Middle East & Africa Early Production Facility Market Size

The Middle East & Africa early production facility market was valued at USD 6.9 billion in 2024 and is set to experience a CAGR of 3.5% from 2025 to 2034. Escalating demand for energy, oil, and gas products, combined with the integration of monitoring systems that capture operational data, enables companies to optimize production strategies and resource allocation is contributing to the industry growth.

Favorable initiatives by the public and private and public organizations toward development of these facilities to quickly access the reserved reserves for various industries will further complement the industry landscape. For instance, in March 2023, Cheiron Energy launched its Early Production Facility operations in the GNN oil field, Gulf of Suez region. Through PICO GOS, Cheiron manages 60% of the Geisum and Tawila West Concession operations, with Kufpec controlling 40%. The facility features a support platform, production unit, and pipeline linked to the Geisum Star complex. The company aims to finish two wells, GNN-3 and GNN-8, before drilling four more wells.

Middle East & Africa Early Production Facility Market Trends

The Middle East & Africa early production facility industry is anticipated to grow owing to the fluctuating crude oil prices and increased emphasis on managing operational costs to efficiently enable operations. Companies in the oil and gas sector now prefer early production facilities to traditional large central production facilities, primarily due to budget limitations which enables them to begin field monetization during the construction phase of permanent facilities further complementing the industry landscape.

The continuous exploration for hydrocarbon resources and strategic efforts to access undeveloped oil reserves remains a significant factor in shaping the business dynamics. For instance, in August 2024, Shell and Cheiron Energy announced USD 340 million investment with Egypt's government officials. The investment aims to enhance oil and gas output from Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Suez operations. This initiative with an aim to engage with upstream companies comes as Egypt prepares for LNG imports.

Middle East & Africa Early Production Facility Industry News

• In April 2024. Kuwait Oil Company opened bidding for its Early Production Facility 18 (EPF-18) project, with an estimated value of USD 150 million, focuses on expanding oil and gas infrastructure across the country. The comprehensive scope encompasses the installation of new gas compression systems and the development of crude export pipeline networks. The project also involves building storage facilities, setting up production units, and implementing essential support infrastructure. The project aims to enhance connectivity between exploration sites and Jurassic wells across Kuwait's oil fields.
  
• In April 2023, Halliburton Testing and Subsea (TSS) located in Nigeria reached two key milestones: its early production facility surpassed 10 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in processing volume, with no lost-time incidents (LTI) during operations. The TSS Nigeria team, working with their global EPF counterparts, engineered a practical solution by establishing and managing an EPF in a remote Niger Delta location. The company conducted thorough process simulations and flow assurance evaluations to ensure the EPF design met operational requirements.
