NEWS RELEASE – September 21, 2018

In its Q4 2018 Floating Production Systems Report, Energy Maritime Associates (EMA) reviewed the market for Floating Production Systems, including FPSOs, FLNGs, FSRUs, TLPs, Spars, Semis, FSOs, and MOPUs.

Recent Highlights:

• FPSO orders highest in four years. Eight FPSOs have been awarded so far in 2018, including six newbuilt units (five in china one in Singapore) and two redeployments of idle units. This is the most FPSO orders since oil price crashed in 2014.
• More Awards on the Way. EMA has identified 31 projects most likely to be sanctioned in the next 12 months. This includes 17 FPSOs, 5 FSRUs, 4 FSOs, 2 Production Semis, 2 MOPUs, and 1 FLNG. A few of these will be awarded by year end, with most being approved in 2019.
• SBM – Back in Brazil. In Q3 2018, SBM settled its legacy issues with Brazilian authorities and agreed to payments worth USD 342 million. After a four year hiatus, SBM is now able to compete for new Petrobras contracts. Its Fast4Ward design is well suited for the large pre-salt FPSOs, such as the current Mero 2 tender.
• HHI Closes Offshore Yard. Due to lack of work, Hyundai shut its dedicated offshore facility in August 2018 after seven years in operation. HHI has not won an FPS order since 2014, other than FSRUs, which are built in the main shipbuilding yard.

According to EMA’s Managing Director, David Boggs, “Oil prices have rebounded over 100% from their lowest levels, while offshore costs have hardly moved. As a result, many offshore developments are now very competitive, if not more attractive, than onshore shale fields, with breakevens as low as $30/bbl. We see this as the start of a new cycle for the industry, with re-set pricing and a growing oil price, similar to the period from 2004/5. If oil prices remain stable, there is tremendous opportunity for new floating production projects over at least the next two years. While there have been substantial industry reductions and consolidation, there is still sufficient industry capacity, particularly in the subsea and drilling sectors through 2020.”
