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.
