Onshore/Offshore Facilities
War-related damage to oil and gas facilities is expected to disrupt global supply chains for years, as backlogs for critical equipment continue to grow, Rystad Energy reports.
The rise in China’s gas production, now exceeding that of Qatar and of Australia, is also limiting growth in its LNG demand.
TotalEnergies will instead invest in the Rio Grande LNG plant, upstream conventional oil development in the US Gulf of Mexico, and shale-gas production.
