Artificial lift systems are mechanical devices that are used to reduce reservoir pressure and raise produced fluids to the surface in wells that does not have sufficient internal reservoir pressure or gas lift to flow to the surface. Artificial lift technologies assist in extraction of hydrocarbon fluids such as crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. Various types of artificial lift systems including pumping systems, gas lift systems, and plunger lift systems are utilized depending on the reservoir characteristics and production economics. Rising exploration and production activities in mature oil and gas fields has boosted demand for artificial lift systems globally over the past few years. Growing need to recover remnants from producing reservoirs and maximize asset value is expected to drive the growth of artificial lift systems market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
Global artificial lift systems market growth is driven by declining production from mature oil & gas fields and increasing deepwater and ultra-deepwater E&P activities. However, high installation and maintenance costs associated with artificial lift systems can hamper the market growth. Advancing technological capabilities in artificial lift solutions offers new opportunities for the market players. Advancements in automation, IoT, AI and digitalization widens the scope of artificial lift systems. Rising exploration and production of unconventional resources such as tight oil and shale gas also drive the market growth. However, stringent environmental regulations around hydraulic fracturing and shifting focus towards renewable energy can hamper the market growth.
