Impact of Covid-19 on Saudi Arabia Oilfield Equipment Rental Market
The imposition of stringent mobility restrictions across the globe led to a notable decline in the oil demand during 2020. This further led to low crude oil exports to its regular crude oil consumers, including India, China, Japan, the US, among various others. According to British Petroleum (BP), in 2020, Saudi Arabia’s oil production stood at 11,039 barrels per day, which was a decline of nearly 7%, from 11,832 barrels per day in 2019.
Consequently, the country felt a noteworthy decline in the demand for oilfield equipment rental due to low oilfield exploration in the mid of 2020. However, the relaxation of lockdown measures in the latter part of 2020, led to the rebound of oil demand across the globe. Consequently, the demand for Oilfield Equipment Rental regained in 2021. As a result, in the coming years, the COVID-19 is expected to have an insignificant impact on Saudi Arabia Oilfield Equipment Rental market.
Market Segmentation
Based on Type:
Of them all, drilling equipment grasped a considerable share in the Saudi Arabia Oilfield Equipment Rental market. The demand for drill pipes & drill collars have been high due to their primary work function that enables the drilling fluid to be pumped down from the hole through the drill bit & then back up the annulus. This continuous process requires a large number of drilling equipment for oil exploration.
Furthermore, the burgeoning government investment towards the construction of new oil refineries, coupled with the discovery of new oil & gas fields, is creating a lucrative opportunity for the growth of the drilling equipment rental market in the forecast period.
By Location:
Among the two, Onshore grabbed a considerable share in the Saudi Arabia Oilfield Equipment Rental market over the last few years due to the presence of a large number of onshore oil reserves in Saudi Arabia. Further, according to the US Energy Information Administration, the country has been the world’s second-largest hub of oilfield reserves, with a production capacity of 259 billion barrels as of 2020.
Additionally, the major onshore & offshore oil fields are located in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. Besides, the surging investment toward the onshore drilling activities is expected to augment the need for oilfield rental equipment such as drill pipe, mud pumps, drill collar, etc., in the forthcoming period.
