Based on product, the market is primarily segregated into umbilicals, riser, and flowline. Shallow depth flowline products are set to surpass USD 2.4 billion by 2032 on account of the increasing adoption of advanced systems with the integration of sensors & digital technologies to enable enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Moreover, continuous identification and assessment of potential risks in flowlines with the implementation of real-time monitoring to support the replacement of faulty products will complement the subsea flowlines industry growth.
For instance, in September 2023, Oman based Masirah Oil announced to resume operations on the Yumna-3 well after resolving a leak from a flexible flowline. The new equipment is deployed to play a pivotal role in transferring oil to Yumna’s floating, storage, and offloading unit from its mobile offshore production unit.
Middle East & Africa shallow depth SURF market is projected to cross USD 2.4 billion by 2032. Increased investment for expansion of offshore projects, implementation of enhanced recovery techniques, and adoption of digitalization and automation are among the key parameters propelling the regional industry landscape. In addition, the influx of new investment strategies by the national oil companies (NOCs) are allocating substantial budgets to offshore exploration, development, and production significantly adding to the industry growth trajectory. For instance, in April 2024, the UAE based Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) unveiled its plans to invest about USD 13 billion towards expansion of oil & gas facilities with domestic as well as international growth opportunities over the next five years.
The shallow depth SURF industry is significantly competitive, driven by various technological advancements, digital integration, efficient project management & execution, and other parameters to serve the critical nature of subsea operations. The industry is fairly dominated by large multinational companies including Baker Hughes, Aker Solutions, TechnipFMC, Schlumberger, and Saipem, among others on account of their extensive resources, global reach, and a broad range of capabilities, enabling them to serve complex projects. Moreover, the industry players are continuously focusing to innovate, maintain high standards of efficiency & reliability, and adopt sustainable practices to gain market share and shape the industry dynamics.
