Outlook of the global offshore pipeline market

The rising demand for crude oil and natural gas and growing demand for safe, economical, and reliable connectivity are some of the factors driving the market growth. However, cross-border pipeline transportation is hindering the growth of the market. In addition, increasing demand for refined products and offshore/ultra-deepwater discoveries are some of the factors providing ample opportunities.

Pipelines transport processed oil or gas. The structures must be strong enough to withstand the harshest environments, and ensure that production is not interrupted and remains economically feasible. The development of oil and gas fields offshore requires specialised pipeline equipment. The conveyed fluid is a single-phase fluid after separation from oil, gas, water, and other solids. The pipeline is also called an export line. The pipeline has moderately low (ambient) temperature and low pressure just enough to export the fluid to the destination.

Amongst Line Type, the transport line segment is being the most common type of market and is expected to hold the largest market share, because the technology is a highly mature and proven technology. By geography, Europe is dominated due to it is mainly dependent on conventional fuels, and nearly 80% of its total consumption comes from conventional energy sources. High energy consuming countries such as the UK, France, and Germany have negligible production and high demand. Hence, they are dependent on Russia and the Middle East for their oil supplies.

Some of the key players in the offshore pipeline market include: Saipem, Subsea 7, McDermott, Wood Group, Technip FMC, Sapura Energy Berhad, Fugro, Atteris, Penspen, Petrofac, Senaat, and L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering.
