Did you see the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Market Shift and Upturn?
The volume of Oil & Gas and Petrochemical engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts awarded in 2018 is about to double compared with 2017 as a consequence of the market shift from the international oil companies (IOCs) to the national oil companies (NOCs) and independent companies.

Oil and Gas and Petrochemical market is booming. On the first quarter 2018, we have seen nearly as much business opportunities awarded than in the entire year 2017. This market upturn is led by the national oil companies (NOCs) and the Independent companies representing 96% of the projects sanctioned on Q1 2018 while the international oil companies (IOCs) nearly disappeared at 6%.
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market has grown up by 30% in 2017 in respect with the number of projects sanctioned for execution with EPC contracts. This number confirms our last year forecast and gives credit to our estimation of 20% to 35% growth for 2018. This market upturn is driven by a market shift from the IOCs to the NOCs and Independent companies, representing both nearly 80% of the capital expenditure as operator on the next five years. As a results the projects get smaller and run on fast-track requiring more agility from the sales organizations for detection and capture.
