*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Oil and gas operators find themselves at the crossroads of capital discipline and supply growth. Prevailing prices are more than double most planning assumptions, but industry uncertainties have never been higher. This could be a big year for upstream FIDs but operators will continue to focus on managing costs and some may move quickly to mitigate the impact of cost inflation. Overall, the class of 2022 has appealing economics and emissions intensities.
