Business Intelligence Software Enables End Users Achieve High Productivity Levels
There is a growing need to improve digital oilfield operations in the artificial lift systems market. Fortunately, new technologies are making it possible for manufacturers to meet specific requirements of stakeholders in the oil & gas industry.
Since stakeholders in the oil & gas industry are constantly looking for options to optimize production costs, companies in the market for artificial lift systems are introducing business intelligence and analytics software. As such, software component segment of the artificial lift systems market is expected to reach a value of ~US$ 2.6 Bn by the end of 2027. Hence, companies in the market for artificial lift systems are collaborating with software engineers to develop advanced software systems.
Stakeholders in the oil & gas industry are increasingly benefitting from advanced business-intelligence software, since such software not only offer data on virtual flowmeters (VFMs), but also provide information across all inputs in an oilfield. Such operational practices are helping stakeholders to achieve high productivity levels.
Economic Advantages of Hybrid Pumps Generate Profits for Manufacturers
Workers in the oil & gas industry operate in high-risk environments. Hence, oil & gas companies are investing in technologically sound systems that ensure safety of workers. Likewise, end users in the market for artificial lift systems are increasingly investing in innovative sucker rod lift systems built with insert safety valves. This is evident as sucker rod lift system segment of the artificial lift systems market is anticipated to reach a value of ~US$ 5.1 Bn by 2027.
Sucker rod artificial lifts are being increasingly used to lift hydrocarbons from wells to the surface. Manufacturers in the market for artificial lift systems are increasing their production capacities to develop fail-safe designs of these artificial lifts in order to prevent uncontrolled blow out during phases of oil production. Insert safety valves are being interchangeably used with wireline surface valves. Since installation and retrieving procedures of the two valves collide, manufacturers in the artificial lift systems market are introducing novel insert rod pumps to support challenging oil production procedures. These hybrid pumps offer economic advantages to companies, since they serve as a new approach for retrofitting existing wells.
WRESP Technology Helps Overcome Barriers of Production Downtime
The artificial lift systems market is anticipated to grow at a favorable rate during the forecast period. However, certain hurdles act as barriers for manufacturers. For instance, the artificial lift systems market is consolidated with five major players accounting for a market share of ~65%. This poses as a hurdle for emerging players to compete with leading players in the artificial lift systems market, since the former lacks resources and capital to meet needs of end-users.
On the other hand, there is a growing need to improve operational costs involving the electric submersible pumping (ESP) technology. Undesired impact from ESP and production downtime act as major barrier affecting productivity levels of workers in the oil & gas industry. Hence, companies in the market for artificial lift systems are introducing the innovative wireline rigless retrievable electric submersible pumping (WRESP) technology to overcome the limitations of the conventional ESP technology. End-use industries are increasingly benefitting from the WRESP technology since it extends the economic life of assets.
