Water Cut Monitors Market Trends

• 
  

  Growing offshore oil & gas explorationis driving the market growth

  
  

The production of oil and gas is essential to the world's development. Heat and electricity are essential components of daily life, without which one would perish. The need for both has expanded as the population has grown exponentially. Conventional fuel is used to generate a significant amount of heat and power. Oil & gas have been widely used in power production, transportation, manufacturing, and other applications. However, due to globalization, urbanization, and tremendous economic expansion, the exponential demand for conventional fuel is expected to reduce the demand-supply ratio.

Furthermore, a large amount of power used for heating and air conditioning is projected to increase oil & gas consumption. Following this trend, operators will invest in untapped hydrocarbon sources, boosting the market CAGR. In addition, several countries are boosting capital expenditure (CAPEX) to meet future energy demand. Offshore oil & gas have proven to be one of the most dependable energy sources, attracting many investors. Furthermore, offshore exploration and drilling activities are increasing because of the increasing demand for crude oil worldwide. In addition, both exporting and importing countries are increasing their refining capacity to meet the growing demand for refined products. The growing need for real-time flow monitoring equipment is one of the primary reasons propelling the water cut monitors market forward.

Additionally, the increase in need and demand for real-time flow monitoring equipment. Further, economies across the globe increase their refining capacity to meet the growing demand for refined products. This positively impacts the growth of the international water cut monitor market. In addition, numerous countries depend on oil imports to meet their demand for hydrocarbon products, which is expected to drive the Water Cut Monitors market revenue.

Water Cut Monitors Market Segment Insights:

Water Cut Monitors Sector Insights

Based on Sector, the Water Cut Monitors market segmentation including upstream, midstream, and downstream. The upstream segment dominated the market due to the growing demand for oil and gas. Due to real-time monitoring devices, the water cut monitor system is expected to grow during this period, escalating investments in developing additional refining capacity. 

Water Cut Monitors Application Insights

Based on Application, the Water Cut Monitors market segmentation includes well testing, separation vessel, refinery, and others. The separation vessel segment led the water cut monitors market. Separation vessels are pressure vessels installed to separate the produced crude into gas, oil, and water. Operators prioritize maintaining the quality of the oil obtained after separation while conforming to specifications and standards; this drives the demand for water-cut monitors at these separation vessels. Increasing dependence on unconventional resources has further boosted the demand for separation vessels as the crude obtained from them contains impurities and heavy water content, thereby making it necessary to measure the water content in the oil after the separation.

Water Cut Monitors Location Insights

The Water Cut Monitors market segmentation is based on location, onshore and offshore. The offshore sector segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing demand for crude oil has led to an increase in offshore exploration & drilling operations because new oil fields in the offshore Sector are expected to drive the water cut monitors market. For instance, in June 2017, ONGC discovered an oil field with approximately 20 million tons of hydrocarbon reserves in Mumbai High offshore fields. Thus, rising shale oil and deep-water exploration activities are expected to drive the growth of the offshore water cut monitors market during the forecast period.
