  Increasing Production & Exploration Activities in Oil & Gas Industry to Favor Market Growth

  
  

Oilfield services are highly valued in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry, especially for offshore assets. The market is expected to expand faster due to the rising shale gas extraction and the rising oil and gas output. The main drivers of market expansion are a decrease in the price of oilfield services and an increase in production output. The market is expanding more quickly because to increased shale gas extraction from hydraulic fracturing and other stimulation techniques. The market's need for oilfield services is being driven by an increase in demand for oil and gas coming from offshore regions.

The global market for oilfield services is anticipated to expand at a 5.1% CAGR from 2021 to 2038. The expansion of the oil and gas sector and the quickening pace of shale gas development are two major factors driving the oilfield services market. The demand for oil and gas services is stimulated by increased oil and gas investment in the prospective region, including the Middle East and Africa. However, the main obstacles to the expansion of the oilfield services industry are the rising emphasis on the creation of renewable energy sources and the erratic crude oil prices.

Moreover, New oil and gas fields are being investigated to meet the demand, especially in sectors like transportation, power generation, and other industries. Thanks to technical advancements, operators can now extract oil from challenging sources. For instance, it was very expensive to extract oil and gas from bituminous sand and shale, respectively. On the other side, new technologically advanced techniques have reduced the cost.
