Philippines Petroleum Industry revenue was valued at US$ 13,317.2 Mn in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ 17,292.1 Mn by 2027. The market is registering growth at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period 2022-2027. 

The growing impetus of the Philippines petroleum market is attributed to factors such as the resurgence of the upstream petroleum industry and increasing oil & gas explorations in the Philippines. The government is aiming to spur new investment in the upstream sector through the issuing of new blocks through the fifth Philippine Energy Contracting Round (PECR5). Initially launched in 2015, PECR5 offers a total of 11 petroleum blocks with a combined area of more than 4.7m ha in West Luzon, South-east Luzon, West Masbate-Iloilo, East Palawan, and the Recto Bank. Furthermore, the demand for energy in the Philippines is ever-increasing with the thrust of many business sectors to automation and paperless transactions. However, the Philippines largely imports oil & gas from other countries. In 2019, the Philippines imported various types of crude oil. Around 85% of the total crude mix (30,200 MB) was sourced from the UAE, Kuwait, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the oil and gas sector faces heavy scrutiny regarding environmental issues, such as air and water quality and offshore regulation.
