Oil Country Tubular Goods Market Research Report: Information by Manufacturing Process [Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) and Seamless], Grade (API Grade and Premium Grade) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and South America) - Forecast till 2030

Oil Country Tubular Goods Market Synopsis

OCTG Market is projected to rise with CAGR of 7.09% through 2030, due to growing production of sour crude. 

Components used in the production of oil and gas from wells are known as oil country tubular goods (OCTG). The right application of OTCGs can assist reduce the likelihood of any mishap, hazard, or risk, lowering a company's manufacturing costs. OCTGs are tubular goods that are employed in offshore and onshore reservoirs for production and exploration. Drill pipe, casing, and tubing are all part of the OCTG family of seamless rolled goods, which are subjected to loading requirements based on their respective purposes. These are some of the most common tools used in oil and gas exploration. OCTG manufacturing businesses are growing their investments in various places to secure a bigger base of energy resources.

Increased exploration and production (E&P) operations, as well as rising sour crude production, are propelling the Oil Country Tubular Goods Market forward. Due to the growing global economy, oil output in North America, the Middle East, and Africa has been steadily expanding in recent years. Furthermore, because of the high refining expenses of sweet oil, sour crude prices are lower than sweet crude pricing. This is a primary component driving the rise in sour crude production over the anticipated timeframe.

The factors driving the growth of the Oil Country Tubular Goods Market are increasing exploration & production (E&P) activities and growing production of sour crude. North America and the Middle East & Africa are the regions with the highest oil production in the world. Furthermore, a majority of the oil produced in these regions is sour crude. Oil production is increasing at a steady rate in these regions in the past few years due to the improving global economy. Additionally, the sour crude prices are lesser than sweet crude prices due to the high refining costs of the latter. This is a major factor driving the increasing production of sour crude during the forecast period. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, the production of crude oil in North America increased from 20,157 TBPD in 2017 to 22,587 TBPD in 2018. This number is expected to increase further during the forecast period. Moreover, the demand for diesel is growing due to the growth in electricity generation and motor vehicle production. Sour crude is highly corrosive and high-quality OCTGs are used to minimize the risk of leakage into the surroundings. Due to the highly corrosive nature, premium grade products that will be operable for a more extended period in the oil well are mostly used for the production of sour crude.
