The global well testing services market size was US$ 6.1 billion in 2021. The global well testing services market is forecast to grow to US$ 10.1 billion by 2030 by growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Factors Influencing the Market
The well-testing services market is majorly driven by the factors like surging demand for energy and its resources and rising investments in exploration & production activities. Furthermore, growing initiatives to boost the adoption of unconventional oil & gas resources will contribute to the market growth.
These resources are chemically identical to conventional oil and gas resources. There are abundant conventional resources; however, the production of these resources is insufficient to meet the current market demand for well-testing services. Moreover, with rising oil prices, unconventional oil and gas resources are gaining significant traction.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on almost every sector of the economy. To prevent the virus from spreading, governments were forced to implement several measures, including strict social distancing norms and lockdown. As a result, the spread of COVID-19 poses a significant threat to the oil and gas industry. Over 15 of the world's largest oil and gas companies announced significant reductions in capital spending plans.
Transportation and related activities were also impacted by declines in oil and gas demand during this time period. As a result of these factors, leading players' various development activities were disrupted, limiting the testing services industry's demand for testing services. Because of the rapid accumulation of oil, this pandemic has halted production.
Regional Analysis
North America is forecast to dominate the well-testing services market, owing to the presence of vast shale reserves and rising investments in the exploration and production of these resources. Furthermore, the United States recorded the highest production of oil & gas in 2019, having more than 900,000 active oil and gas wells. In addition, the United States also recorded three vital oil discoveries. Thus, all of these factors will drive the growth of the well-testing services market.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific well testing services market is forecast to record a substantial growth rate, owing to the growing range of testing services present in the region. In addition, rising investments in the oil and gas sector, majorly in China, India, and Indonesia, will fuel the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing number of drilling activities and flourishing growth of the energy & power industries will benefit the well-testing services market during the study period.
