Well completion is the process of making an oil
and gas well ready for production after drilling operations. The
completion process includes running the production tubing, setting the down hole
tools, and numerous other operations, as well as perforating and stimulating as
required, which are carried out for making the well ready for the production. Increasing
production and exploration activities and an increasing number of rigs worldwide
are expected to augment the market growth. For
instance, in November 2019, KCA Deutag received contracts of around US$ 460
million for drilling and exploration operations in the Middle East, Europe, and
Africa.
Moreover, ONGC plans to increase crude oil production from
22.6 million tons in 2017 to 26.42 million tons in 2022. In terms of geography, the well
completion equipment and services market is divided into six regions,
such as North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East,
and Africa. North America is expected to witness substantial growth in the market
due to the increasing production and exploration activities in the
region. For instance, in 2019, North America produced around 24.61 million
barrels of oil per day. However, high drilled but uncompleted well count in the
United States is expected to hamper the well
completion equipment and services market growth.
Asia Pacific is also expected
to witness robust growth in the market due to increasing energy demand from emerging
economies such as China, and India. India’s demand for energy is expected to
double from 700.50 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) in 2015 to 1,516 MTOE
in 2035, according to India Brand Equity Foundation. However, key players
operating in the well completion equipment and services market are
focused on increasing the production capacities
to meet the increasing energy demand of this region.
Furthermore, the increasing focus
towards the deepwater oil and gas reserve is expected to propel the completion
equipment and services market growth. Moreover, offshore oil and gas production
and exploration activities have considerably grown over the last few decades. the
increasing offshore oil and gas production and exploration activities across
the world are expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, the
Brazilian government is aiming 2 MMb/d (Million Barrels per Day) of additional
oil production by 2027, especially from deepwater areas.
