Pressure Pumping Global Market Report 2024

The pressure pumping market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $57.3 billion in 2023 to $60.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of hydraulic fracturing, an increase in oil and gas exploration activities, the shale revolution, the surge in global energy demand, market liberalization, adherence to stringent environmental standards, and the emphasis on cost efficiency in oil recovery processes.

The pressure pumping market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $73.55 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the shift towards unconventional resources, the focus on strategic reserves and security, the adoption of sustainable practices, the development of renewable hydrogen production, and the progress in the hydrogen economy. Additionally, factors such as market competitiveness will contribute to this growth. Key trends expected in the forecast period include increased investments in upstream operations, collaborative efforts within the energy industry, the implementation of digitalization in oil and gas, technological innovations, the adoption of horizontal drilling practices, and the integration of remote monitoring and automation.

The anticipated growth in exploration activities within the oil, gas, and mining sectors is poised to propel the expansion of the pressure-pumping market. In the oil and gas industry, the exploration and production (E&P) sector, specifically dealing with the initial phase of energy production, requires specialized systems to lift and pump reservoir oil from producing wells. Pressure pumps play a crucial role in extracting heavy oil and bringing it to the surface. The International Energy Agency reported in 2021 a projected 5 million barrels per day increase in global oil production capacity by 2026. Additionally, the US Energy Information Administration highlighted a 22.23% rise in the deployment of active well service rig counts in the United States from 738 in 2020 to nearly 949 in 2021, driven by escalating oil and gas exploration and drilling operations. Consequently, the pressure-pumping market is being propelled by the escalating exploration endeavors in the oil, gas, and mining industries.

A heightened emphasis on reserve replacement is a driving force behind the pressure-pumping market. Reserve replacement involves replenishing the volume of hydrocarbons extracted by an oil and gas company through exploration and production activities. Pressure pumping technologies play a pivotal role in sustaining, growing, and enhancing hydrocarbon reserves. They find application in unconventional resource development, enhanced oil recovery, and optimizing mature fields. Notably, Shell plc reported a proved oil and gas reserves replacement ratio of 120%, signifying a significant increase from the three-year average of 58%. Similarly, ConocoPhillips achieved a total reserve replacement ratio of 176%, coupled with 6.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (Gboe) in proved reserves for 2022. This increased focus on reserve replacement is expected to drive the pressure-pumping market forward.

Product innovations have emerged as a prominent trend in the pressure-pumping market. Key market players are actively developing innovative products to fortify their market positions. For example, Waterjet Corporation introduced the E-Drive Pro in 2022, a 100% electric servo intensifier pump boasting high efficiency (90%), the ability to withstand physical stress, and the capacity to deliver pressures of up to 6,500 bars with 90% efficiency.

Major companies in the pressure-pumping market are directing efforts toward developing advanced products, including precision-controlled pumping units, to gain a competitive edge. Precision-controlled pumping units, which enable precise and controlled pumping operations, find applications in various industries, including oil and gas and water management. MEDATECH Engineering Services Ltd. introduced the MEDATech Borterra WaterBox in June 2022, recognized as the world's first precision-controlled pumping unit designed for down-the-hole water hammer drilling.

In August 2021, NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc. acquired Alamo Pressure Pumping, LLC (Alamo) to strengthen its market leadership position and enhance its low-cost, low-carbon strategy. Alamo Pressure Pumping, LLC is a US-based manufacturer of pressure pumps.
