Pressure Control Equipment Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising exploration and production of unconventional oil & gas resources, especially in North America
Since its inception, the oil and gas industry has seen rapid changes in the methods, modes, and materials used for production and delivery.With conventional oil and gas reserves maturing, the demand for substitute resources that can efficiently meet rising energy demand is increasing.The discovery of unconventional oil and gas resources has aided in the development of clean and efficient energy sources. Unconventional oil and gas resources are those that do not occur in traditional formations and necessitate specialised extraction or production techniques.Shale gas, tight gas, coalbed methane (CBM), shale oil, tight oil, and natural gas hydrates are examples of unconventional oil and gas resources.Chemically, these resources are identical to conventional oil and gas resources. The distinction is based on their reservoir rock type, oil and gas origin, occurrence state, underground position, or the unique nature of their reservoirs.
Although the remaining global conventional resources are still abundant and sufficient to meet current needs, unconventional oil and gas resources are gradually becoming valuable and attracting more interest as the oil price rises. Unconventional oil and gas resources are being utilized more and more as decades of oil and natural gas production have resulted in extensive use of conventional resources. As per the World Energy Outlook report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), unconventional oil production is projected to increase from 1.8 mb/d in 2008 to 7.4 mb/d by 2030. By 2035, global unconventional oil production is expected to account for 15.3% of the total oil production. Hence, the increasing production of unconventional oil and gas is expected to lead to extensive exploration and production activities, ultimately fueling the demand for pressure control equipment.
The majority of shale reserves are located in North America, with the United States dominating the regional market, as well as in some parts of Europe and Asia.The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that shale production in the United States alone will exceed 100 million barrels per day. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US oil production from seven major shale formations increased by about 29,000 barrels per day (bpd) in January 2020, bringing total shale oil production to 9.14 million barrels per day. The increasing shale oil and gas production in the North Dakota basin, Montana's Bakken formations, and the Permian basin, as well as rising shale developments, are responsible for the US shale boom, which has propelled the country to the world's largest oil-producing country, ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia. Furthermore, Argentina's Vaca Meurta shale basin is one of the world's largest shale reservoirs. Argentina has shale gas reserves of 23 trillion cubic metres and shale oil reserves of 27 billion barrels.
Restraint: Decline in capital expenditure of oilfield operators and service providers
Pressure control equipment demand is tied to exploration, development, and production operations, as well as capital investment by oil and gas corporations. Oil and natural gas price fluctuations have a direct influence on these operations. The fluctuations occur as a result of changes in supply and demand for oil and natural gas, governmental regulations, including policies governing the exploration, production, and development of oil and natural gas reserves, weather, natural disasters, and other factors. Because many large-scale development projects are for a long time, oil and gas companies may reduce or postpone major expenditures based on the perception of long-term low oil and natural gas prices.The prolonged reduction in crude oil prices or expectations of such reduction is expected to hamper the growth of the pressure control equipment market.
Furthermore, the growth of the market is directly affected by the decline in capital expenditures by oilfield operators and service providers. It may lead to a decrease in demand for pressure control equipment.
Opportunities: Emerging offshore opportunities
Offshore exploration, drilling, and production operations necessitate distinct environmental and technological issues than onshore oil and gas activities. Despite the challenges posed by harsh offshore environmental conditions, advances in exploration and production technology for application in ice prone regions, such as the Grand Banks, Bohai Sea, Caspian Sea, Cook Inlet, and Sakhalin Island, have developed economically feasible solutions for the production in these regions.
The global slowdown in oil prices has resulted in downturn in the drilling activities in the past few years, thereby putting further pressure on offshore drillers and service providers; however, opportunities for offshore drillers is expected to grow as the industry tends to recover moderately. For instance, in Argentina, the Ministry of Energy launched an auction process for about 6–10 offshore exploration blocks at the end of 2017, whereas the Colombian government reduced offshore gas royalties and lowered windfall profit fees to support offshore developments in the country. Other activities such as commercialization of Liza oil discovery in the Stabroek offshore block by ExxonMobil in Guyana and growing contracts for exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the deepwater offshore in Mexico are expected to develop new opportunities for offshore drilling.
Challenges: Transition toward adoption of renewable energy sources
The aim of global economies to reduce their carbon footprint and emission of greenhouse gases has fueled the adoption of clean and green energy alternatives. This has led the economies to use renewable energy sources such as solar, wind (onshore and offshore), biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal power for power generation. The growing energy demand due to rapid industrialization and urbanization has further accelerated the transition.
Renewable energy is considered to be the fastest-growing sector globally, with a large number of renewable energy projects receiving more funding than ever before. As the need for clean, sustainable energy increases and renewable technologies become more advanced, more and more projects are expected to be initiated. For instance, the Wudongde Hydropower Station, China, has been under construction since 2015 and began producing power in June 2020. The dam started operational by December 2021. It is expected to offset the use of 12.2 million tons of standard coal and reduce CO2 emissions by 30.5 million tons per year and sulfur dioxide emissions by 104,000 tons per year. The Hornsea Project 2, UK, estimated at the cost of USD 7.8 billion, has been in development since August 2015 and completed by 2022. This project boasts a total installed capacity of 1,386 MW on completion. Countries such as Canada, the US, India, and the UAE are actively investing in renewable energy projects, thus fueling the adoption of renewable energy sources.
The transition toward renewable energy sources, fueled by the increased investments by governments worldwide, is expected to result in a decline in upstream, midstream, and downstream activities and the growth of market players to an extent.
