Artificial Lift Market Overview

Artificial lift is a method employed to reduce the bottom hole pressure (BHP) on the development to increase the production rate from the well. A positive-displacement downhole pump, such as a modern progressive cavity pump (PCP), can be used to reduce the running pressure at the pump intake. A downhole centrifugal pump can also be used for the same, which could be a part of an electrical submersible pump (ESP) system. A reduced bottom hole moving pressure and a higher flow rate can be achieved with gas lift, in which the thickness of the fluid in the tubes is lowered with an increase in gas to lift the fluids. The artificial lift can generate flow from a well in which no flow is occurring or enhance the flow from a well to generate at a higher rate. Many oil wells will be helpful for the requirement of artificial lift at some time in the life of the field, as well as several gas wells benefit from an artificial lift to take liquids off the formation so gas can move at a higher rate.

An increase in demand for energy and industrialization and a rise in population and urbanization boost the growth of the artificial lift industry.Therefore, the Artificial Lift Market Value is expected to increase in the forthcoming years. Basically, artificial lift is an effective method that is used for increasing pressure in oil wells. Hence, they are used for lifting the oil to the surface for both new and mature oil wells. Furthermore, artificial lifts help boost productivity and increase the ROI by reducing lifting costs.

Hence, the artificial lift can also generate and enhance the flow from a well at a higher rate. Also, they are used for gas wells to separate liquids from the formation. Thus, it helps in moving the gas at a higher rate. The Middle East and Africa are expected to provide significant Artificial Lift Market Opportunities in the forthcoming years.

COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 disease majorly affected the Artificial Lift Industry from 2020 to 2021. The activities at the business reservoirs were reduced, which led to the fluctuation in the price of crude oils. Along with that, the global market Demand heavily affected other several industries. Hence, the declining demand for gas and oil, mainly from China, caused a massive financial disruption during the pandemic period.

Artificial Lift Market Dynamics

• Drivers

There are various drivers, such as the rising production of heavy oil and shale gas. Therefore, the market is expected to achieve significant growth in the forecast period. Along with that, the immense presence of several gas and oil reserves will also drive the Artificial Lift Industry in the upcoming years.

• Restraints

However, several restraints are still evaluated to hamper the global market Revenue. Thus, the low availability of significant skilled professionals is expected to restrain the market growth in the studied forecast period. Along with that, stagnant prices of oils can also have a negative effect on market growth.

• Opportunities

Furthermore, the artificial system is used in many gas and oil wells. As a result, they help in increasing productivity and reducing operational costs. Due to this reason, several companies are using artificial lifts for increasing their return on investments. Along with that, other types of artificial lifts, such as gas lifts, cavity pumps, etc., are expected to open several new Artificial Lift Industry Opportunities.

• Challenges

However, the fluctuations in oil prices can be a challenging factor for the Artificial Lift Market Growth. Also, the pandemic has heavily affected the market growth, which is expected to grow gradually. Hence, key players are also providing the significant boost needed for the market.

• Cumulative Growth Analysis

The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the market is projected to reach around 5.63%. Hence, the Artificial Lift Market Forecast suggests that it will achieve a significant market value in the upcoming years. Apart from the US, countries like Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, etc., also produce oil. However, the Middle East and Africa region comprise a large number of oil reservoirs.

• Value Chain Analysis

Additionally, the redevelopment of several mature oilfields across significant countries is expected to enhance the Artificial Lift Market Trends. Furthermore, the new discoveries for offshore gas and oil across several countries are further expected to boost the value chain.
