Well Intervention Global Market Report 2024

The global well intervention market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.93 billion in 2023 to $9.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth observed in the historic period of well intervention can be attributed to various factors, including a focus on reservoir management and optimization, considerations of economic viability, efforts toward production enhancement, adherence to regulatory compliance, and the need for effective emergency response and well control. Additionally, the maturing state of oil and gas fields played a significant role in driving advancements and interventions in well operations during this period.

The global well intervention market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.06 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for well intervention is expected to be driven by factors such as the global energy transition, increased emphasis on environmental sustainability, expansion of offshore activities, effective reservoir pressure management, and the growth in unconventional resources. Additionally, major trends in the forecast period are expected to include the adoption of an integrated well services approach, advancements in intervention technologies, the implementation of asset integrity and maintenance programs, market consolidation, and partnerships, as well as a growing demand for real-time intervention data.

The rising global demand for energy is anticipated to drive the growth of the well-intervention market. Energy, defined as the capacity of a system to perform work, heavily relies on fossil fuels and petroleum products, which currently serve as the primary energy sources worldwide. The surge in energy demand consequently amplifies the need for petroleum products, thereby stimulating the well-intervention market. In 2021, reports from the International Energy Agency highlighted a 4.6% increase in global energy demand compared to 2019, with a 6% rise in global oil demand and a 3.2% increase in natural gas demand compared to 2020 levels.

The ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources is poised to propel the well-intervention market. Renewable energy sources are sustainable reservoirs replenished naturally, and optimizing geothermal wells is an integral part of well intervention in these sources. Maintaining their performance ensures sustained energy production and resource longevity. Forecasts from the International Energy Agency suggest that by 2026, nearly 95% of the increase in global power capacity will be from renewables. Notably, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is projected to contribute more than half of this expansion, indicating a significant shift towards renewable energy sources that will drive the well-intervention market.

In the well-intervention market, technological advancements represent a prominent and growing trend. Key players in this sector are introducing innovative technologies to maintain their market standing. For instance, in November 2021, Expro, an energy service provider based in the United States, introduced Galea, the world's first fully autonomous well-intervention system. This groundbreaking product is designed to assist oil companies in boosting production while simultaneously reducing maintenance and intervention costs, health, safety, and environmental risks. Galea operates in fully autonomous mode by deploying a tool string into the well based on either scheduled intervals or in response to the well's conditions. Its remote monitoring capabilities enable continuous oversight from anywhere globally, significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with intervention activities. Galea is particularly advantageous for multi-well platforms requiring ongoing interventions, such as paraffin wax scraping activities.

Leading enterprises within the well-intervention sector are introducing eco-friendly initiatives such as i-Winch to mitigate carbon emissions. The i-Winch conversion service stands as a sustainable remedy aimed at converting conventional diesel-hydraulic winches into fully electric-driven units. Paradigm, a US-based company specializing in upstream oil and gas technology and services, launched i-Winch in June 2021, presenting a sustainable conversion service that revolutionizes existing diesel hydraulic intervention winches into intelligent, electric-driven systems. Stemming from their E-Winch series, i-Winch meets the industry's demand for emissions reduction by repurposing traditional winches, offering heightened efficiency, and emphasizing sustainability. This transformation extends the winch's operational lifespan by a minimum of ten years, bolsters safety features, enables remote operation, and significantly reduces costs while fostering a diminished carbon footprint.

In March 2021, Baker Hughes, a prominent US-based industrial service company, completed the acquisition of Altus Intervention for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition amplifies Baker Hughes' capabilities in oil and gas operations by augmenting its technological prowess and enriching its portfolio with high-efficiency solutions. Altus Intervention, headquartered in Norway, specializes in delivering well-intervention services, further bolstering Baker Hughes' position within the industry.
