The year 2023 has just begun and is already generating discussions about the expansion of the oil and natural gas sector in the global market.

Westwood Energy has optimistic forecasts for the drilling of new wells in the coming months. According to them, the market will witness the opening of up to 85 new high-impact wells this year.

Well Drilling Activity In Oil And Natural Gas Remained Stable Over The Last Two Years

Westwood Energy is anticipating significant growth in well drilling operations in 2023, following two stable years in the sector.

High-impact drilling in 2022 remained at a similar level to 2021, with the completion of 81 high-impact wells.

The year was also marked by major discoveries in the oil and natural gas sector, such as those made in Guyana and one in Suriname, which represented approximately 21% of the total resources discovered.

Conversely, frontier exploration drilling remained low for the year, with only 19 wells completed in 2022. The commercial success rate in emerging plays increased from 28% in 2021 to 46% in 2022, largely driven by improved performance in the Suriname-Guiana region.

Regarding the success rate in maturing plays, it decreased from 36% in 2021 to 30% in 2022. The companies that stood out in the well drilling segment in 2022 were CNOOC, Exxon, and Hess.

Now, Westwood Energy expects a promising year for well drilling operations in the oil and natural gas sector.
