GlobalData expects that 81 new crude and natural gas projects will start operations in Europe over the next eight years. By 2025, the projects will contribute around 1,496 thousand barrels per day (mbd) to global oil production and close to 4.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) to global gas production.

The majority of new developments, or 45 projects, fall under an early-stage category, while 36 of the new projects have progressed to well-defined development plans. Differentiating for the primary resource type, conventional oil and gas projects account for 38 new projects each. The region will see five heavy oil projects among its upcoming developments.
