Executive summary
- Wood Mackenzie is here to support
-
Why is an upstream investment ‘cliff edge’ approaching?
- 1. The upstream megaphase era is ending
- Next steps at the region’s key upstream projects are being downsized
- 2. FID-ready greenfield options are lacking
- 3. Upstream growth projects require the Majors, but will struggle to attract them
-
What needs to change? Five proposals to boost the investment outlook
- 1. Lower costs: Doing projects differently to ‘fix’ the pre-share economics
- 2. Higher investor share: Governments accepting a lower share to secure economic multipliers
- 3. Lower carbon: Linking decarbonisation efforts and upstream priorities
- 4. Lower risks: Unblocking gas monetisation options to unlock value
- 5. Lower reliance on Majors: Strengthening regional cooperation to unlock opportunities
- Case study: Kashagan will be a regional bellwether – for upstream progress or pain
