Smart Oilfield Market Dynamics

Drivers :

  • Increasing energy demand across the globe is benefiting the market growth

    Smart oilfield technologies have the potential to play a significant role in meeting the growing energy demand sustainably. There is a significant growth in the energy demand across the globe owing to the increasing industrialization in both developed as well as developing economies worldwide. The growth in industrialization, population, and industrialization, is driving the demand for energy across the globe, particularly for oil and gas. The surge in the demand for energy across the globe is presenting significant strain on the oil and gas industry to meet production targets efficiently, economically, and sustainably. Smart oilfield technologies provide solutions to address these challenges, making oil and gas production more efficient, safer, and environment friendly by tracking the carbon emission from the processes. For instance, according to the data published by the Our World in Data Organization, the global consumption of natural gas increased from 38,603 TWh in 2020 to 40,671 TWh in 2021. Furthermore, according to the report published by U.S Energy Information Administration in September 2019, global energy consumption will increase by 50% from 2018 to 2050, owing to the increasing demand from industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors across the globe.

    Therefore, the growth in energy demand across the globe will significantly improve the demand for oil and gas, thus leading to improvements in production efficiency across the oilfield sector. Hence, the increase in energy demand is boosting the demand for smart oilfield technologies to ensure efficient production output of oilfields. This, in turn, is benefiting the market growth.

  • Increasing investments in oil and gas technologies is boosting the growth of the market

    The energy demand is increasing rapidly across the globe, which is influencing the demand for oil and gas for energy production. Various oil and gas producing companies are compelling to explore reserves, optimize production and maximize recovery from existing fields. This high demand for energy across the globe is leading to significant growth in the investment in smart oilfield technologies and solutions, which offer numerous benefits and advantages in the pursuit of maximizing returns on their investments.

    For instance, in November 2019, China announced an investment of US$ 75 billion in the Middle East oil and gas projects. These high investments across the oil and gas projects are improving the adoption of new technologies, and thus driving the growth of the global smart oilfield market. Furthermore, in March 2022, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, which is also known as Sinopec announced an investment of USD 31.10 billion in 2022 for the upstream production of crude oil across the Inner Mongolia region. Hence, the increasing investment across the oilfield is accelerating the demand for smart oilfield technologies. This, in turn, is driving the growth of the market.

Restraint :

  • Low Awareness regarding the benefits and uses of smart oilfield systems is restraining the market growth

    Smart oilfield has emerged as a promising solution for oilfield production optimization, ensuring safety, and real-time data processing technology. However, despite the potential of smart oilfield technologies, the lower awareness regarding the benefits and uses of smart oilfield systems is expected to restrain the growth of the global smart oilfield market. The oil and gas industry usually requires a high amount of investment in the establishment of an operational plant. Due to this, the industry becomes highly conservative and resistant to the implementation of newer technologies, that require significant changes in the existing workflows. Moreover, the lack of awareness about the potential advantages of these technologies exacerbates the resistance to change and thus it is expected to hinder the growth of the global smart oilfield market.

Opportunities :

  • Digital transformation and increasing automation in the oil and gas industry will favour the market growth

    Smart oilfield is a term used to describe the use of digital technologies. Digital transformation and increasing automation are two key trends that are driving the development of smart oilfields. Digitalization of the equipment, apparatus, and instruments in the oil and gas industry across the globe is leading to the advancement in the metering, measurement, control, and automation of the various processes in the industry. This increasing automation across the oil and gas industry is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), predictive and self-learning systems which help to improve productivity.

    Artificial intelligence helps to reduce the gap of skilled workforce shortages. This adoption of automation and digital technologies in the oil and gas industry provides various benefits such as reduction in cost, provides real-time data, improve efficiency and output, and others. For instance, in June 2022, ABB announced a partnership with Thick Gas, which is a gas distribution company, for the automation of operations across ABB's gas network at several locations. This prominent factor is supplementing the Smart Oilfield market.
