CAPEX Oil and Gas Market Analysis

The Oil and Gas CAPEX is expected to grow from USD 797.58 billion in 2023 to USD 983.04 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.27% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

The market was impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • Over the medium term, the rising investments in offshore oil & gas activities owing to the surging energy demand, depleting onshore reserves, and efforts from governments across nations to explore their offshore resources are expected to drive the growth of the oil & gas capex market in the coming years.
  • On the other hand, volatile crude oil and natural gas prices, coupled with slow economic growth at a global level, are expected to restrain the oil and gas CAPEX during the forecast period.
  • Nevertheless, several offshore, deep, and ultra-deepwater explorations in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and developing countries such as Senegal and Mauritiana, provide ample opportunity for increased capital expenditure.
  • North America has recorded the highest gains in CAPEX, owing to operations of globally integrated majors, along with national oil companies and new investments during the forecast period.

Oil and Gas CAPEX Outlook Size Summary

The oil and gas CAPEX market is poised for substantial growth over the forecast period, driven by increasing investments in offshore activities due to rising energy demand and depleting onshore reserves. Governments worldwide are actively exploring offshore resources, which is expected to bolster market expansion. However, the market faces challenges from volatile crude oil and natural gas prices and slow global economic growth. Despite these challenges, opportunities abound in offshore, deep, and ultra-deepwater explorations in regions like the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico, as well as in developing countries such as Senegal and Mauritania. North America, particularly the United States, is a significant contributor to CAPEX growth, supported by operations of integrated majors and national oil companies.

The upstream sector is anticipated to dominate CAPEX investments, with state-owned companies focusing on domestic projects to enhance energy security. The market's recovery post-COVID-19 lockdowns has been fueled by increased demand and rising crude oil prices, leading to a surge in investments. Major oil and gas companies have announced significant increases in capital expenditures, with a focus on high-margin growth opportunities. The United States leads in global oil and gas production, with substantial CAPEX plans for petrochemical plants and new upstream projects. Similarly, Canada is witnessing significant investments from major operators. The market is moderately fragmented, with key players like BP, Exxon Mobil, TotalEnergies, Chevron, and Shell actively participating in CAPEX activities.
