In this period of social and economic confusion, Gas projects seem to benefit from an exceptional stability.
The level of investment for gas projects is equal in 2020 to 2019.
As part of the underlying Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market revolution, the business model for projects is changing.
In fact, the new business model is a return to the basic of ROI (Return on Investment) calculations.

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.
Already more than double the 2017 business From the numbers we collected at the end of June, the LNG market has already awarded in 2018 twice more business than the entire 2017 year.
