Oil and Gas Asset Integrity Management Services Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2023-2030 - By Product, Technology, Grade, Application, End-user, Region: (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa)
The global oil and gas asset integrity management (AIM) services market is poised for significant growth as investments in the oil and gas industry continue to surge to meet escalating demand. AIM services, which encompass inspection, risk assessment, maintenance, obsolescence mitigation, corrosion services, process safety, mechanical integrity services, and health, safety & environmental strategies (HSE), play a crucial role in ensuring optimal production without compromising on safety, health, and environmental requirements.
The growing realization among oil and gas companies of the importance of improved operations and profitability is driving the demand for AIM services. As numerous wells around the world mature, oil and gas companies are focusing on exploring new oilfields and enhancing the recovery rates of existing fields to meet future demands. However, technological challenges and insufficient support from some companies are limiting the full potential of AIM services, impacting the growth of the global oil and gas AIM services market.
One of the significant factors driving the demand for AIM services is the aging infrastructure in the oil and gas industry. Many assets, such as rigs, offshore platforms, and pipelines, are being used well beyond their design life. AIM services providers play a vital role in maintaining these assets regularly to ensure maximum productivity while prioritizing safety and reliability.
Despite the positive outlook, the market growth is restrained by high CAPEX/OPEX costs and falling oil and gas prices, which have led to reduced spending on AIM services by major providers worldwide.
Oil and Gas Downstream Sector Set for Notable DevelopmentsThe oil and gas refineries and other processing plants are witnessing a significant demand for asset integrity management services to optimize asset performance, conduct assessments, improve equipment reliability, enhance plant safety, and increase profitability. The global refining sector is experiencing increased demand for refined products from the chemical and petrochemical industries, leading to higher margins for oil refiners. As refineries expand their capacities and adopt more complex designs, the need for effective AIM services becomes paramount to prevent accidents and ensure optimal performance.
North America Dominates, Asia Pacific Holds High-Growth OpportunitiesNorth America, with its aging oil and gas infrastructure, remains a dominant market for oil and gas AIM services. The region has a large number of oil and gas pipelines, platforms, and facilities that are more than 40 years old, leading to a continuous demand for AIM services. However, the Asia Pacific region, with countries like China and India accounting for a majority of global oil consumption, is expected to witness remarkable growth in the AIM services market. In the coming years, Asia Pacific is likely to surpass North America in terms of growth rate.
Competitive Landscape and Notable ContractsSome of the key players in the global oil and gas asset integrity management services market include SGS SA, Intertek Group plc, Applus+, Element Materials Technology, DNV GL, TWI Ltd, Bureau Veritas S A, Fluor Corporation, Technip FMC, Aker Solutions ASA, Worley Parson Limited, Oceaneering International Inc., GE, and SRJ Technologies.
In August 2021, Oceaneering International, Inc. secured a new multi-year contract in Papua New Guinea (PNG) with a major operator, and SRJ Technologies won a supply contract with BoltEx inventory for facilities owned by Qatar Petroleum. Furthermore, Chevron Australia Pty Ltd awarded Worley a contract for the provision of engineering and construction management services in support of Chevron's Jansz-Io Compression (J-IC) project.
As the global oil and gas industry continues to witness substantial investments and the need for improved operations, the demand for asset integrity management services is expected to rise, creating lucrative opportunities for AIM service providers worldwide.
