Offshore Decommissioning Market is Poised to Witness Growth in the Global Market !!

The global offshore decommissioning market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.05%, from 2017 to 2025, to reach a market size of USD 8.76 billion by 2022. Offshore decommissioning is plugging the oil and gas wells which are matured and are non-productive. Maturing oil and gas fields and aging infrastructure in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico are driving the offshore decommissioning market. Low crude oil prices are other major driver for this market.

The report segments the market, on the basis of service, into project management, engineering and planning, permitting and regulatory compliance, platform preparation, well plugging and abandonment, conductor removal, mobilization and demobilization of derrick barges, platform removal, pipeline and power cable decommissioning, materials disposal, and site clearance. The well plugging and abandonment segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016, driven by demand from the European market. 


Well plugging and abandonment: The largest service segment of the offshore decommissioning market
Well plugging and abandonment constitutes the largest segment of the offshore decommissioning market, by service, in terms of value. Well plugging and abandonment contributes up to 45% of total decommissioning cost of any project. During this activity, detailed well data is collected and prepared for plugging using rig or rig less methods. Demand from the European market is projected to drive the market for well plugging and abandonment.

Offshore Decommissioning Market


The European market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR, from 2017 to 2025.
Europe is the largest market, by value, for offshore decommissioning, followed by North America. The European market is also projected to be the fastest growing market, during the forecast period, owing to mature oil and gas fields, particularly in the U.K. and the North Sea. The impending cessation of production in major oil and gas fields would ensure that the European market would grow at the highest pace. Europe is estimated to witness the highest offshore decommissioning spending, with its well-developed regulatory framework compared to other regions.


The key players operating in the offshore decommissioning market include Amec Foster Wheeler ASA (France), Aker Solutions (Norway), AF Gruppen S.A. (U.S.), Tetra Technologies (U.S.), John Wood Group PLC (U.K.), Able UK (U.K.), DNV GL (Norway), Heerema Marine (The Netherlands), Allseas Group (Switzerland), DeepOcean Group (The Netherlands) and Technipfmc PLC (U.S.), among others.
