Middle East Conflict Jolts Offshore Drilling Market
Conflict between Iran, The United States, Israel and allies throughout the Gulf region has had an immediate effect on the oil and gas industry, both upstream and downstream. Drone and missile attacks have damaged refineries and as of mid-April 2026, blockades in the Strait of Hormuz have severely restricted the flow of oil into the global market. The war has also affected drilling in the area.

Deepwater’s Playbook for Delivering Growth
Deepwater production continues to remain a core part of the long-term energy supply mix. While production from conventional onshore and shallow-water assets is expected to remain broadly flat under our base case, Welligence estimates that global deepwater oil production will grow from its current level of around 8 million bbl/d to close to 10 million bbl/d by the early-2030s.

Ocean Minerals Are Becoming a Real US Opportunity
Momentum around critical minerals in Washington is no longer hypothetical. Policymakers are now focused on practical steps to expand domestic access to the raw materials that underpin national security, advanced manufacturing, and modern energy systems. Ocean minerals are front and center of this conversation and the offshore industry is prepared to play a central role.

Floating Wind & Deepwater Oil & Gas – Two Worlds Collide
Over the last few years, the energy trilemma has pivoted away from energy transition to energy security and affordability. As a result, offshore oil & gas exploration and production activity, including deepwater activity, has been relatively healthy.

Powering Happiness - How Vaasa’s Energy Cluster Drives Finland’s Global Reach
Finland’s status as the world’s happiest country has become almost routine. The nation once again ranked first in the 2026 World Happiness Report, extending a streak that dates back to 2018. Yet in Vaasa, on Finland’s west coast, that title feels less like a branding exercise and more like a by-product of something deeper - a tightly integrated industrial ecosystem built around energy innovation.

Hard-to-Abate Reality Check: DNV on CCS Growth, Costs, and the Policy Gap
DNV’s latest Energy Transition Outlook for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) characterizes 2025 as a critical year for CCS, highlighting that global capture and storage capacity has reached a turning point, driven by near-term expansion in North America and Europe. For Jamie Burrows, Global Segment Lead, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) at DNV and one of the report’s authors, the central issue is no longer whether CCS has a role in the energy transition - it is whether the industry can deploy it at sufficient speed, in the right sectors, under the right policy frameworks.

Technology as Enabler of Energy Security in Offshore Asia
In recent years, Asia’s offshore sector has regained strategic importance, as operators pursue new upstream opportunities while governments seek to strengthen domestic and regional energy security. Ongoing geopolitical developments and potential exposure to supply disruptions have sharpened focus on the role offshore projects can play in delivering resilient energy supply. In this context, technology is becoming a critical enabler of execution certainty, reliability and long-term system resilience.

Well Decommissioning Expanding Horizons for Innovators with Proven Experience
The changing shape of the oil and gas landscape presents both an opportunity and a challenge for well decommissioning. Well decommissioning, particularly the safe execution of plug and abandonment (P&A) operations, represents a significant opportunity for companies capable of managing and permanently securing late-life wells. For operators, it is no longer simply an end-of-life obligation, but a complex engineering challenge requiring the right combination of technology, experience and operational capability.
