Wellhead Equipment Market Research Report Information by Component (Hanger, Flange, Master Valve, Choke, and Others), Application (Onshore and Offshore), and Region (North America, Asia-Pacific, South America, and others)– Forecast till 2030

Wellhead Equipment Market Scenario

It is expected that the wellhead equipment market share would grow approximetly at a CAGR of 3.25% during the forecast period 2022-2030. It would reach USD 7.20 billion by the year 2024. One of the major driving forces for the global market is increasing drilling activity. The United States Energy Information Agency has also reported an enhancement in the oil production in the United States in the year 2017 primarily due to rising oil prices that lead to increased drilling activity.The wellhead is a vital component that is used in the gas and oil industry present at the surface of the well that provides a pressure-containing interface for drilling and production equipment. It is used primarily for connecting the tubing and casing to an oil and gas pipeline. A shift toward using an environmentally safer approach to oil and gas recovery has a positive impact on the wellhead equipment market.

Key Players

The key players of global wellhead equipment market are FMC Technologies (US), Baker Hughes (US), Weir (UK), Aker Solutions (Norway), Cameron International Corporation (US), Stream-Flo Industries Ltd (Canada), Wellhead Systems, Inc. (US), Oil States International, Inc. (US), National Oilwell Varco (US), Shanghai Elim Petroleum Machinery (China), Forum Energy Technologies (US), and Brace Tool (Canada).

Industry Updates

The major players in this wellhead global market are the FMC technologies, and Baker Hughes, these are US-based companies. Similarly, other companies such as Weir ( UK), Cameron International Corporation, Aker Solutions, and Stream Flo Industries Ltd. In November 2021, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company has announced an effective investment of up to rupees USD 6 billion to enhance the drilling growth to boost the crude oil production capacity to nearly 5 billion barrels per day by the year 2030.

Similarly, due to ongoing increased onshore development in North America and also in the Asia Pacific region, it is expected that the onshore segment would dominate the market during the forecast period. India is also planning to reduce crude oil imports by nearly 10% by the year 2022. Also with the new licensing policy, the government has made the entry of foreign companies into the market easier.

Market Segmentation

Global wellhead equipment market has been segmented based on component, application, and region. On the basis of component, the market is classified into hanger, flange, master valve, choke, and others. The hanger segment is leading the market and has the largest market share as it is an essential component of wellhead equipment system and is used in multi-bowl wellheads. The hanger system is generally of two types, namely, a slip and seal casing hanger assembly and mandrel style casing hanger. The global market is further segmented based on application, including onshore and offshore. The onshore segment of the global wellhead equipment market is estimated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

A wellhead is an essential component used in the oil & gas industry, at the surface of a well to provides pressure containing interface for the drilling and production equipment. It is mainly used to connect the tubing and casing to an oil & gas pipeline. Casing heads, casing spools, tubing head spools, and crosses are some of the components of a wellhead equipment.   The shift towards implementing an environmentally safe approach in oil & gas recovery, would positively impact the wellhead equipment market.

Global Wellhead Equipment Market

Global market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period owing to an increase in the exploration and production activities, across the world. According to the IEA, offshore oil production is estimated to reach 27.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe) by 2040 from 26.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe) in 2016.  This would result in an increase in the demand for wellhead equipment, globally. Increasing interest in exploration of unconventional resources, such as shale oil, coal bed methane will also add to the growth of the global wellhead equipment market. North America holds the largest share in the market due to the rising importance of unconventional oil and gas reserves in the countries, such as the US, Canada, and Mexico.
