The global oil and gas industry’s contract value increased from $35.4 billion in Q1 2023 to $56.7 billion in Q2 2023 driven by major contracts in the Middle East, according to a new report by GlobalData.
A 60% quarter-on-quarter increase in contract activity was mainly driven by a mega contract for Qatar’s North Field South (NFS) LNG project, reveals GlobalData.
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 $10 billion engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract to build 16 million tonnes per year North Field South (NFS) LNG project in Qatar.”
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) represented 54% of the total contracts in Q2 2023, 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%.
