2016 will continue a period of stark adaptation for the Caspian region and its energy industry. With the oil price set to remain low throughout the year, currencies risk weakening further and new investment will be limited. Nevertheless, 2016 will also be a vital transition year for the region’s two largest liquids projects: FID will be taken for a US$30 billion+ expansion project at Tengiz in Kazakhstan, while a contract extension is expected at Azeri Chirag Guneshli in Azerbaijan.
