Oil and gas construction includes production facilities, liquefaction plants, refineries, pipelines, and storage tanks, and more. Offshore Technology’s Oil and gas construction projects dashboard uses GlobalData’s comprehensive projects database to provide insights into the top oil and gas projects, both offshore and onshore, and oil and gas projects momentum index.
Analysis of the oil and gas construction projects by region shows that the Middle East and Africa region has the largest share of projects by value, with projects worth $1.23 trillion (tn) in pipeline accounting for approximately 35% of the projects in pipeline across the world.

Offshore Technology provides insight into the number of new oil and gas projects in the world by country and stage of development.
As at the start of 2022, Offshore Technology had identified 2,410 oil and gas projects over $25m at various stages of development, including 808 in execution.
By country, the US was home to the highest number of oil and gas projects with 221 projects, followed by India and Iran with 192 and 134 projects, respectively.
Offshore Technology provides an analysis of the total investment value of oil and gas projects by country and stage of development, based on GlobalData’s construction projects database.
The total pipeline of new oil and gas construction projects over $25m had a combined value of $5.44tn at the start of 2022.
By country, the US had the largest pipeline of over $25m new oil and gas projects, worth a total of $599.68bn, followed by India and Canada with $442.84bn and $388.84bn, respectively.
Brazil had oil and gas construction projects in the execution phase worth $177.24bn, followed by the US with $166.67bn and Iran with $138.64bn in 2021.
The momentum index is based on scoring the latest developments on projects from +5 to -5 based on the degree to which a development is positive, such as construction commencing or a contract awarded, or negative, such as delays or cancellations. The overall momentum score is the average score of all project developments in each month, weighted by the project values.
The oil and gas construction projects momentum index, which is based on GlobalData’s construction projects database, depicts the monthly and trend scores of projects.
Monthly score is the average event score for all project developments in each month, while the trend score is the three-month moving average of the monthly score.
