The Upstream Services Market industry is projected to grow USD 5.2 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032).Â
The upstream services industry, commonly known as the Exploration and Production sector, includes activities such as crude oil and gas mining, recovery, and production. The demand for energy and natural resources has risen in recent years. As a result, massive amounts of oil and gas must be drilled. With this, there is a greater demand for technological advancements and exploratory initiatives, as well as lower production costs. The upstream services industry must invest in technology in order to reduce time, costs, and environmental impact.
The upstream service market can be divided into rental equipment, field operations, and analytical services on the basis of type; geophysical, drilling, production, processing, and separation on the basis of service and onshore and offshore on the basis of application. Â Despite the fact that the sector is facing challenges due to declining reserves, increasing consumption, and high price volatility, shale gas production and extraction of crude oil and natural gas have expanded dramatically with the growing popularity of horizontal drilling.
COVID – 19 has severely impacted the upstream service market growth. The operations require team collaboration and integration of equipment with some manual tasks. However, due to the pandemic, social distancing norms are being followed which has impacted the operations. Since the tasks are majorly on fields, hence work could not be progressed within the lockdown impositions.
Also, there has been a decline in oil and gas demand due to impositions of national and lockdowns. Since the majority of the population is working from remote areas, consumption has declined. Besides, due to high price volatility, there have been fluctuations in demand patterns from various countries. The impacts of a pandemic on upstream services market growth are estimated to be for the short and medium-term.
Over the past few years, there has been an increase in shale gas extraction which is expected to drive the upstream services market growth. Shale gas is often formed in shale formations which does not flow into the wells as it has low permeability. Technological advancements such as directional drilling have enabled the improvement of shale gas production.
Besides, the production and exploration activities will be increasing in the upcoming years due to an increase in demand for energy and high investments opportunities. These factors will drive upstream services market growth.
There has been increasing demand for energy and natural resources. Thus, there is a requirement for drilling huge amounts of oil and gas. The upstream service industry requires an increase in technological advancements, higher exploration activities, and reduction of production costs. The Upstream Services industry must invest in technology for reducing time, costs, and environmental damage.
Paris Agreement of 2016 concluded upstream oil and gas segments will not receive monetary help from the World Bank. Thus, environmental concerns are estimated to impact the industry in the long run. Since upstream is highly regulated and influenced by politics globally. This has become a major restraint for upstream services market growth in the long run.
Reduced investment from international and national agencies will pose a challenge for the companies in the upstream services industry. Also, price fluctuations for oil and gaswill couple challenges for high volume sales. High price volatility impacts the demand and supply for crude oil. The disruptions in the demand and supply impact upcoming projects thus resulting in downfall for upstream services market growth.
The investments for oil and gas activities shall impact upstream services market growth in the upcoming years. The drilling technology includes conventional and unconventional types. Thus, shale oil production has increased in popularity for horizontal drilling. Also, unconventional drilling which includes horizontal is becoming cost-effective over the years. In the year 2016, horizontal wells contributed to more than 69 % of crude oil and natural gas within the United States.
The upstream services industry is highly regulated under global environmental laws. Several issues for the environment were taken up in the 2016 Paris Agreement. The companies are required for developing new technologies to reduce environmental damage for meeting the compliance made by national and international agencies.
The market is highly conglomerated and is subdivided into type, service, and application
The market segmentation on type includes further subdivisions like rental equipment, field operations, and analytical services. In this view, the equipment hired for rent holds the largest market share. However, the demand has been increasing, due to which its market growth will be much slower. The field operation segment has been increasing its market share due to the deployment of services.
Additionally, analytical services will grow at a higher rate due to developments like real-time analytics, software solutions, quality control, and others.Â
The market segments for the services sector can be subdivided into geophysical, drilling, production, processing, and separation. The production sector holds the highest market share followed by drilling services. Other segments are expected to grow at a significant rate due to an increase in exploration activities.
The market segments are subdivided into onshore and offshore. It is estimated that offshore segments will capture the highest growth due to their increasing investments in subsea and gaseous assets.
North America is anticipated to hold significant market shares. Followed by North America, Asia- Pacific and Europe will be capture high market growth during the forecast period. Owing to increasing activities in offshore activities. In Europe, operating cost for excavating oil well has been reduced by 30 % in Norway due to which upstream services market growth is expected. In addition to this, the Middle East and Africa have high growth potentials due to untapped capacities for hydrocarbons and non-complex formations.
The upstream service market share is highly competitive with many key players.
In the year 2020, DOF subsea announced contractual agreements with Petrobras that are worth 110 million. Solstad Offshore ASA has obtained many contracts for upstream services in Brazil. Also, Subsea 07 agreed to a contract to manage, engineer, and install offshore activities in Trinidad and Tobago.
