Project Insight - Oil and Gas Construction Projects: Asia-Pacific

Synopsis

Although China and India are leaders in global economic production, the region as a whole does not lead for investment in oil and gas construction projects, trailing the Americas with a total investment of US$1.23 trillion.

Investment in the oil and gas upstream sector in Asia-Pacific is expected to be subdued in 2017, 40% lower than investment in 2015 due largely to fewer projects taking final investment decisions with reduced budgets for exploration.
