2 月 6 日，雷斯塔能源公司里海和中亚地区负责人 Artem Stopnevich 在阿塞拜疆巴库举行的 2025 年 IADC 里海钻井大会上与 DC 一起拍摄的视频中表示，里海地区为石油和天然气行业带来了大量机遇。这些机遇可能不是过去的大型项目，但它们确实对钻井平台和供应链产生了影响。

在视频中，斯托普涅维奇还解释了为什么可能需要新一轮钻井平台建设以支持深水钻井的增长，以及美国新特朗普政府可能对全球石油市场产生的影响。

The Caspian region is full of opportunities for the oil and gas industry, said Artem Stopnevich, Head of Caspian and Central Asia for Rystad Energy, in a video with DC at the 2025 IADC Drilling Caspian Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, on 6 February. These opportunities may not be the mega projects of the past, but they do put a call on drilling rigs and the supply chain.

In the video, Mr Stopnevich also explains why there may be a call for a new round of rig building to support deepwater drilling growth, as well as the possible effects that the new Trump Administration in the US could have on global oil markets.
