The Oil & Gas EPC market in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 22.42 billion by 2032, driven by the increasing investment in expanding & upgrading production capacities coupled with growing oil & gas trade globally.


The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented and staggering impact on the market, with oil & gas EPC contracts witnessing a positive demand across all regions amid the pandemic. Oil & Gas Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) includes engineering, procurement, and construction activities for upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas sectors. These activities include design, fabrication, construction, installation, equipment production, pre-commissioning, and maintenance contracts. Various oil and gas operators award contracts for EPC to service providers for different applications. These service providers make up the competitive landscape of this industry. 


Oil and Gas EPC Market Trends


Tremendous Demand for Hydrocarbon to Propel Growth


The demand remains high and is constantly increasing due to high consumption rate of hydrocarbons worldwide, anticipating the market's growth. To meet the extensive demand for oil and gas, government and private entities are taking the initiative to invest in the large-scale exploration of hydrocarbon. The energy sector is known for its huge investments, despite the unpredictable behavior of the oil market. For e.g. changes in crude oil prices. Hence, strategic and tactical planning of the hydrocarbon supply chain (HCSC), considering market uncertainty, is an important area of ​​research. The construction of HCSCs involves the integration of crude oil and natural gas supply chains.


OPEC countries in the Middle East & Africa are anticipated to dominate this industry, owing to high reserves of oil and gas, which is expected to increase the investment in the extraction of hydrocarbon by major oil companies in the world. Asia Pacific plays a crucial role in oil and gas consumption due to emerging and high potential economies such as India, China, Australia, and Malaysia. Due to the high demand, companies and government organizations are keen to increase hydrocarbon production. Thus, many contracts and agreements are underway to develop oil & gas production.


The major projects are on the bucket list to meet the evolving demand for hydrocarbon. Leading companies are very keen on exploring oil and gas, driving this sector.


Steadily Growing Oil and Gas Exploration to Augment Market Growth 


Several factors are driving future developments in this market. The key elements include population growth, changing demographics, economic growth, policy changes, technology advancement, and oil prices.


The international and local government policies impact the evolution of this market, mainly focusing on eradicating hydrocarbon poverty in developing countries. The Asia Pacific records the highest consumption and demand. China was leading in the Asia Pacific in hydrocarbon production and stood in the top ten countries globally. Chinese conglomerate Sinopec, CNPC, and Sinochem are eying on enlarging their production facilities to meet the rising demand. India, Indonesia, and Malaysia continuously strive to enhance their home production to cut foreign exchange on importing oil and gas.


India will more than double the area where oil and gas are explored and produced to 0.5 million square kilometers by 2025 and 1 million square kilometers by 2030 to increase domestic production and reduce dependence on imported fuel. The world's third-largest energy consumer will continue to rely on hydrocarbons to meet its growing energy needs for the foreseeable future.


OPEC and ally countries recently pledged to cut oil production to reach the steady and fruitful market thus, concentrating on the future development of this market. The primary source of income for the Gulf countries is oil and gas, which in, turn helps to stabilize their economy. Thus, government and private agencies are focusing on increasing their production in the forthcoming years.


The U.S. is highly developed in the production of shale gas. Companies are likely to invest heftily to meet the growing demand. To increase the production of existing oil wells and explore new wells, companies employ various techniques for maximum output. Russia, Norway, and the U.K. have steadily invested in offshore oilfield development to achieve high production rates.

Oil and Gas EPC Market Growth Factors


Industrialization and Rapid Urbanization to Bolster Growth


The world is witnessing immense growth in broad areas such as automobile, aviation, manufacturing, and construction due to substantial potential development in different industries in every corner of the world. Oil & gas plays an essential role in providing the primary energy source. Therefore, market is continuously growing.


Net imports of natural gas by India, the world's fourth-largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), are expected to grow at an average annual rate of 4.9% between 2022 and 2050, according to the U.S. (EIA). The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects India's domestic natural gas production and imports to help meet the increase in natural gas consumption.


Also, the extensive population growth has increased the demand for daily essentials. Therefore, companies are expanding their manufacturing units that require a continuous and reliable energy source. Thus, a significant portion of oil and gas is utilized in generating electricity to meet the enormous demand for energy.


The growing global transportation system, which plays a significant role in socio-economic development, utilizes many hydrocarbon products as fuel. Thus, the demand is consistent and steady, which is expected to increase exploration and production activities, thereby directly driving the market.


Growing Oil and Gas Trade Leading to Construction of New Pipelines to Augment Growth


The growing demand globally has led to the development of oil and gas fields in countries rich in resources. Therefore, there is increasing trade between producer and consumer nations. The rising energy demand and increasing trade have led to increased pipeline construction across countries for oil and gas transmission. Moreover, the massive utilization of natural gas in the end-user has advanced the development of the distribution gas pipeline network.


With growing energy demand, pipeline construction is anticipated to grow. This will result in many midstream EPC contracts for oil and gas for further sector development. This acts as a profitable opportunity for Market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Increasing Renewable Energy Usage Poses a Threat to Market Growth


The frequent fluctuation in the market prices has stunted hydrocarbon exploration. The COVID-19 has highly impacted the major oil producer companies in the world.


The rise in pollution levels and serious global warming threat is a by-product of the oil and gas industries. Leaders worldwide have come together to combat these significant issues to thwart the rising GHG emission. International environment regulatory bodies and government agencies are amending and enforcing strict rules and regulations on oil and gas producing companies.


Also, the recent trend and development in renewable energy, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, have gained momentum for an alternative to oil and gas. Oil & gas investment is not viable in the long term. Moreover, the automobile industry was going through a transformation phase with the introduction of electric vehicle. Batteries are playing a crucial role, as they are accompanied with a renewable source of energy to store an enormous amount of electricity. These factors are creating barriers to the growth of this industry.
