Market Trends of Nigeria Wireline Logging Services Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nigeria Wireline Logging Services Market according to our research experts:
E-Line Segment to Dominate the Market
- In 2018, the E-line segment accounted for the maximum share in the wireline logging services market and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period as well in Nigeria.
- Electrical line (E-line) is a cable that is utilized to lower the tools and transmit data to the surface and to the tools deployed. An e-line can perform the slickline job and can also help to evaluate (log) the formation when the data must be sent to the surface.
- E-lines consists of single strands or multi-strands. E-Line is a more value-added deployment method, as it covers both requirements, i.e. it can intervene on a mechanical level and collect data about well conditions too.
- The market for E-Line wireline logging services in Nigeria has been growing, owing to there being a higher number of old wells (conventional) that require intervention and monitoring. In addition, a number of downhole tools that were previously deployed by coiled tubing can now be deployed using E-Line, which is more cost-effective.
- Owing to the above-mentioned properties, the demand for e-line wireline logging services has been growing over the forecast period.
