Thousands of industry participants gathered in London for their annual get-together, only to find a world awash in crude and hardly a life jacket in sight.
The thousands of attendees seeking reasons for optimism didn’t find them at the annual International Petroleum Week. Instead they were greeted by a cacophony of voices from some of the largest oil producers, refiners and traders delivering the same message:
Releasing its annual results today, OSV owner Bourbon Offshore said it had a total of 44 supply vessels stacked as of the end of the year, a jump of 13 vessels since its third quarter results were released early November.
Never Give Up, Courage, Faith, Knowledge, Instincts, Experience, Teamwork, Responsibility and Love Your Job.
Based on The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue.
Growing demand for oil & gas is expected to drive the offshore support vessel market at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Meanwhile, the recent decline in the global crude oil price has negatively affected E&P activities, which is prominently visible with the sharp decline in the global rig count, affecting drilling activities. This has further affected the market of offshore support vessels. Discovery of new offshore oil & gas fields and growing demand for oil & gas are the major driving factors of the market.
According to the report the market was valued at US$12,616 mn in 2012. Analysts at TMR project the market to expand at a healthy CAGR of 17.20% during the period from 2013 and 2019 and reach a value of US$38,752.7 mn by the end of the forecast period.
