Drill Pipe Market by Application (Onshore and Offshore), by Grade (American Petroleum Institute (API) Grade and Premium Grade), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Global Trends & Forecast to 2020
Global oil and gas production has increased over the last five years, from 81.15 Million barrels per day in 2009, to 88.67 Million barrels per day b 2014. This has led to the supply for oil & gas exceeding its demand which has ultimately caused a decline in the prices of crude oil during the last six months of 2014. Consequently, the oil and gas operators have reduced their capital expenditure outlook for 2015 citing concerns over low profit margins. This reduction has mainly impacted the upstream exploration and production (E&P) activities. However, the declining production from onshore oilfields in countries such as Russia, the U.K. and India among others has resulted in higher demand for exploring new offshore reserves. Drill pipe which are used to support drilling and exploration activities are expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% to reach USD 1,133.8 Million by 2020 from USD 940.62 Million in 2015. In this report, 2014 is considered as the base year and 2020 is considered as the forecast year. The report covers the grade of drill pipe as well as the application segments.
Research Methodology
The market for the drill pipe report was arrived by using regional data for the well costs and the relative costs incurred for the drill pipe per well. Finally, the global values were arrived by consolidation of drill pipe markets for individual regions.
The size of the overall market has been determined by forecast techniques based on region-wise E&P capital expenditure along with the well count, rig count, and oil & gas E&P activities in different regions, which have been validated through primary sources. The primary sources considered for the report include market players from both the supply side as well as from the demand side. The primary respondents targeted were from all over the world including the drilling and exploration hotspots such as North America, the Middle East, and Africa among others. The respondents were also working at different designation levels ranging from top level management to technical supervisors.
Market for drill pipe is projected to grow with a CAGR of 3.8% from 2015 to 2020. The crude oil prices are expected to increase gradually in the short term and are expected to reach USD 80/ barrel by 2018. This rebound in oil prices will be spurred by the delay in capacity addition as the oil & gas companies are currently shelving new projects to reduce their capital expenditure. With the increase in the price of crude oil, the investments for E&P activities will also increase which will lead to new projects in regions such as Europe and Asia-Pacific that are looking to overturn their production decline. This will in turn create further demand for the drill pipe in these regions.
This report caters to the requirements of certain stakeholders in the drill pipe market which includes the drill pipe manufacturing companies, oilfield rental companies, drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, industrial associations, and private equity investors among others.

The drill pipe market is forecasted to grow from an estimated value of USD 940.62 Million in 2015 to reach USD 1,133.80 Million by 2020 at a CAGR of 3.8%. The recent downturn in the crude oil prices has resulted in the decline of the exploration & production (E&P) activities all over the world. The spot price of the Brent crude plunged from USD 111.8/barrel in June 2014 to USD 62.3/barrel in December 2014. This dramatic decline is being largely attributed to the over production of petroleum which has increased the oil & gas supply as compared to its demand. The largest oil and gas producing countries included Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the U.S. The low price environment has reduced the operating profits of almost all the oil & gas companies which resulted in reduced capital expenditures in 2015. This budget cut has largely affected the exploratory drilling activities mainly the offshore activities. The oil & gas industry is cyclical in nature and is currently experiencing a downturn. The low crude oil prices have created a demand for optimizing production from existing oilfields and to operate at an economical rate. Apart from this, the low levels of E&P activity are likely to reduce the oil & gas supply in comparison to the demand in next two years which is expected to cause rise in the oil prices again. Also, new oil & gas activities are being undertaken in few regions of the world such as Africa and Latin America which are expected to be developed once the oil prices bounce back above USD 75 per barrel.
Largest application for the drill pipe market is onshore primarily due to the large number of E&P activities being carried onshore as compared to offshore. Moreover, the presence of large unconventional resources onshore in countries such as China, Argentina, Venezuela, Canada, and the U.S. has also boosted the demand for drill pipe market. On the other hand, growing E&P activities in offshore regions within countries such as Angola, Norway, and the U.S. is also one of the reasons behind the growth of the drill pipe market for offshore applications.
The drill pipe market for the API grade is projected to hold the larger market size as compared to the premium grade drill pipes. This is due to the fact that the API grade drill pipes are less expensive as compared to the premium grade drill pipes. Also, these drill pipes can easily cater to the normal drilling environment thus reducing the overall exploration and drilling costs. On the other hand, premium grade drill pipes are generally suitable for abnormal drilling conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosive environments, and Arctic drilling among others. With the increase in the deepwater drilling activities, the market for premium grade drill pipe is expected to grow at a higher CAGR in comparison to that of API grade drill pipe.
North America is expected to continue to be the largest market by 2020. Asia-Pacific is the second largest market owing partly due to the shale related exploration activity in China and the offshore developments in the South China Sea region. The fastest growing market for the drill pipes is Africa which is experiencing some of the largest offshore discoveries in Angola and Tanzania. Many international oil companies (IOCs) such as Statoil ASA (Norway), ENI SPA (Italy), and BG group (U.K.) among others have provided technical expertise in the region to explore offshore reserves more efficiently at optimum costs. Thus, the African drill pipe is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2015 and 2020.
In 2014, European drill pipe market was initially spurred by the exploratory drilling in Russia, the U.K. and Norway. Offshore development in the Kara sea region by Rosneft (Russia) and ExxonMobil (U.S.) was critical for the drill pipe market. However, ExxonMobil pulled out following the economic sanctions on Russia by European Union and the U.S. which slowed down the Arctic exploration project. Moreover, the plunge in the oil prices has also suspended most of the drilling activities in the Europe largely due to the expensive nature of offshore oilfield development.
Shale gas drilling which was one of the major growth contributors to the drilling activities in North America has faced major cutbacks since the oil price collapsed beginning in mid-2014. This is because of the fact that the cost of exploration for unconventional resources is high as compared to that of conventional oil & gas resource. This has led to a decline in exploratory drilling in North America. The U.S. market which accounted for the largest share in the North American drill pipe market also faces the problem of low natural gas prices which reduces the profit margins for the shale gas operating companies.
Drill pipe market is largely controlled by 4 major market players including National Oilwell Varco (U.S.), Hilong Group (China), Vallourec S.A. (France), and Tenaris S.A. (Luxembourg) which control nearly three fourths of the overall market. These companies have the advantage of having large scale manufacturing operations which cater to major oil & gas exploration hotspots such as Africa and Asia-Pacific among others.
