Subsea Well Access & BOP System Market Analysis
The Subsea Well Access and BOP System Market is expected to register a CAGR of less than 6% during the forecast period.
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.
- Over the medium term, factors such as rising deepwater offshore development activities, owing to the increasing viability of offshore oil and gas projects, it is expected to drive the subsea well access and BOP system market globally.
- On the other hand, higher oil price volatility during recent years, owing to the supply-demand gap, geopolitics, and several other factors, has been restraining the growth of the subsea well access and BOP system market.
- Nevertheless, to efficiently prevent an accident, digitalization and advancements in BOP technology after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of April 2010 is expected to act as an opportunity for the Subsea Well Access and BOP System Market.
- South America region is expected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, primarily due to the rapidly developing offshore activities in the region, over the forecast period.
Subsea Well Access & BOP System Market Trends
Vessel-based Well Access Systems to Dominate the Market
- The oil and gas industry is engaged in a growing movement to identify new techniques and technologies to help maximize revenues from existing brownfields and new assets by enhancing their output.
- Hence, the industry is moving toward the vessel-based/ rigless well-access system. The rigless well intervention is a system in which smaller vessels and light well access technology are used to perform well operations, avoiding the need for a larger drillship or rig and associated riser pipework.
- Vessel-based good access systems have lower Operating Expenditure (OPEX) than rig-based well access systems and contain multipurpose vessel-based services, which reduces mobilization/demobilization costs. With cost-effective good intervention and decommissioning, rigless technology offers a route to realizing greater efficiencies for many operators.
- Moreover, the production from the deepwater fields is expected to reach 7.6 million barrels per day by 2025 and 9 million barrels per day by 2040. The need for a vessel-based well access system is anticipated to rise in the coming years due to opportunities offered by the upcoming discoveries and drilling activities.
- Hence, with the increasing deepwater and ultra-deepwater activities in the South American, North American, and European regions, Vessel-based well access systems are anticipated to dominate the market.

Europe is expected to Dominate the Market
- Europe is expected to dominate the subsea well access and BOP system market and grow significantly over the forecast period.
- Further, in 2021, the subsidiary company of HMH, MHWirth AS, was hired by GMGS to supply a topsides drilling equipment package worth roughly USD 83 million. These contracts' combined scope will be implemented aboard a drillship managed by GMGS. The anticipated delivery date is December 2023.
- Furthermore, the Norwegian parliament has opened most of the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea South (including the Southeast) for petroleum activities. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has estimated that around 47% of all the remaining resources on the shelf are still undiscovered.
- Moreover, in the second week of December 2022, 66 offshore rigs were available in Northwestern Europe. Comparing this to earlier in the year, there were five fewer rigs. In contrast, 55 offshore rigs were advertised and contracted. This region's utilization rate of marketed offshore oil rigs was 88.7 percent that month.
- Therefore, rising offshore oil and gas activities in the region are expected to increase the demand for subsea well access and BOP system market over the forecast period in the European region.
