New oil and gas investment opportunities in the year ahead will be shaped by a blend of traditional asset development and emerging strategic priorities. Many investors are revisiting conventional upstream plays—particularly in regions with stable regulatory environments and competitive breakeven costs—as supply constraints and underinvestment in recent years have tightened global markets. At the same time, advances in drilling efficiency and digital field optimization continue to lower project risks and improve returns, making selective exploration and development attractive even in a transitioning energy landscape.
Beyond upstream, the midstream sector offers compelling prospects as demand for reliable transport, storage, and export infrastructure grows—especially in LNG, where long-term contracts and expanding global demand support stable cash flows. Investors are also eyeing opportunities in lower-carbon hydrocarbons, such as gas-focused portfolios, carbon capture and storage–ready assets, and projects designed to reduce methane intensity. Together, these trends point to a year where disciplined capital deployment, operational resilience, and alignment with evolving environmental expectations will be central to unlocking value.
