Wireline Services Market Trends
Offshore Region to Dominate the Market
- As oil and gas demand is increasing, there is a need to find and produce from new oil and gas reservoirs. Existing hydrocarbon reservoirs have started to mature or have reached their decommissioning stage. This has resulted in the finding of new resources. Therefore, new oil & gas wells are being drilled in countries that have not been major producers for hydrocarbons in the past.
- Also, as offshore oil & gas reservoirs are larger than onshore reservoirs, and the production life of offshore wells is higher than that of onshore wells, companies are shifting towards offshore E&P activities.
- In October 2018, Baker Hughes, McDermott International, Inc., and L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) were awarded the subsea contract for India's Oil & Natural Gas Corporation's (ONGC) largest deepwater project, the development of block DWN-98/2 in the Krishna Godavari basin of India. The project brings together oilfield filed services from BHGE, McDermott, and LTHE to provide ONGC with end-to-end project delivery.
- Also, in September 2018, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources of Egypt has signed two new oil and gas exploration agreements to explore two deepwater areas at the Mediterranean Sea and Western Sahara with Canadian, British, Dutch, Malaysian and Kuwaiti companies, for a minimum investment of more than USD 1 billion.
- Hence, with the increasing deepwater and shallow water drilling activities and new supportive government policies for offshore oil & gas exploration, the wireline services market is expected to dominate the market studied in the coming years.

North America to Dominate the Market
- North America is expected to be the largest market for the wireline services. This is mainly due to the large number of offshore oil and gas platforms, severe sea conditions, and strict safety regulations promoting drilling and completion services.
- In 2018, the United States has witnessed three significant oil discoveries, including two in the Gulf of Mexico, at Ballymore (545 Mb) at a depth of 2,000 m underwater, and at Appomattox (140 Mb) under 2,300 m of water. Besides this, the United States has also had an onshore discovery in Alaska in the Putu/Stony field (200 Mb). In Alaska, Smith Bay, a shallow oil field located 150 miles to the west of Prudhoe Bay in the North Slope, is spread over 117 acres and estimated to hold 6-10 billion barrels of crude oil that include 1.8 to 2.4 billion barrels of recoverable reserves. The new discoveries of oil and gas fields demand exploration of the field to reach the production stage; these new discoveries are expected to drive the country's wireline services market.
- Further, owing to the stabilization of energy prices and profitability from drilling activities, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) announced that as of 2018, they have 152 active oil wells and expected to increase as for the newly discovered field. The demand for wireline services in the country is expected to be high during the forecast period, riding on increased upstream activities.
- Hence, the development of new fields and growing activities of drilling and exploration is expected to drive the market for North America. Therefore, the demand for wireline services is expected to be on the positive for the North America during the forecast period.
