The report is built using the data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GBI Research’s team of industry experts.

The global offshore drilling market experienced a slowdown in 2009 following the hectic activity witnessed in the previous years. The growth of the offshore drilling market is driven by high demand and the prices of crude oil and natural gas. The increase in the demand for oil and natural gas due to high economic growth during the period from 2004 to 2008 was responsible for the continuous increase of crude oil and natural gas prices until mid 2008. The demand for oil and gas and the prevalent high prices stimulated increased activity in the offshore drilling market. However, since the economic slowdown and the collapse of the oil and gas prices from the record levels of 2008, many of the offshore projects have become uneconomical and have since been delayed or cancelled. Also, offshore drilling expenditure is directly dependent on the exploration and production capital spending of the international oil companies, national oil companies and independent producers. The tight credit situation and an uncertain outlook for the oil and gas global demand have affected the capital expenditure plans of the exploration and production companies. These factors have had a negative effect on the offshore drilling expenditure in 2009. However, the future outlook for offshore drilling is encouraging and the expenditure is expected to steadily increase to 2015.

Global Offshore Drilling Expenditure is Expected to Grow to More Than $490 Billion in the Period from 2009 to 2015

The global offshore drilling expenditure has increased in recent years especially during the period from 2004 to 2008. According to GBI Research’s estimates, approximately $350 billion was spent on offshore drilling from 2000 to 2008. The regions accounting for the major share of the spending were the US Gulf of Mexico (USGOM), West Africa, Brazil and Asia Pacific. The offshore drilling expenditure peaked in 2007- 2008.

The global drilling expenditure is forecast to grow at an annual average growth rate of about 6.6% in the forecast period of 2009 to 2015. The depletion of the reserves in onshore and shallow waters and the advancement in seismic and drilling technologies are driving the increased drilling activities in deepwater offshore regions. This trend is most visible in the offshore areas of the USGOM, Brazil and West Africa. The discovery of deep water and subsalt reserves is expected to drive investments in the sector.

As a result of the increasing demand and the decline of the reserves of crude oil and natural gas, the prices of crude oil and natural gas are expected to continue to rise. However, factors such as decreases in service costs as the offshore regions mature, and advances in technology leading to increased efficiency and a reduction in extraction costs, will combine to reduce the total investments. Nonetheless, the positive factors leading to increases in investments are likely to outweigh the negative factors, thereby significantly increasing the offshore drilling expenditure in the future.
