Perforating Gun Market

Perforating Gun Market Insights

The global perforating gun market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 4%, during the period of forecast. Increase in oil & gas production, shale gas exploration, rising complexity of reservoir conditions, and average good depth over time are factors that are expected to drive the market.

The declining number of newly drilled wells is a restraint for the market. A decline in the number of newly drilled wells and increasing focus on the use of renewable energy sources are factors that can potentially have a negative impact on the perforating gun market.

Perforating Gun Market: Gun Type/Depth Insights

On the basis of the gun type the market is segmented into through tubing hollow carrier, the wireline conveyed casing, tubing conveyed perforating, and through tubing strip. Tubing conveyed perforating segment is expected to account for the largest share of the perforating gun market. Tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) are used extensively as they have the ability to perforate at very long intervals.

TCP is the only means of accessing perforating depth in highly deviated & horizontal wells. It has also been effectively used for many years in various applications such as perforation in underbalanced conditions, high angle/horizontal well perforation, and coiled tubing used as a perforating string.

Perforating Gun Market: Well Type/ Well Pressure Insights

On the basis of well type, the market is segmented into vertical and horizontal. The horizontal segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increasing reperforation of old wells that require multiple perforations for a single well from the same reservoir.

Perforating Gun Market: Regional Insights

North America is estimated to dominate the global perforating gun market by 2025 due to increasing oil & gas activities in the region. This market is also expected to grow the fastest during the period of forecast. Investments in shale gas exploration in the US, Canada, and Mexico can potentially create new opportunities for the perforating gun market. This growth is expected to take place due to increased investments in the upstream oil & gas sector, especially in the US. This will ultimately create opportunities for the perforating gun market.
