Report summary

Discovered volumes from exploration is close to 300 mmboe, compared to 145 mmboe discovered throughout all of 2018. The US GoM accounted for 20% of projects sanctioned globally. Production started from the first ever Jurassic-aged reservoir in deepwater GoM, and Murphy and Equinor scaled up their position through billion-dollar acquisitions. But what can we expect from the second half of the year?
