Global Oil and Gas Instrumentation Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global oil and gas instrumentation market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global oil and gas instrumentation market will grow steadily at a CAGR of around 9% by 2021. The introduction of stringent government regulations on gas detection is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The high occurrence of large-scale leak accidents in the oil and gas industry in the recent years has increased the environmental concerns and led to the rise of stringent government regulations on gas emission levels. For instance, the leak was discovered in California in 2015 at the Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility released 5.4 billion cubic feet of methane into the atmosphere. It was a 112-day leak with the loss amounting to about USD 717 million. To mitigate these issues, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) mandated nationwide federal regulations to address the major safety issues related to downhole facilities. Moreover, the mandatory implementation of gathering lines must be adhered that will consider aging gas distribution pipelines and new methane emissions. The implementation of these regulations will improve the employment of the current technology and will fund the research and development for leak detection systems. This will in turn drive the growth of the oil and gas instrumentation market in the coming years.

The rising adoption of wireless field instruments is one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of this market during the forecast period. The incorporation of wireless technology at the design stage helps in network communication and process control through field instruments. Wireless communication will greatly reduce the use of cables and the associated costs. The decreased costs, reliability, lower power consumption due to less resistance, and easy maintenance are some of the additional benefits of wireless communication.
