oil – An Opportunity in FPSO Market

The increasing requirement for crude oil and natural gas is constantly increasing , which is one of the major reason behind the growth of the FPSO market. The demand for oil is projected to witness upsurge trend during 2022-2025 in the OECD countries, as per the OPEC. However, the demand in non-OECD countries is anticipated to increase by 22.5 mb/day during the forecast period to 2045. The OPEC report identified that natural gas is anticipated to be the fastest-growing fossil fuel and would be the second-largest contributor to the energy mix, which is projected to hold a ~25% share in 2045. In the coming years, Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness high demand for natural gas owing to the rising use of natural gas in diverse industrial sectors. Thus, the expanding demand for natural gas and crude oil globally is anticipated to offer worthwhile opportunities for the FPSO market growth in coming years.
