Offshore Decommissioning Market: Fluctuations in Oil Prices Boost Offshore Decommissioning Activities

 According to the new market research report "Offshore Decommissioning Market by Service (Well Plugging & Abandonment, Platform Removal, Conductor Removal) Depth (Shallow, Deepwater) Structure (Topsides, Substructure) Removal (Leave in Place, Partial, Complete), and Region - Global Forecast to 2027", published by MarketsandMarkets™, the Offshore Decommissioning Market size is expected to grow from an estimated USD 5.2 billion in 2021 to USD 8.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.4%. Aging offshore oil & gas infrastructure and maturing fields are driving the offshore decommissioning industry. Low oil prices of the past couple of years have made it even more difficult to maintain low production mature reserves, driving companies to accelerate decommissioning plans for such oil & gas fields.

The well plugging & abandonment is expected to be the largest contributor to the offshore decommissioning market

The market has been segmented by service type, water depth, structure, removal type, and region. The market has been further segmented, by service type, 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 (includes topside, jacket removal, subsea), pipeline and power cable decommissioning, materials disposal, and site clearance.

The well plugging and abandonment service segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2020 and is also projected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. Well plugging & abandonment involves the safe and permanent closure of production or exploration wells and is one of the biggest and most critical activities in any decommissioning project.

The shallow water subsegment is estimated to have the highest growth rate in the offshore decommissioning market

Based on depth, the market has been segmented into shallow water and deepwater segments. The application of offshore decommissioning in shallow water projects is estimated to lead the market, both in terms of market value and growth. The shallow water basins on the UK Continental Shelf and the Norwegian North Sea will play a major role in driving the Offshore Decommissioning Market.

Shallow water operations are typically less expensive compared to deepwater operations, and a majority of the old and aging offshore installations are in shallow waters. Thus, the market for offshore decommissioning will be the largest in shallow water projects.

Europe is expected to dominate the global offshore decommissioning market

Europe was the largest market, by value, for offshore decommissioning in 2020, driven mainly by activities in the UK, Norway, and Netherlands. The UK offshore industry leads other regions in terms of well-developed and mandatory decommissioning guidelines. The production of oil, gas liquids, and liquid products in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) peaked at around 1,027.5 million barrels in 1999. Ever since the country has struggled to offset the decline in production with both onshore and offshore fields. With a large number of fields in the country near the end of their lifecycles, the market in the UK is projected to be the largest for offshore decommissioning during the forecast period. Authorities in the region are taking active steps to commit operators to decommission old infrastructure by providing expertise, policy support, and financial incentives.

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.

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.

Offshore Decommissioning Market Driving Companies to Accelerate Decommissioning Plans for Oil & Gas Fields

The offshore decommissioning market is projected to reach USD 8.76 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.05%, from 2017 to 2025. Europe is estimated to be the largest market for offshore decommissioning, followed closely by North America. The European market is also projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period. The growth of the offshore decommissioning market is driven by ageing offshore infrastructure, maturing fields and low international oil prices.

The European market is estimated to be the fastest growing market for offshore decommissioning from 2017 to 2025. This growth is attributed to increasing decommissioning activities and planned projects, particularly for fields on the British continental shelf. A strong regulatory environment with set guidelines and support from government agencies is an important factor in the growth of the offshore decommissioning market in the region.

Based on the types of offshore decommissioning services, the market has been segmented 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 (includes topside, jacket removal, subsea), pipeline and power cable decommissioning, materials disposal, and site clearance. The well plugging and abandonment segment is estimated to have the largest market share, by value, in 2016, and this trend is likely to continue during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025, in view of demand in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Since a large number of offshore wells have already reached the maturity phase, the market for well plugging and abandonment is likely to grow fast as operators look to shut wells that are less productive.

The markets in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean are projected to witness steady growth of the offshore decommissioning market. Countries in the Asia-Pacific, such as China, Indonesia, and Malaysia have a significant number of offshore platforms that are eligible for decommissioning. In Latin America and the Caribbean, maturing wells in Brazil, Colombia, and Trinidad and Tobago offer decommissioning opportunities. There is an increasing focus on offshore oil & gas production in Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, which would bring future opportunities for the offshore decommissioning market.
