Oil and Gas Pipeline Market Trends




  • Pipeline inspection advancements propel market Growth




Advances in pipeline inspection are driving the market CAGR for Oil and Gas Pipeline. Intelligent drone vehicles are one of the pipeline inspection advancements. They are linked to the Internet of Things (IoT) and provide a cost-effective means of visual pipeline inspection. When there are issues or constraints in network access, these drones can operate autonomously. In such cases, the drone collects the data and continues its examination of the pipeline portion inside the constrained network region. When it reaches the pipeline segment where the network is available, it re-establishes the connection and transmits the previously obtained data. Thus, advancements in pipeline inspection technology will improve the safety and security of oil and gas pipelines, increasing their acceptance over other oil and gas transport modes and, as a result, driving the growth of the oil and gas pipeline market.


Furthermore, oil and gas depletion from widely accessible onshore regions is driving oil and gas exploration and production corporations to hunt for less explored areas. Onshore oil deposits are reaching maturity or are nearing depletion. Because of their vast deposits and unexplored potential, deep-water and ultra-deep-water oil and gas wells are attracting the attention of upstream oil and gas firms. Because of growing crude oil prices, the future of deep-water and ultra-deep-water projects is likely to be bright. As a result, an increase in E&P operations will drive market growth throughout the projection period.


In addition, According to the Energy Monitor, Europe is currently building 16 gas pipelines totalling 3,200 kilometres (km) and costing EUR 6.5 billion. This includes EUR 2.1 billion for the Baltic Pipe Project, which is estimated to expand EU gas import capacity by 10 billion cubic metres per year.


Oil and Gas Pipeline Market Segment Insights:


Oil and Gas Pipeline Type Insights


The oil and gas pipeline market segmentation,based on type includescrude oil and natural gas. The natural gas segment accounts for a significant share in the market. Natural gas pipelines transmit gas from stationary facilities to various areas such as export facilities and houses. Transmission systems, gathering systems, and distribution systems are all involved in the process. Natural gas collecting systems, like crude oil gathering systems, collect raw material from producing wells and transfer it via huge transmission pipelines from facilities to refineries and ports.


For instance, In July 2022, the Indian government planned to establish a target of increasing natural gas's contribution of the energy mix from 6.3% to 15% by 2030. From 2020 to 2021, the share of natural gas in India's primary energy mix increased from 6.3% to 6.7%.

Oil and Gas Pipeline Application Insights


The oil and gas pipeline market segmentation,based on application, includes onshore and offshore. Offshore segment has a significant market share. The major component of offshore oil and gas projects is offshore pipes. These pipelines transport oil and gas from subsea wells to the platform and from the platform to the shore for processing and shipment. The enormous offshore pipeline system transports gas or oil from one country to another.


Oil and Gas Pipeline Sector Insights


The oil and gas pipeline market segmentation, based on sector, includes upstream, mid-stream and downstream. During the projected period, the mid-stream segment is expected to command the worldwide oil and gas pipeline market. This is owing to the extensive usage of pipelines for raw material transportation. Furthermore, midstream operations sometimes include aspects from both the midstream and upstream segments. This is especially true for transportation and storage, which raises the overall proportion of the worldwide oil and gas pipeline market.


Oil and Gas Pipeline Regional Insights


By region, the study provides the market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. The North America is expected to have the largest market share due to the presence of nations such as the United States, which has the highest output of natural gas and shale gas when compared to other countries worldwide. Furthermore, this region has highly integrated distribution and transmission infrastructure to transmit natural gas from any state throughout the region.


Further, the major countries studied in the market report are The US, Canada, German, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
