Upstream FIDs jump in 2017: What's changed?

Report summary

Thirty two projects reached FID in 2017, over a threefold increase on the lows of 2015. Confidence is returning to the upstream sector. The projects sanctioned in 2017 add 2 million boe/d of production in 2025, and yet these projects look very different from those that took FID before the downturn. We assess the key factors and themes that contributed to these projects getting the go-ahead and provide an outlook for 2018.
