What Is The Driver Of The Oil And Gas Supporting Activities Market?

The growing demand for natural gas is expected to propel the growth of the oil and gas-supporting activities market going forward. Natural gas is a fossil fuel created when layers of organic material, primarily marine microbes, deteriorate underground for millions of years while subjected to extreme heat and pressure. Natural gas is used in a variety of oil and gas-supporting activities to power pipelines that transport oil and gas from production sites to refineries. For instance, in September 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, the US natural consumption increased by 1% to reach 89.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2023 from 88.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for natural gas drives the growth of the oil and gas-supporting activities market.
