A total new-build capital expenditure (capex) of $846 billion is expected to be spent globally on planned and announced upstream oil and gas projects from 2019 to 2025, a report said.

Royal Dutch Shell leads among all oil and gas companies and is expected to spend $54.6 billion on upcoming upstream projects during the forecast period, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

The report: ‘H1 2019 Global Oil and Gas Upstream Capital Expenditure Outlook by Key Countries and Companies to 2025 – Shell Leads New-Build Upstream Capex Outlook among Companies' reveals that Gazprom and Exxon Mobil Corp are the next top spenders with new-build capex of $49.8 billion and $43 billion, respectively.

Soorya Tejomoortula, oil and gas analyst at GlobalData, said: “Shell has spread its new-build capex for the development of 60 upcoming upstream projects. This will further aid the company to expand its scale, and increase production and cash flows.”  

GlobalData identifies Canada, Russia, and the US as the top countries in terms of new-build capex to be spent on planned and announced upstream projects during the outlook period.

Canada tops the list with capex of around $107.7 billion. Russia and the US together will spend around $143.8 billion on planned and announced upstream projects, from 2019 to 2025.
