The upstream oil and gas spending in Norway is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2017-2019. However, the trend is expected to be reversed during 2019-2024 (a decline in CAGR - around 2% during the same period).
Major factors driving the market are the increasing development of new oilfields and the lower breakeven prices. The divestment of Government funds from the upstream oil and gas sector can act as a restraining factor for the market growth.
-- Upstream companies see drilling in the Lofoten islands as crucial for
maintaining petroleum production level in the coming years. Around 1-3
billion barrel of crude oil is estimated to be present beneath the
island. Moreover, around two-third of Norway's undiscovered resources,
especially gas, is estimated to lie in the Barents Sea. As a result,
exploration activities in the region are expected to shift toward the
Barents Sea.
-- The discovery of new small oilfields provides an opportunity for
upstream oil & gas market in Norway
-- In 2019, the investment in the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry
(excluding exploration) is expected to increase by 13%, to more than NOK
140 billion. A number of small projects received FIDs in 2017, as well
as 2018, and are expected to come online in 2019 and 2020.
Key Market Trends
Increasing Development of New Oilfields
-- The major oilfields in the country are reaching their maturity, and as a
result, since 2016, the oil production of Norway has declined
significantly. During 2016-2018, the oil production of the country had
declined by about 8%, and is expected to further decline by another 4.7%
during 2018-2019.
-- However, in the recent years, the country made a number of major oil
discoveries. In order to offset the decline in production from matured
oilfields, the upstream oil and gas companies are investing heavily in
developing these new oilfields.
-- Hence, during the forecast period, the investments in new oilfields are
expected to be the biggest and the most dominating driver for the Norway
upstream oil and gas market.
-- As a result of these investments, from 2020, the oil production of
Norway is expected to reverse the trend and register significant growth.
Some of the major fields that are expected to attract investments during
the forecast period are the Johan Sverdrup oilfield, Martin Linge, Aasta
Hansteen gas field and Johan Carstberg.
