Well Intervention Market Driven By New Oilfield Discoveries And Heavy Investments In Offshore Oil & Gas Assets: Fact.MR Study

A recently published report by market research and competitive intelligence provider, reveals that the global well intervention market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period (2021-2031), reaching US$ 14 Bn by 2031. Heavy investments in the discovery of new oilfields reserves on the account of rapid depletion of existing reserves and an incessant demand for oil and gas are anticipated to translate into the growth of the well intervention market.

Historical analysis of the market establishes that well intervention services demand surged at approximately 6% value CAGR from 2016-2020. Rising subsea well counts and the need to improve recovery rates from developed fields are likely growth stimulators. Prospects contracted substantially during COVID-19, as cessation of energy exploration projects amid imposition of strict lockdowns resulted in limited output. However, as curbs eased, projections have gradually recovered.

The global market of well intervention is likely to gain high traction in the near future, with many E&P companies and oilfield operators shifting their investments and exploration efforts toward offshore assets to uncover large discoveries. So far, over 70% of new discoveries are deemed to be found in offshore areas.
