Market Growth Factors
The global artificial lift system market is propelled by increasing energy demand worldwide and aging oil and gas wells. According to the report, declining natural reservoir pressure is a key driver as mature wells require artificial lift technologies to maintain production. Governments and industries are investing substantially to meet the rising global energy needs, exemplified by India’s US$ 67 Billion strategic investment plan in the gas sector launched in 2024. This demand surge aids the growth of artificial lift systems essential for maintaining or enhancing production rates.
Drilling activities are intensifying, particularly in mature and unconventional fields like shale. The report cites that an estimated 16,900 oil and gas wells were drilled in the US in 2017, with projections nearing 22,600 by 2022. Increased drilling directly correlates with enhanced need for artificial lift to optimize production and maintain economic viability. Technological and drilling advances complement improvements in artificial lift system efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, fostering market expansion.
Technological innovation is a significant growth factor. Modern well control technologies enable precise monitoring of pressure, temperature, and fluid characteristics allowing artificial lift systems to optimize production adaptively. A notable example is the October 2023 launch of RoboWell, an AI-enabled Autonomous Well Control technology by AIQ and Halliburton with ADNOC in Abu Dhabi. Continuous advancements in materials, sensors, and automation technologies improve efficiency, safety, and system performance, creating competitive advantages and encouraging market growth.
