The chemical method segment is expected to experience significant and surpass USD 21.8 billion by 2034, on account of its ability to provide long-term stability and operate efficiently across a wide range of temperatures. The increasing usage of various chemicals including bio polymers, elastomers, and polymer gels, among others, to deliver key advantages, such as stability at elevated temperatures and better compatibility with drilling fluids and cement, will cater to the industry expansion.
The zonal isolation market from offshore application segment is anticipated to observe a CAGR of over 5.5% through 2034. Flourishing investments in deep and ultra deep-water exploration and production coupled with companies are allocating vast resources to tap into previously unreachable reserves, utilizing advanced technologies to overcome the challenges of extreme depths, further complementing the business landscape. Moreover, ongoing push into deeper waters to dwindling onshore and shallow-water resources along with opportunity to access potentially larger oil reserves will shape the industry outlook.
The U.S. zonal isolation market is set to surpass USD 6 billion by 2034. Increasing number of mature oil fields across the nation, coupled with favorable regulatory measures permitting drilling activities is complementing the business landscape. High production potential from numerous untapped oil reserves, growing oil demand, presence of large volumes of proven oil reserves, and increasing new drilling projects is augmenting the industry outlook.
For instance, in June 2024, Energy Development Corporation of U.S. planned to expand operations across the Permian Basin to develop this highly productive oil and gas region. The company intends to deploy more than USD 750 million over the next 12 months, with most of this capital allocated to projects in the Permian Basin.
