Close to $790bn will be spent between 2018 and 2025 on 615 upcoming oil and gas fields globally, according to a Globaldata analyst. Capital expenditure (capex) into conventional oil, unconventional oil, heavy oil and oil sands projects would form $350bn, $3bn, $40.2bn and $43.4bn of the world’s capital spend respectively over the eight-year period. Conventional gas projects will require $348bn, while the investments into unconventional gas and coal bed methane (CBM) projects would total $5.5bn in upstream capital expenditure by 2025.
Brazil accounts for $80.7bn or over 10.2% of total capex into upcoming projects globally over 2018 to 2025. The country has 48 announced and planned fields.
