Report summary
Project sanctions jumped to 49 in 2018, back to pre-2014 levels and a 40% increase on 2017. Not only was activity up but the average project size almost doubled to 680 million boe. With 33.5 billion boe of reserves and US$185 billion of investment sanctioned, confidence is back in the upstream sector. 2019 is expected to deliver more of the same, but companies remain disciplined and only the best projects continue to get over the line.
