Subsea Well Access System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Blowout Preventer (BOP) Type (Annular (BOP) and RAM (BOP)), Technology (Rig-Based and Vessel Based), Location (Shallow Water, Deep Water and Ultra-deep Water), End User (Offshore and Onshore) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Subsea Well Access System Market is accounted for $3.97 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $5.89 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.79% during the forecast period. A subsea well is one in which the entire production infrastructure is situated on the ocean floor. Facilities that are submerged in water are generally referred to as ""Subsea."" It can also be described as a well that was dug offshore (within the sea). The prefix is also used for projects, fields, and development. The use of a subsea well access system increases production effectiveness and safety precautions.

According to BP statistical review of world energy 2020, the oil consumption grew by an average of 1.4 million barrels per day i.e., by 1.5%, which leads to drive the subsea systems market.

Market Dynamics

Driver:

Expansion of exploration activities in the oil & gas industry

The growing demand for increased production from the reserves and the rise in safety-related worries are both likely to have an impact on the global market for subsea well access systems. The global market for subsea well access systems is anticipated to grow as exploration activities in the oil and gas sector expand. The market is predicted to grow as offshore drilling and production activities increase. The demand for heavy intervention systems in the aging subsea wells has also increased as a result of an increase in offshore exploration, production, and drilling activities.

Restraint

Concerns with high-temperature interventions

Successful High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) well intervention continues to be hampered by the impact of high temperatures on equipment. The challenges these wells pose to oil and service companies are distinctive. The biggest challenge is drilling and finishing a well in 4,000- to 7,500-foot-deep water. The depth makes it necessary for wells to flow at progressively higher rates without harming the wellbore, which raises the wellhead's temperature. The conditions around shale wells, which include battering from wind, cold temperatures, constant moisture from storms, and mist from high winds, are some of the roughest in the industry in North America. Such aspects are hindering the market's expansion.

Opportunity

New off shore discoveries

Operators have heavily shifted to offshore exploration as a result of the growing demand for oil production, and they are continuously searching the deep seas for undiscovered oil reserves. The primary factors influencing exploration and production operators to explore new offshore regions are the unprecedented advancements in exploration technology for deep water exploration and production activities, declining oil reserves in shallow water, and the commercial viability of projects.

Threat

Strict environmental regulations & fluctuating oil prices

The number of maturing wells has increased globally, which has increased demand for well access systems and the BOP market. However, factors like fluctuating oil prices, strict environmental regulations on energy activities, and difficulties with high temperatures are anticipated to limit market growth globally. The market price of oil is a major concern for the subsea oil production sector. The economics of oil production and oilfield development can be disrupted when factors beyond the control of production companies affect oil prices frequently.

Covid-19 Impact

The market for subsea well access systems has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The demand for subsea well access systems has decreased as a result of the pandemic because exploration and production activities have been hampered by the global lockdown imposed by various governments. Oil and gas demand has decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic because it has had an impact on industrial and transportation activities. As a result, investment in exploration and production activities has decreased. Due to the lockdown, the North American and European regions, where the major producers of subsea well access systems are located, are experiencing supply chain issues.

The Rig-Based segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, it is predicted that the rig-based segment will hold the largest share of the market. Heavy intervention has used rig based subsea well access system. The development of the rig-based well access system increased as a result of the increase in production activities in the offshore sector. It takes less time and money to complete the process. The market for rig-based well access systems in the subsea well access system is predicted to grow as a result of factors like the rising demand from deep offshore oil and gas fields.

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

In terms of revenue share, onshore applications dominated the global market for subsea well access systems and were anticipated to witness lucrative growth during the projection period. The growth is attributed to the widespread use of rig- and vessel-based systems for onshore operations. Drilling, completions, cementing, and perforating services are the main onshore activities. Depending on how deep into the reservoir the drilling is going, rotary rigs are used for drilling, and conventional mud pumps or cementing machinery are used for completion operations.

Region with largest share

North American region is anticipated to register the largest share during the forecast period. The maturing of offshore oilfields in the Gulf of Mexico, which has generated demand for a rig-based well access system, is the primary factor that will likely cause North America to dominate the global subsea well access system market during the forecast period. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the market in the region will benefit greatly from recent shale discoveries in Canada and Mexico.

Region with highest CAGR

Due to China's high hydrocarbon production and recent discoveries, Asia-Pacific is predicted to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. One of the biggest consumers of oil and gas in the Asia Pacific region are developing nations like India and China. The expansion of drilling projects and oil exploration activities offshore, which will increase demand for the subsea well access system, is anticipated to provide the market in the region with a wealth of profitable opportunities.

Key players in the market

Some of the key players profiled in the Subsea Well Access System Market include Aker solutions, Baker Hughes Incorporated, Circle T Services & Rental Ltd., Diamond Offshore drilling Inc., GMC Deepwater, Grill-Quip Inc., Halliburton Corporation, Helix, Island Offshore, KIT Oil and Gas Equipment Industry, National Oil Varco, Riverstone holdings, Schlumberger Ltd., Subsea 7, TechnipFmc Technologies Inc., Tenaris, Vallourec and Weatherford International Ltd.

Key Developments

In March 2023, Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, and HIF Global, the world’s leading eFuels company, announced their agreement to cooperate on the development of technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere (“CO2 Direct Air Capture” or “DAC”). More specifically, HIF Global and Baker Hughes intend to test Baker Hughes’ Mosaic DAC technology pilot units to accelerate DAC deployment at commercial scale.

In December 2022, Aker BP and its partners’ submission of plan for development and operation (PDO), Aker Solutions and alliance partners today sign contracts for the field development projects Yggdrasil (formerly NOAKA), Valhall PWP-Fenris and Skarv Satellites. For Aker Solutions, these projects will combined represent close to NOK 50 billion of order intake in the fourth quarter of 2022, which will be the company’s highest ever quarterly order intake. For the company, these contracts are expected to generate about 50,000 work-years including ripple effects to subcontractors and others.
