The oilfield services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $181.42 billion in 2023 to $193.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed in the historic period can be ascribed to heightened global energy demand, an increase in deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling, a surge in unconventional oil and gas production, the expansion of exploration and production activities in emerging markets, and a rise in production output.

The oilfield services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $242.85 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to the rapid adoption of digital technologies in oilfield operations, a concentration on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, the expansion of offshore exploration and production, heightened investments in renewable energy sources, the global recovery of oil prices, and market stabilization. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in oilfield exploration and production, the integration of artificial intelligence and big data analytics in oilfield operations, a focus on environmental sustainability and green technologies, an increase in the use of robotics and automation in oilfield services, and a growing emphasis on data security in oilfield operations.

The anticipated growth of the oilfield services market is expected to be driven by the increasing extraction of shale gas. Shale gas, found trapped inside shale rocks, has seen a boost in production through oilfield services like directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Notably, in March 2022, the Energy Information Administration Report, a US government agency, reported shale volumes at 8.591 million b/d in March, growing to 8.708 million b/d in April, driven by increased activity in the Permian Basin. Consequently, the rising demand for shale gas is a key factor propelling the growth of the oilfield services market.

The growth of the oilfield services market is also expected to be fueled by the increasing global demand for energy. This demand, representing the quantity of energy required and consumed over a specific period in a particular region, sector, or entity, is anticipated to drive heightened exploration and production activities. This, in turn, will create opportunities for oilfield services such as drilling, well completion, and reservoir management to expand and meet the energy needs of a growing global population. As an example, the Energy Information Administration projected a 5% to 32% increase in energy usage in the US industrial sector between 2022 and 2050 in April 2023. Thus, the escalating global energy demand is a significant driver for the oilfield services market.

Technological advancements are emerging as a prominent trend in the oilfield services market, with major companies focusing on developing innovative solutions to bolster their positions. In July 2021, Saipem, an Italy-based oilfield services company, exemplified this trend by launching SUISO, a technological solution for green hydrogen production. This initiative reflects Saipem's commitment to supporting clients in the energy transition by integrating renewable energy sources like floating wind, floating solar, and marine energy. This integrated system powers electrolyzers on existing offshore platforms for green hydrogen production, with the resulting oxygen finding applications in areas such as aquaculture or seaweed production.

Major companies in the oilfield services market are also investing in automation solutions to gain a competitive advantage. Automation involves the integration of technology, sensors, and software to streamline and optimize various processes in oil and gas operations. This reduces manual labor, enhances efficiency, and improves safety and productivity. For instance, in April 2022, Honeywell International collaborated with Petroleum Development Oman to modernize the control system architecture of PDO's Government Gas Plant in northern Oman. This involved deploying technology solutions to upgrade the plant's supervisory control center, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and the ability to meet growing gas demand in Oman.

In September 2021, Schlumberger Ltd., a US-based oilfield services company, acquired Independent Data Services, a Malaysia-based company, aiming to enhance the industry's first cloud-based end-to-end drilling solution. This acquisition also added automated reporting software to Schlumberger's digital drilling offering.
