Floating Production Systems Expenditure To Total USD 81 Billion From 2015 to 2019

摘要

A continuing trend toward newbuilds and conversions compared to redeployments as well as projects that have already been sanctioned will ensure that spending in the floating production system (FPS) sector will remain high over the 2015-2019 period, forecasts Douglas-Westwoods World Floating Production Market Forecast 2015-2019. The report expects USD 81 billion to be spent on FPS capital expenditure (Capex)—an increase of 73% over the preceding 5-year period. A total of 110 floating production units are forecast to be installed—a 41% increase. Though the FPS market will still grow, it is significantly less than expected due to the collapse in oil prices, and installations in 2018 will decline significantly as a result. The dip in the orders expected in 2015 is anticipated to last well into 2016 and reduce the number of installations in 2018.
