North America is expected to witness 594 projects commence operations during the period 2023–2027. Out of these, upstream projects would be 80, midstream would be the highest with 303 projects, with refinery and petrochemicals at 86 and 125, respectively.

In midstream, the trunk/transmission pipelines segment alone constitutes 44% of all projects, followed by gas processing and oil storage with 20% and 17%, respectively. Refinery and petrochemical projects constitute about 36% of all upcoming oil and gas projects in North America from 2023–2027.

New build projects dominate the landscape of upcoming projects in North America, constituting around 81% of the total projects across the value chain. The share of new build projects is especially high in the midstream sector, with 58% of the total new build projects across the value chain. On the other hand, expansion projects lead in the upstream (fields) sector.
