The World Offshore Operations & Maintenance Market Forecast

The Offshore Operations & Maintenance market is recovering from the effects of the global downturn of 2008-2009, although O&M markets are shown to be considerably less vulnerable to downturn than capital-led offshore field development activity..High oil prices, buoyant new offshore field development activity, and rampant price inflation will drive future growth, as well as the need to operate and maintain a vast and aging infrastructure. All of this will help the global market for offshore operations reach $335 Billion in the next 5 years, dominated largely by production services.

This new offshore oil production operations market research report from Douglas-Westwood offers historic and forecast spend breakdowns by region and by service (production services; asset services; support services; subsea inspection, repair & maintenance; platform drilling services and logistics). It also offers analysis of the main servicing contractors for each O&M Sector.

The World Onshore Produced Water Gamechanger Market Report

Produced water has been an issue for the oil and gas industry for some time, but water cuts, treatment costs, regulation, and water scarcity has pushed produced water further into the limelight. The complexity of the treatment market stems from the many constituents and treatment specifications associated with the multitude of applications, geographies, and governing agencies involved. The rapidly growing global market of shale gas has made a big impact on water treatment technology innovation in recent years. Resolving hydraulic fracturing (frac) flowback presents an array of different challenges that conventional produced water treatment technologies are unable to address.

New produced water market research from Douglas Westwood aims to provide a clear understanding of the market and provide an outlook to 2020. It offers market analysis and forecasts by production category (conventional: produced water reinjection for EOR & disposal, shale gas, coal bed methane, heavy oil, conventional: surface discharge & reuse) and region (North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific & Russia). The report also offers technology overview, addressing emerging technologies & applications and costs.
