Wilhelmsen Ship Management has identified a number of significant developments in the offshore oil & gas industry.
- Persistent high energy prices create renewed interest in smaller hydrocarbon fields.
- Increased competition for qualified and experienced technicians.
- NOCs (National Oil Companies) have entered the international scene.
- Continued focus on deepwater projects are prolonging the life of existing shallow water assets.
- A “zero flaring” policy and rising gas prices has kick-started the market for floating gas technology.
- Stricter environment legislation strengthens the market for floating regasification technology.
- Strong demand from oil & gas companies for FPSOs, Spars, TLPs, and semi-submersibles
