How we check

Every project is checked by hand against at least two public sources — company newsrooms, regulators, trade press. No commercial databases.

Each card shows its sources and the date we checked them (every project in this set: on or after 2026-10-08). We re-check every month; a project that finishes or is cancelled leaves the tour.

Companies appear as sourced project facts only. Reported risks are shown as reported. The discipline lists are our own inference and say so. The small dots are other projects from public datasets — context, not checked by us.

    Why we watch it

    Two more Fast4Ward-hull FPSOs entering SBM Offshore's record backlog right as Schiedam engineering ramps up — a multi-year pipeline of FPSO design, procurement and commissioning roles, on top of Jaguar and SBM's other current builds.

    Phase in full, as reported

    FIDs taken (SEAP-II late 2025, SEAP-I April 2026); SBM engineering and procurement started on both FPSOs (each <25% complete at H1 2026)

    Reported risk in full, as reported

    Gas-export pipeline tender paused (September 2026). Petrobras has 'taken a step back' on the ~US$1 bn tender to assess Brazil's planned 'gas release' rules, which its E&P director had warned in July 2026 could delay the pipeline: a risk to the 2031 gas-export date rather than, so far, to the FPSO schedule.

    Why we watch it

    Three plants built at once in southern Iraq: a US$3 bn seawater treatment plant (Hyundai E&C EPC), an oilfield redevelopment to 210,000 b/d and a 300 MMcf/d gas plant. TotalEnergies reports ~7,000 workers at peak.

    Reported risk in full, as reported

    Ratawi phase 1 has slipped repeatedly: TotalEnergies cited Middle East conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruption to equipment shipments, and MEED reports Iraqi customs clearance of critical equipment as the main delay as of September 2026. Security and logistics conditions in southern Iraq remain a risk.
