The Advanced Oil & Gas Exploration Technologies Market 2011-2021 report analyses how this vitally important market will develop over the next ten years. The report quantifies the market in terms of global size and breaks the market down into sub-markets and seven regional markets, with forecasts and analysis provided for each market from 2011-2021. The report also examines the major drivers and restraints influencing the market over the next decade and explains the major technologies utilised, analysing which regions will drive growth for each technology. Our research shows that global spending in 2011 on advanced oil & gas exploration technologies will total $10.17bn.

Oil and gas exploration was once a painstaking, inefficient and time consuming activity. Prospectors looked for surface seepages from underground reserves, which occur only over a small proportion of deposits. Today, technological innovation allows more efficient management of fields and better evaluation of exploration prospects, reducing the need to drill numerous exploratory wells thus saving money and minimising environmental damage. A combination of high oil prices, improved extraction technologies, increasing global energy demands, and supply concerns including; declining production, depleting production fields, maturing reservoirs and increasingly more difficult frontier exploration that is deeper, more complex and more remote is creating new opportunities for growth in the advanced oil & gas exploration technologies market. As the need to find new oil and gas deposits increases, the exploration industry will be relentlessly driven toward the use of more advanced surveying methods, including seismic 2D, 3D and 4D imaging, Controlled Source Electromagnetics (CSEM) and Remote Sensing techniques.

Though the industry will be faced with the restraints of proving the effectiveness of some of the new technologies on a commercial scale, overcoming environmental concerns, and confronting a weak global economy, the advanced oil & gas exploration technologies market is likely to provide substantial opportunities for potential investors. This report offers an examination of the advanced exploration technologies market over the next decade, providing detailed market forecasts for each of the regional markets and offering in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing companies in the advanced oil & gas exploration technologies market throughout the world.

The report also describes the most important technological changes within the advanced oil & gas technologies industry and assesses their importance for the growth of the market over the long-term. The various drivers and restraints of the market are evaluated in order to provide readers with specific insights into the future direction of the exploration technologies market.

How much is forecast to be spent in the leading regional advanced oil & gas exploration technologies markets in 2011? Who are the leading companies in the advanced oil & gas exploration technologies industry? Where are the growth opportunities over the next decade in which countries and with which type of technology? These critical questions and many more are definitively answered in this comprehensive report.

Additional Information


Report Excerpt

Planned and ongoing projects in the North Sea are either complex, unconventional, or both, such as the West of Shetland fields. In Norway tax incentives are favourable for oil and gas independents in the E&P market and have benefited Statoil, which may help maintain exploration spending in the Norwegian North Sea. The recent discovery of potentially 0.5-1.2bn bbl of recoverable oil in the Aldous and Aualdsenes fields, the biggest in the last decade, indicates the potential that still exists for exploration of Norway’s remaining frontier acreage. Fiscal incentives may also maintain exploration activity in Western Europe in the short term, onshore in France and Germany and off the Dutch coast. In South-eastern Europe, new exploration opportunities are developing in the Black Sea, where Petrobras, ExxonMobil and others signed a deepwater exploration agreement in January of 2010.

Exploration activity is expected to remain around 2010 levels throughout the forecast period, though this hides changes in the balance of the market. Pure exploration is falling, as most of the productive regional acreage is well studied. The region was the first adopter and a test bed for Permanent Ocean Bottom Seismic (POBS) methods, on BP’s Valhall field, and it is the region that stands most to benefit in the short-term from technologies that increase field recovery rates. As a result, a shift in the Europe towards high-end methods - POBS and 4D surveying - will outstrip the global trend in that direction. Europe is a mature market for exploration and E&P margins are much higher elsewhere. The seismic market will decline slowly throughout the forecast period. CSEM will play a much stronger role in the region - the three major marine EM specialist companies are all headquartered in Europe, and around 40% of CSEM activity currently takes place in the region. The CSEM will reach maturity faster in the region than elsewhere, and Europe is unlikely to remain the centre of exploration activity.
