Woodmac Says Deepwater US Gulf Still Appeals to Investors

摘要

Even though regulatory changes have slowed down the pace of permitting and development, Wood Mackenzie says the deepwater Gulf’s hydrocarbon-rich geology, well-developed infrastructure and stable fiscal regime still make it a profitable place to do business.
