Vision Shopsters: Drilling for Offshore Oil and Gas - Global

Introduction

Introduction

The report analyses the global offshore drilling market providing historic drilling and spending trends in the period 2005 to 2009 and forecast trends over the period 2010 to 2014. The report discusses key drilling events in each country of the region including a synthesis of shallow versus deep water spending and exploratory versus development spending.

Scope

*The report aims to fully explain, quantify and cost the regional offshore drilling market.

*Drilling mainly occurs in areas where oil and/or gas production has been achieved. Only a very few wells are drilled in high-risk regions where it is hoped that production will be achieved in the future.

Highlights

The report provides historic drilling and spending trends over the period 2005 to 2009 and forecast trends over the period 2010 to 2014.

Reasons to Purchase

*Understand and quantify global offshore drilling market.

*Assess future offshore drilling opportunities globally.
