Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global crude oil pipelines market will grow moderately during the next four years and estimate the total length of crude oil pipelines to reach almost 538 thousand miles by 2020. The major hydrocarbon-rich regions identified in the early 20th century have started to change significantly, which will induce the exploration and production (E&P) companies to start oil and gas exploration activities in unconventional avenues. This crude oil pipelines market research analysis identifies this shift in the base of crude oil reserves as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The recent years have seen a significant reduction in the rate of production in the established areas such as the Middle East, the Gulf of Mexico, and the North Sea. As a result, crude oil companies have moved their exploration activities to relatively new areas such as the Yamal basin in Russia, the Andaman Sea in the Indian sub-continent, and most significant regions in the Arctic and Antarctic. This will subsequently lead to the need for linking the producing regions to the consumer bases, in turn, fueling the growth of the market.
The transportation of heavy crude through pipelines is one of the major challenges faced by crude oil pipeline operators. The high density of these crude oils and rapid cooling makes their transportation through the long distance pipelines very cumbersome resulting in several operational issues in the pipeline system. This will lead to the increasing adoption of heated pipeline technology among oil and gas pipeline companies in the next four years. With the upstream oil and gas areas moving into hostile environments and the global change in climatic conditions, this technology will play a significant role in the growth of the market.
