Oil and Gas Automation Global Market Report 2024

The oil and gas automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.63 billion in 2023 to $22.24 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the rising global demand for energy, a necessity for cost reduction measures, heightened safety concerns within the industry, and challenges associated with exploration and production processes. These factors collectively contributed to the adoption and growth of automation in the oil and gas sector during the historic period.

The oil and gas automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.49 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including a heightened focus on operational efficiency, the increasing complexity of oil and gas operations, a growing adoption of digitalization initiatives, an emphasis on environmental sustainability, and a notable shift towards remote operations. Key trends expected in the forecast period include an increased adoption of advanced analytics, the expansion of Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) integration, the rise of autonomous operations, a shift towards cloud-based solutions, and an increased emphasis on cybersecurity within the oil and gas automation sector.

The growth of the oil and gas automation market is expected to be propelled by the increasing activities in oil and gas exploration. Oil and gas exploration involves the systematic process of searching for underground deposits of oil and natural gas resources. Automation in the oil and gas industry is instrumental in delivering efficient, cost-effective, and safe solutions. It aligns with industry objectives for optimized and sustainable exploration practices through the use of advanced analytics. In 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the annual U.S. crude oil production was expected to average 11.1 million barrels per day (b/d). The EIA anticipated an increase in crude oil production in 2022 by 0.4 million b/d due to increased drilling activities as prices remain at or near $50 per barrel. This surge in oil and gas exploration activities contributes to the growth of the oil and gas automation market.

Leading companies in the oil and gas automation market are focusing on the development of technological solutions, such as actuator solutions, to address environmental concerns and provide advanced features to customers. Actuator solutions are designed to eliminate carbon footprint by implementing advanced technologies that reduce or eliminate emissions of greenhouse gases associated with industrial processes, transportation, and energy production. For instance, Automation Technology Inc., a U.S.-based valve automation manufacturer, introduced a zero-emission actuator solution in August 2023. This electro-hydraulic package aims to provide a comprehensive method for reducing emissions without relying on a pipeline. Unlike traditional pipeline actuators that use pipeline gas to generate electricity, ATI's self-contained zero-emission electro-hydraulic system connects the power supply and actuator in a compact package, eliminating the need for gas as a power source.

In September 2021, Rockwell Automation Inc., a U.S.-based automation company, acquired Plex Systems Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition was part of Rockwell Automation's strategy to expand its portfolio of industrial automation and digital transformation solutions. Plex Systems Limited, based in the UK, is a software company that offers Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions tailored for the oil and gas industry.

Oil and gas automation involves the integration of digital technologies across the oil and gas industry with the aim of enhancing competitiveness, reducing costs, and improving overall efficiency. This approach focuses on improving operational efficiency by streamlining processes, minimizing manual interventions, and optimizing the utilization of resources within the oil and gas sector.

The key components of oil and gas automation encompass hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the physical and electronic components of a computer system, contrasting with the software that provides instructions. The technologies associated with oil and gas automation include distributed control system (DCS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), machine execution system (MES), product lifecycle management (PLM), and programmable logic controller (PLC). These technologies are applied across various processes in the oil and gas industry, including midstream, upstream, and downstream operations. The applications span multiple sectors, including chemical and petrochemical, paper and pulp, water and wastewater treatment, energy and utilities, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and others.
