The IHS CERA Upstream Capital Costs Index (UCCI), which tracks costs associated with the construction of new oil and gas facilities continued to decline, down 4 percent over the past six months, though costs are approaching their bottom, the report finds. Its index score is now 202.

The IHS CERA DCCI is a proprietary measure of the costs of designing and constructing downstream oil and gas facilities. The current DCCI rose from 170 to 172.5 over the past 6 months. The values are indexed to the year 2000, meaning that a project that cost $100 in 2000 would cost $172.50 today.
