Artificial Lift System Market Size

Artificial Lift Systems Market Analysis

The market for artificial lift systems is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.5 % during the forecast period of 2022 - 2027. Artificial lift is a method used to lower the producing bottom hole pressure (BHP) on the formation to obtain a higher production rate from the well. It supports oil & gas to move upward when the natural drive (primary recovery) is not enough to push the oil to the surface. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the market by lowering the oil & gas demand in 2020. Oil companies in North America working on Shale Plays such as Whiting Petroleum Corp had either declared bankruptcy or announced plans to restructure due to a sharp decline in rices due to COVID-19. As of 2021, mature fields account for a significant percentage of the world's oil and gas production. These mature fields need a pumping system, i.e., the artificial lift system. The need for enhanced recovery rates, a growing number of wells that require pressure support for extraction, increasing demand for energy & petrochemicals, and technological advancements that are enabling companies to economically extract oil from challenging areas are some of the factors driving the growth of artificial lifts system market. However, the advancement in smart water flooding and various IOR technology are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

• An electric submersible pump (ESP) is preferred as the most suitable choice for usage in large oil wells that reached or crossed their peak oil production phase. In addition, the availability of abundant resources, coupled with an increase in investments, is expected to boost the offshore electric submersible pump market. This, in turn, is expected to drive the artificial lift market during the forecast period.
• The majority of the new fields and the older fields require an artificial lift of some form for production. Hence, all the major companies are regularly adopting artificial lifts in almost all wells. As the number of new exploration fields is increasing, these fields are expected to provide major opportunities for the artificial lift system market.
• North America dominated the market across the globe in 2021, with the majority of the demand coming from the United States. This trend is expected to continue as the rise in global prices may further help in continuing the mature oil fields.
