Oilfield Services Market

The offshore segment holds the largest market share in terms of revenue during the forecast period

Offshore segment is fastest-growing segment of oilfield service market and is expected to maintain its dominance in the near future owing to growing investment in subsea oil & gas assets. The major factors driving the growth of the market include rise in the demand for offshore products as they assist in minimizing energy cost and also provide a secure platform to store gas and oil. This also further aids in increasing the efficiency factor, improving well productivity, reservoir performance, and overall life cycle of the well. It is also a low stress environment for offshore operations and provides safety and security at all times. Increasing investment in the offshore sector helps fuel market growth. As an example, the offshore greenfield investment reached USD 93.3 billion in 2019, up from USD 61.5 billion in 2018. Thus, the high offshore investment profile is spurring the demand for OFS, which in turn serves to expand the market.

Drilling Services holds the largest market share during the forecast period

Drilling services are expected to dominate the oilfields services market owing to the recent increase in exploration activities and mass production of shale gases plays. The global economy is expected to support a major increase in oil demand. Strong economies are expected to consume more oil, and demand is expected to grow by an average of 1.2 mb/d per year in forecast period. At the same time, conventional fields have begun to show signs of maturity, resulting in increasing pressure among the top oil and gas operating companies to increase production and meet the growing energy demand. Therefore, other drilling services such as offshore contract drilling, rental of directional drilling tools, measurement while drilling (MWD), and logging while drilling (LWD) are expected to see positive demand.

North America region dominated the Oilfield Services Market during the forecast period

Oil and gas projects in North America are becoming more competitive, due to improved efficiencies and tightening of the supply chain. This has led to lower drilling costs and has made a lot of projects practicable. The recent development of shale plays, horizontal drilling of well, and fracking has resulted in a massive increase in Oilfield Services in the United States region. After Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, Canada has the third-largest crude oil reserves in the world, with 96% of oil sands. The oil available in the country is of high density and contains high sand particles. Due to this, oil transport from the bottom hole of the oil well to the surface requires high pressure and well bore intervention, thus increasing the demand for Oilfield Services in the country. Therefore, North America market is expected to dominate the Oilfield Services (OFS) market during the forecast period.
