Oil Accumulator Market Research Report: Information by Type (Bladder, Piston, Diaphragm), Pressure Rating (Up to 6000 Psi and Above 6000 Psi), Application (BOP & Wellhead Control, Offshore Rig, Mud pumps), and Region – Global Forecast till 2030

Oil Accumulator Market Overview

According to the latest reports, the Oil Accumulator market size is estimated to develop at a 5.50 percent CAGR during the projected period.

An oil accumulator acts as a mechanical device that stores incompressible fluid under colossal pressure. It acts as an energy storage equipment, and it holds the fluid through an external source such as a spring, gas, or piston. They are also known as hydro-pneumatic equipment. The fluid is collected via an external source such as a piston or spring. Furthermore, they are used for various objectives, comprising noise reduction and pulsation dampening. The pressure energy is stored inside the accumulator and discharged according to the requirements of the applications for which the oil accumulator is being utilized. The energy stored in the oil accumulators also functions when a power supply is lost and there is no other power supply source. These accumulators are present in diverse shapes. The most successful oil accumulators are the diaphragm, bladder, and piston. The oil area is segregated from the gas area with a metal piston in the piston oil accumulator.

An accumulator is employed in the drilling rigs in onshore and offshore regions as it acts as a blowout preventer to curb the unexpected influx of oil & gas during drilling operations. The increasing demand for oil accumulators decreases the amount of toxic environmental pollution during oil & gas drilling projects. The ongoing oil & gas exploration activities crosswise the world are boosting the market's growth.

The worldwide Oil accumulator market growth is expected to expand rapidly over the forecast period, owing mostly to the technological age in the oil and gas sector. The possible value of electronic revolution in oil and gas include productivity gains, safer operations, and cost reductions. Oil and gas firms are heavily investing in digital technology to improve next-generation well deliveries, maximize oil output, and maintain equipment. Statoil (Norway), for example, plans to invest USD 240 million in digitalization by 2020, including the establishment of a data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence center. Similarly, Noble Corporation and General Electric agreed to work on the digital rig by leveraging data analytics to increase operating efficiency. These advancements in digital technology usage will boost the oil accumulator industry in the future years. Similarly, the increase in shale gas development in the United States would feel the need for oil accumulators. According to the EIA, the rapid pace of technical improvement in the oil and gas industry will result in higher per-well recoveries and increased shale gas output. According to the EIA, the percentage of natural gas will rise from 34% in 2018 to 39% by 2050 due to increased drilling activity.
