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.
