Deepwater has emerged as a key driver of global upstream growth. Over the past decade, it has delivered more than 2.8 million boe/d in new production. As capital discipline reshapes industry priorities, deepwater stands out: superior reservoir quality, competitive economics, and strong scale-up potential. With nearly US$500 billion in investment expected by 2035, countries like Brazil, the United States, Guyana, and Mozambique are leading a new wave of development.
The webinar will explore the deepwater’ s journey from frontier to core, benchmark its performance against other resource themes, and assess the shifting competitive landscape. We will cover exploration momentum, development economics, and where the next phase of growth is coming from.
Agenda points:
- From frontier to core: deepwater's strategic rise
The performance edge: economics, productivity, and emissions - Global competition heats up: new basins, new players
- Next wave of growth: frontier discoveries and resource renewal
- Navigating complexity: technology, costs, and supply chain pressures
