10. Market overview
Tight until 2017 until all the 94Mtpa of capacity under construction is on stream.
Developers are looking at expansions & New Build - Arctic to the Tropics
488Mtpa of new supply projects under development, - competing to serve a growing demand of some 175Mtpa by 2025 (who are the Losers?)
North American exports are unlikely to be a complete solution
Costs need to be controlled since the growing demand is in price sensitive markets.

EY* Findings aligned with 2011 IPA study -70% of upstream megaprojects confronted cost overruns or delays, a deterioration from 2003, when 50% were either late or over budget EY also evaluated a sample comprised of the largest 20 post-FID projects. 65% of these projects were confronting cost overruns with an average escalation of 23% from the approved FID budget. Over 78% exceeded Base Line schedule
•Identified 5 fundamental causes of overruns and delays: # Portfolio and project commercial context # Project development # Project delivery # Regulatory challenges # Geopolitical challenges
