Horizontal hydraulic fracturing segment is anticipated to reach USD 65 billion by 2034. Horizontal hydraulic fracturing techniques continue to expand in the oil and gas industry, primarily driven by their effectiveness in extracting hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs. This method allows operators to access larger areas of resource-rich formations through a single well, making it more efficient than traditional vertical drilling. The technology's adoption has increased significantly, particularly in shale development projects across various regions. The method's superior production rates and enhanced ability to tap into previously inaccessible natural gas deposits in hydrocarbon extraction operations will augment the business outlook.
The hydraulic fracturing market from Tight oil segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR of over 7.5% through 2034. The evolution of drilling and hydraulic fracturing methods, coupled with robust oil demand and elevated market prices, enables profitable tight oil extraction operations further augmenting the industry growth. Increasing investments in infrastructure development and growing emphasis on domestic energy independence has led to the ongoing expansion of tight oil production capabilities, positively influencing the industry outlook.
U.S. hydraulic fracturing market is set to surpass USD 38 billion by 2034. The rapid development of shale resources and discoveries of new oil and gas fields are driving the industry growth. Major oilfield service companies are investing in research and development to enhance their technical capabilities along with increased domestic production capacity, expanded export capabilities, and reduced reliance on Russian gas supplies have accelerated the technology adoption.
For instance, in June 2024, Chevron employs an integrated drilling system in the Permian Basin to enhance operational performance. The company's approach combines multiple horizontal wells on single pads with advanced fracturing techniques. This method reduces operational costs, shortens production timelines, and increases drilling output.
