Prominent Market Growth Drivers

• Constant increase in the demand for oil & gas across geographies is predicted to lead to increased exploration and production activities. With increasing well drilling operations, the requirements for casing centralizers are predicted to increase to ensure integrity and stability.
• Wellbore configurations are becoming more complex with continuous advancements in drilling technology. Casing centralizers are required to ensure the correct placement of casing and successful conduction of cementing operations in intricate well designs.

Similar to natural gas, shale gas is explored by horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracking from underground reservoirs and shale rock. Natural gas production from shale is estimated to increase across various regions, including North America. In addition, the exploration of shale gas is predicted to increase in other regions across the globe.

Many companies are investing at a significant rate to match the global requirements for oil & gas. They use several techniques to boost the production capacities of existing oil wells along with exploring new wells with increased capacities. An increase in shale exploration activities for gas, condensate, and oil is projected to contribute to the significance of casing centralizers as unconventional petroleum reservoirs.

Strong structure as well as durability of casing centralizers help save production costs. In addition, they also maintain drilling quality during oil exploration activities. The key function of centralizers is to ensure a strong cement bond between the shaft and casing. Low weight and non-corrosive properties of casing centralizers are projected to assist in the maintenance of drilling products and pipes.

Increased funding by governments in expanding their oil & gas exploration activities while ensuring higher operational standards is projected to drive market growth.

What’s Driving Global Demand for Casing Centralizers?

“Rising Oil and Gas Exploration Activities Worldwide”

Increasing offshore and onshore oil & gas exploration activities are projected to propel demand for centralizers around the world. Rising adoption of centralizers in oil fields is predicted to ensure the quality of cementing and drilling because of their durability and robust structure. Further, casing centralizers ensure drilling quality and assist in saving production costs.

The key function of a casing centralizer is holding cement between the casing along with efficient maintenance of the wall. Centralizers have non-corrosive properties to aid in maintaining drilling and tubing components. Rising use of self-adjusting centralizers, preventing casing contact in the wellbore, and ensuring sufficient clearance during cementing, contributes to higher casing centralizer revenue streams.

Significant expansion of the global crude oil industry is positively influencing the oil & gas sector, prompting changes in operational frequency and production. This is expected to drive increased drilling activities, involving the replacement and installation of arc spring casing centralizers.

For instance :

• As per data provided by the United States EIA (Energy Information Administration), 98.81 million barrels of liquid fuel and petroleum were consumed in July 2022 globally.

“Increasing Government Initiatives Supporting Oil & Gas Exploration and Production”

Governments from different countries around the world are investing heavily in new oil & gas reserves. In addition, multiple projects are launched in many regions to match the rising demand for crude oil that is predicted to further bolster demand for centralizers and drilling equipment.

For instance :

• Egypt, in 2020, announced to invest about US$ 1.4 billion for the exploration of oil and natural gas in nine new locations in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Further, the Department of Petroleum & Natural Resources also announced to drilling of around 23 new wells in these seas.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the incidences of oil & gas exploration owing to technological advancement and economic development. These are projected to push the demand for well cementing and drilling equipment, including casing centralizers. Moreover, local and international government policies are predicted to positively impact evolution in the oil & gas industry, especially concentrating on hydrocarbon poverty eradication, majorly in developing economies.

What Restraints Do Suppliers of Casing Centralizers Face?

“Fluctuating Prices of Natural Gas and Crude Oil”

As a commodity, oil prices undergo continuous fluctuations compared to other assets such as bonds and stocks. Various factors, including OPEC production decisions, actions by independent petroleum-producing countries such as Russia, the strong presence of private oil exploration companies such as ExxonMobil, awareness of environmentally friendly energy solutions, and geographical events, are anticipated to directly influence oil prices. A decrease in demand for natural gas and crude oil is expected to directly impact oil production, thereby negatively affecting the adoption of casing centralizers.

What Market Trends are Start-ups Projected to Capitalize On?

“Emphasis on Technologically Advanced Casing Centralizer Design”

The market is consolidated in nature owing to the introduction of multiple new products by players to strengthen their position. Start-ups are also forecasted to adopt this as a key strategy to secure their position.

New entrants can invest in the development of cutting-edge technologies and the creation of more effective designs with the use of advanced materials and automation to improve centralization processes. Incorporation of data analytics is also estimated to help them gain a competitive edge.
