The anticipated growth of the pipeline maintenance services market is driven by the increasing production of oil and gas. Oil and gas production involves extracting hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs to the surface for various applications. The surge in oil and gas production results from the growing global energy demand, expanding industrialization, and the discovery of new reserves. In the realm of oil and gas production, pipeline maintenance services play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity, reliability, and safety of pipelines by minimizing disruptions, preventing leaks, and optimizing operational efficiency. For example, in February 2024, the Energy Information Administration reported that crude oil production in the United States increased to 13,315 barrels per day in December 2023, showing a 6.68% growth from the 12,138 barrels per day recorded in December 2022. Similarly, natural gas production in the US rose to 128.81 billion cubic feet per day in December 2023, compared to 121.12 billion cubic feet per day in December 2022. Hence, the escalating oil and gas production is a key driver for the growth of the pipeline maintenance services market.

Major players in the pipeline maintenance services market are intensifying their focus on creating innovative products, such as hydrogen-compatible fittings, to secure a competitive advantage. Hydrogen-compatible fittings are specialized components designed to handle the unique properties and requirements associated with hydrogen gas applications safely and effectively. For instance, in September 2023, Pipe Line Development Company (PLIDCO), a US-based pipeline manufacturer, introduced a range of hydrogen-compatible fittings suitable for high-pressure emergency repairs and routine maintenance in onshore and subsea applications. These fittings adhere to quality standards such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) codes, maintaining strict quality control measures. They boast a high-pressure rating, tight seals, and thermal stability, minimizing the risk of leaks, ensuring performance across varying temperatures, and suiting various piping systems, including hydrogen, oil, gas, water, chemical, steam, and slurry pipelines.
