Overview:
The pressure-pumping market is expected to witness high growth owing to the increasing exploration and production activities of non-conventional shale gas coupled with other operations such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), cementing, sand control services, and acidization. Pressure pumping services are also used in mature reservoirs where the extraction of oil is difficult.
Volatile oil prices are influencing oil producers to adopt technologies such as EOR to increase output from their existing reservoirs and increase their ROI. Moreover, the growing production of shale gas in North America and other regions of the globe is anticipated to fuel the demand for pressure-pumping services over the forecast period (2016–2023). Growing deep-water drilling activities in Mexico are also expected to drive the demand for pressure pumping services over the forecast period. However, environmental concerns regarding water contamination have resulted in stringent regulatory policies in a few regions of Europe. For instance, France has banned shale gas exploration with the concern that the water table can be contaminated with the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. Besides this, high installation costs for pressure pumping, water scarcity, and public resistance are other factors expected to restrain the demand for pressure pumping services over the forecast period (2016–2023).
North America is expected to be the dominant region over the forecast period owing to increasing shale gas exploration in the region.
