What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Pipeline Maintenance Services Market?
As oil and gas production rates rise, so does the need for pipeline maintenance services, indicating that this market is expected to grow as well. The extraction of hydrocarbons like crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs is what constitutes oil and gas production. Factors such as increased energy demand worldwide, greater industrialization, and the discovery of new reserves are contributing to its growth. To maintain the integrity and safety of pipelines in oil and gas productions, while also preventing disruptions and leaks to optimize operational efficiency, pipeline maintenance services are required. For example, as the Energy Information Administration, a US government agency, reported in February 2024, December 2023 saw the rise of crude oil production in the United States to 13,315 barrels per day, a growth of 6.68% from the 12,138 barrels per day in December 2022. A surge was also seen in natural gas production in the US for the same period, rising to 128,810 million cubic feet per day from 121,123 million cubic feet per day. As such, the escalating rates of oil and gas production are largely driving the pipeline maintenance services market's growth.
