Shale Gas & Tight Oil: Products & Services

As Quoted In Upstream Pumping Solutions

Growth in tight oil applications will continue to be strong, supported by high oil prices, the development of newer liquids-rich plays, and an boost in dry gas plays as natural gas prices rise.

US demand to rise 3.5% annually through 2017

Demand for products and services related to the development of shale gas and tight oil resources in the US is forecast to rise 3.5 percent annually to $97.9 billion in 2017. Growth in tight oil applications will continue to be strong, supported by high oil prices and the development of newer liquids-rich plays. In addition, the outlook for dry gas plays is expected to improve as natural gas prices increase, especially after 2017. Overall, the focus of activity will shift toward maximizing output from maturing plays (e.g., Bakken and Marcellus), although drilling and completions will continue to be supported by growth in newer formations such as Eagle Ford, Niobrara, and Utica. Other emerging plays like the Tuscaloosa and Wolfcamp will provide strong upward momentum, and in the longer term there is still significant potential in more challenging plays such as the Monterey.

Growth for all products will be favorable

Due to sustained high levels of activity, growth for all products will be favorable. The fastest gains are expected for products that help in optimization efforts or are used in maximizing the performance of existing wells. In addition, operators continue to focus on improving their environmental image, which will spur growth in products like closed loop drilling systems and water-based drilling muds. Products such as guar gum gelling agents and services like pressure pumping that saw price spikes due to availability shortages will register slow (or no) growth in market value as competition increases and prices return to more sustainable levels.

Permian basin to remain largest play, Eagle Ford to grow the fastest

In 2012, the Permian Basin was the largest market for shale products and services. Through 2017, the Permian Basin will remain the largest play, although sales in the Eagle Ford Shale are expected to advance at the fastest pace of any of the major plays during that time. In the short term, sales will continue to be the weakest in the Barnett and Fayetteville shales, which are mature and more dependent on gas prices for growth. However, in the longer term natural gas prices are expected to rise to the point where growth in shale gas activty accelerates in most gas dominant plays. Nevertheless, moving forward, the greatest opportunity for sales gains will be in developing plays like the Wolfcamp, Niobrara, and Utica, which are all forecast to experience considerable activity as operators become more familiar with their geologies and begin commercial production.

Study coverage

This study analyzes the $82.2 billion US shale gas and tight oil product and service industry. It presents historical demand data for 2002, 2007 and 2012, and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 by product (e.g., drilling equipment and parts, drilling fluids, proppants, chemicals and gases, cementing products, completion and workover fluids, production chemicals), service (e.g., pressure pumping, drilling), US region and play (e.g., Permian Basin, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Marcellus).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 47 industry players, including Halliburton, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes.
