*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Project sanctions recovered strongly in 2017 with a flurry of developments attaining final investment decisions (FID) in the fourth quarter of the year – primarily in Norway and Brazil. Globally, 33 major projects have been sanctioned throughout the year, representing over 11.2 billion boe of reserves. With plenty of projects still in the pre-FID hopper, we forecast around another 25-30 projects to get the go-ahead in 2018.
