Market Trends of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Software Industry
Oil and Gas Sector to Witness Major Growth
- The oil and gas industry operates in three sectors: upstream, midstream, and downstream. The upstream sector is responsible for exploration and production activities that involve working in onshore and offshore rigs.
- CUI testing in the upstream industry mainly happens in offshore establishments. Most of the functional oil rigs in the world are offshore. This creates a massive demand for NDT software to confirm CUI.
- NDT in the oil and gas industry is critical for equipment integrity and the safety of petroleum refining and extraction operations. Safely containing potentially hazardous chemicals and fluids within pipes and pressure vessels requires careful inspection of welds and metals for flaws and corrosion using ultrasonic and eddy current NDT testing solutions.
- In the oil and gas industry, the NDT software plays an essential role in flaw detection, material characterization, integrity assessment, and safety assurance. For instance, according to OPEC, the global demand for crude oil is expected to be aimed toward light products, such as gasoline and ethane. In 2045, gasoline demand is forecasted to climb to 27.6 million barrels per day.
