GlobalData: Oil and gas industry overall contract value up by 60%

GlobalData’s latest report, “Oil and Gas Industry Contracts Analytics by Sector (Upstream, Midstream and Downstream), Region, Planned and Awarded Contracts and Top Contractors, Q1 2023 ,” shows that the overall contract value increased from US$35.4 billion in Q1 2023 to US$56.7 billion in 2Q23. However, the contract volume was unable to keep up the pace and saw a decrease from 1625 in 1Q23 to 1256 in 2Q23.

Pritam Kad, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The big boost on the value front is attributed to Technip Energies and Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) joint venture’s landmark US$10 billion engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract to build 16 million tpy North Field South (NFS) LNG project in Qatar.”

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) represented 54% of the total contracts in 2Q23, followed by procurement scope with 18%, and contracts with multiple scopes, such as construction, design and engineering, installation, O&M, and procurement, accounted for 11%.

Some of the other notable contracts during the quarter include Hyundai E&C’s two lump-sum turn-key contracts combined worth approximately US$5 billion from Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies, covering the detailed design EPC for a mixed feed cracker (MFC), and utilities, flares, and interconnecting facilities at the Amiral petrochemicals facility expansion in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.

Maire Tecnimont subsidiaries also secured two lump-sum turn-key contracts worth around US$2 billion from Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies for the EPC of derivatives units and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) units for the Amiral expansion.
