Global Artificial Lift Market Size is valued at USD 6.57 Bn in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 10.12 Bn by the year 2031 at a 5.03% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Artificial lift is a technique used to reduce bottom hole pressure (BHP) on the development in order to increase the well's production rate. You can lower the running pressure at the pump intake by using a positive-displacement downhole pump, like a contemporary progressive cavity pump (PCP).
It can also be constructed using a downhole centrifugal pump as part of an electronic submersible pump (ESP) system. For production, the majority of new and existing fields require some type of artificial lift. As a result, practically all of the major corporations use artificial lifts on a regular basis in almost all wells. As new exploration fields increase, the artificial lift system industry is projected to benefit significantly.
However, the COVID-19 crisis disrupted oil demand and impacted a wide range of businesses, including coal and renewable oil and gas. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasted a drop in crude oil production in 2020 and 2021 due to decreased demand for petroleum products. The unprecedented drop in oil prices caused by the Covid crisis resulted in a sharp drop in Chinese demand for oil, with repercussions for the oil and gas industry. As a result, the market suffered throughout the pandemic period.
Some major the Artificial Lift Market Players are:
The Artificial Lift Market is segmented on the basis of type, mechanism, well type, and application. Based on type, the market is segmented as rod lift, electric submersible pumps, progressive cavity pumps, gas lift systems, and others. The mechanism segment includes pump-assisted, positive displacement, dynamic displacement, and gas assisted. By well type, the market is segmented into horizontal and vertical. The applications segment includes onshore and offshore.
The pump-assisted category is expected to hold a major share of the global Artificial Lift Market in 2022. The rising usage of electric submersible pumps and progressive cavity pumps can be ascribed to the strong growth rate of the pump-assisted market, which includes both positive displacement and dynamic displacement pumps. Technological developments in these pumps will have an additional favourable impact on the growth of the pump-assisted mechanism market.
The personal care segment is likely to grow at a rapid rate in the global Artificial Lift Market. Due to offshore oil wells having unexplored reserves, artificial technologies such as electrical Submersible pumps (ESP) and progressive cavity pumps (PCP) are commonly used. Because of their remote locations, harsh surroundings, and complex reservoir characteristics, offshore fields provide unique problems. Artificial Lift systems are critical in offshore applications for increasing production rates, maintaining well integrity, and optimizing operations.
The North America Artificial Lift Market is expected to register the maximum market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The majority of demand comes from the US. This trend is projected to continue as global prices rise, which may aid in the continuation of mature oil resources. Furthermore, the oil and gas industry in the United States is expected to provide a significant impetus to the submersible pump market in the future years due to the broad investments planned in oil and gas projects. In the long run, such robust growth in new projects is expected to create a demand for new ESPs and gas lift systems, i.e., artificial lift systems in the US.
