Global Offshore Drilling Rigs Market Analysis 2022

Global Offshore Drilling Rigs Market Analysis 2022

The Global Offshore Drilling Rigs Market is expected to reach $178.76 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2021 to 2028. Offshore drilling is the process of extracting petroleum from rock formation, which lies beneath the seabed. This method is used to extract natural sources of oil and gas from earth. These vessels are used for excavation and construction purposes. Offshore drilling rigs provide facilities to extract, store and process natural gas and petroleum. Moreover, the offshore drilling rigs are capable of reaching the farthest and deepest locations. These rigs are very robust and can withstand harsh environmental conditions.

Factors such as increasing energy demand from emerging countries, growing demand for oil and gas, rise in exploration & production expenditures and regulations of prices of oil drive offshore exploration activities are driving the growth of the market. However, environmental concerns and government regulations is restraining the growth of the market.

Based on the type, the floating rigs segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period, due to rising shallow and deepwater explorations and increase in the number of investments from operators, especially for deep and ultra-deep water activities. It is one of the most important segments of oil field production chain as it provides services and equipments to oil explorers, producers and transportation of crude oil and natural gas. Floating rigs are not resting on the seafloor which includes semi-submersible and drill ship. Rigs are huge structures that are used in the process of extraction of crude oil from oil wellbore.
