Oil & Gas Separation Equipment Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Heat Treater, Degasser, Deliquizer, Scrubber, Three Phase Separator, Two-Phase Separator and Other Products), Configuation (Spherical Separator, Vertical Separator and Horizontal Separator), Technology, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Oil & Gas Separation Equipment Market is accounted for $11.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $17.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. Extracted hydrocarbons contain gas, oil, water, sluggish fluid, sludge, and other particles. These particles must be separated before they can be used. Using pressure vessels, oil, and gas are separated from the overall fluid stream produced by a well. The separator includes the main separating section, baffles, oil settling and water drain sections, oil, water, and gas outputs, and a mist extractor. Oil and gas separation is critical for effective oil and gas transportation and storage since oil and gas must be stored separately.

According to BP statistical review, oil consumption across the U.S. rose by 721 million barrels per day in 2017, as compared to 2016.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rise in exploration and production and substantial investment in refining

Because of the increased number of wells in new fields and deepwater explorations, extra Group Gathering Stations (GGS) are required at the sites. As a result, more separators are required to separate hydrocarbons prior to storage or transmission. Oil companies are investing in new projects and expanding existing ones in ways that will benefit the oil and gas separation equipment industry. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Qatar, among other oil-rich countries, are important hydrocarbon producers in the Middle East and Africa. Leading oil and gas companies, such as Saudi Aramco, constantly invest in exploration and production projects. These factors are projected to enhance market expansion.

Restraint

Strict guidelines for reusing and disposing of generated water

Due to rigorous restrictions limiting the disposal and reuse of generated water for diverse purposes, on-site processing of formation fluids is essential. Increasing the TDS concentration of generated water may also have detrimental environmental consequences. As a result, appropriate treatment of formation fluids prior to disposal or reuse of the waste stream is becoming increasingly important for oil and gas companies.

Opportunity

Growing demand for natural gas in fuels

Natural gas demand is increasing rapidly due to its several benefits, including power generation, fuel, cooking fuel, electricity, and others. According to the Energy Information Administration, the US will consume approximately 30.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2020. The increased need for natural gas will boost the oil and gas separation equipment market, as natural gas is extracted from onshore or offshore wells and separated from various pollutants and crude oil. A three-phase or two-phase separator can be used to separate the gas from the water, oil, and other contaminants.

Threat

Issues with handling solid particles and high costs

The installation of oil and gas separation equipment is prohibitively costly. It may pose a challenge to the market. Depending on the specification and technology, the cost of three-phase separator equipment can range from $2,500 to $1 million per unit. Furthermore, the handling of solid particles and other structural difficulties can stifle expansion in the oil and gas separation equipment business. The increased dissolved solid content in the water produced in tight reserves might have a detrimental influence on the environment, stifling the expansion of the oil and gas separation equipment market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative influence on the oil and gas separator equipment market due to the temporary suspension of oil refineries, which lowered the consumption of oil and gas separators for the separation process on onshore sites. Furthermore, throughout the forecast period, the market is likely to be driven by a shift toward gas-based power generation and increased investments in gas infrastructure. However, the oil and gas separator equipment market is projected to be restrained by severe government laws for the disposal of leftovers such as salts and sand after the separation process.

The three phase separator segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Three Phase Separator segment is expected to have largest share over the projection period. In the oil and gas business, three-phase separators are commonly used to separate petroleum from the water component. The need for three-phase separator equipment is increasing as oil production and oilfield activities increase. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian oil and gas sector will receive USD 25 billion for exploration and production activities by 2022. Moreover, gravity is used in this device to separate the fluid into oil, gas, and another water phase.

The gravitational segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The gravitational segment experienced profitable growth over the forecast period because it is a widely used technique for oil and gas separation and provides effective separation for both onshore and offshore processing. Various oil treatment equipment uses gravitational separation technology to separate water from oil. Furthermore, according to Indian Oil data, more than 20 E&P blocks have been created, with 11 being built internationally and 9 being built domestically. The majority of separation equipment employs gravitational separation technology to provide adequate volume to the gas space. Gravity separators' efficiency is advantageous for defining various separation criteria.

Region with largest share

North America commanded the largest share of the market throughout the dominance period. The oil and gas business in North America is characterized by substantial capitalization of assets in both onshore and offshore reserves. Over the projection period, rising shale plays and coal bed methane production in the region are expected to boost equipment demand. Increased offshore E&P, as well as new explorations in the Bakken oilfields, are likely to drive market expansion in the next few years. Rising shale plays in the region are expected to boost demand for two-phase separators over the forecast period. North America is likely to remain the largest two-phase separator market throughout the projection period due to the region's high capitalization of existing oilfields as well as ongoing E&P in conventional reserves.

Region with highest CAGR

Due to expanding E&P activity in countries such as China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and India, Asia Pacific is predicted to have profitable growth throughout the forecasted period. Over the predicted period, these efforts are likely to boost product demand. Increasing government measures to sustainably use hydrocarbon deposits through financial aid in the form of FDI and tax breaks, particularly in China and India, are expected to promote market penetration in these regions over the next few years.

Key Developments

In March 2022, Schlumberger announced a major contract from Saudi Aramco for integrated drilling and well construction services in a gas drilling project. The project scope includes drilling rigs, gas separations, and logging while drilling.

In January 2021, at the Keskesi East-1 well, in Block 58, off the Suriname Coast, Total and Apache Corporation said that they had found a substantial new offshore oil and gas discovery. This is in line with earlier findings at Maka Central, Sapakara West, and Kwaskwasi.
