Shale Gas Processing Equipment Market Trends: Navigating the Shale Boom
The global shale gas processing equipment market is experiencing a significant upswing in the United States, driven by the shale boom that has transformed the energy landscape. This surge in activity has led to the construction of new gas processing plants and a substantial increase in gas processing capacity. Shale gas processing equipment providers are at the forefront, offering cutting-edge solutions for natural gas processing, and this trend is poised to gain momentum in the coming years.
Unlocking Energy Potential
The utilization of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques has revolutionized the economic recovery of crude oil and natural gas from low-permeability geologic formations, particularly shale plays. The shale gas processing equipment market plays a crucial role in the post-extraction process of shale gas from reservoirs, and the continued discovery of shale gas resources is expected to create new opportunities for industry players.
Driving Factors
The shale gas processing equipment market is primarily driven by the oil and gas industry’s need to tap into unconventional resources like tight oil, tight gas, and shale gas to secure a long-term supply of energy. The rising demand for natural gas has led exploration and production companies to shift their focus from conventional oil wells to shale formations. However, challenges such as environmental concerns and underground water contamination have tempered this growth. The volatility of oil and gas prices has also led to hesitancy among some E&P companies to invest further in shale gas extraction.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate impact on natural gas markets, with reduced liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports due to the viral outbreak. Lower oil prices resulted in the shutting down of shale wells, leading to a potential decrease in associated gas production. The industry is now adapting to a “new normal” in the oil market during the post-pandemic period.
Advancing Technology for Efficiency
Efficient equipment development and process optimization remain key challenges in shale gas processing. Traditional plant construction methods have given way to modular approaches, offering opportunities to enhance efficiencies and profitability in gas processing plants. Companies are exploring information-enabled systems and technologies within a connected enterprise to turn these opportunities into financial success.
Regional Leadership
North America leads the global shale gas processing equipment market, with the United States at the forefront due to continued development in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region, led by China and Australia, contributes significantly to gas supply growth. In Europe, natural gas output decreased in 2019, while Latin America faces technological constraints and lower gas prices, impacting equipment demand. South Africa’s shale gas resource potential is garnering investor interest in the Middle East & Africa region.
Competitive Landscape
Key players in the shale gas processing equipment market include Exterran Corporation, GasTech Engineering LLC, Pall Corporation, Camaron, Honeywell UOP, Linde Engineering, Johnson Controls, Newpoint Gas LP, Membrane Technology & Research, Exterran, Van Gas System, and Schlumberger Limited.
