This month Infield Systems comments on projects planned and considered for development between 2007 and 2011. Asia is again strong in the total number of floating platforms planned up until 2011, with 23% of the world totals followed by Africa and Latin America with 19% and 17%, respectively.
Regionally, in terms of reserves coming onstream, the global picture is dominated unsurprisingly by the Middle East with 39% of world totals, but is most remarkably followed by the three strong growth areas: Asia, Africa, and Latin America with 17%, 11%, and 11%, respectively.
For details on region by region offshore activity, see the E&P analysis starting on page 34.
