Southeast Asia upstream recovery to be led by new startups and sanctioning

Prateek Pandey, Vice President, Upstream Research

Southeast Asia was defined last year by historically low upstream activity levels, with less than five projects sanctioned. Looking forward, however, activity in the region is expected to witness a significant recovery this year with around 15 projects lined up for approval and a similar number of fields likely to reach first production. Rystad Energy expects a surge in sanctioning levels of nearly 300% year-on-year, with total commitments likely to cross the $6 billion mark, reflecting increases in both onshore and offshore activity. We expect offshore developments to dominate the scene, encompassing around 80% of discoveries to reach final investment decisions (FIDs) in 2021.

At first glance, Petronas has revised down the outlook for total greenfield and brownfield projects in execution in 2021 by 30%, with only 41 projects in operation compared to 58 in the pre-Covid-19 version. The number of greenfield projects that will move into the engineering phase this year have slipped to four – versus five in the pre-Covid-19 version – and some projects have been pushed to 2022 with six new projects forecasted compared to two in the previous outlook. Of the four new projects pegged for this year, three are fixed structures, two of which are classed as medium-weight and one classed as heavyweight.

Xi Nan, Vice President, Analyst, Gas and Power Markets Research

As we turn a page on the 2020 gas market – a year defined by a pandemic, record-low gas prices, production shut-ins, and only a single LNG project getting sanctioned – we look forward to which trends may define the next year. So far 2021 has delivered a complete turnaround in the structure of the gas price curve, notching a record-high price of nearly $25 per MMBtu in Asia. This commentary looks at how sustainable this price spike is, as well as the fundamental supply-demand forces behind the price ticker.

Australia's renewables lookahead for 2021

David Dixon, Senior Analyst, Australia Renewables Research

The coming year is set to be a busy one for Australian renewable energy players, with an expected 5.3 GWAC of utility PV, wind and battery projects expected to complete commissioning. Activity will be concentrated to the West Murray region for utility PV commissioning and western Victoria for wind.
