Class of 2023: benchmarking this year's upstream FIDs
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
After a year of high oil and gas prices and record cash flows, most upstream operators are in good financial health. But companies will remain disciplined as ongoing cost inflation erodes project economics. Some developments will be re-evaluated, and possibly delayed, as a result. Overall, the NOCs will dominate the class of 2023, taking advantage of discovered resources and lower unit costs. IOCs will largely take advantage of higher return deepwater projects. But they will also continue to face scrutiny on emissions, mitigation and investment in new oil and gas projects.
