Hydraulic Workover Units Market Research, 2031
The global hydraulic workover units market size was valued at $7.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $11.0 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Hydraulic workover units are movable pulling devices that are cost-effective and offer a variety of advantages for onshore & offshore projects. The hydraulic workover unit is a versatile, economical, and secure tool for drilling, maintaining, and repairing wells along the shore. It is used to replace traditional drilling and workover rigs. A hydraulic workover device is beneficial when well intervention is being performed on gas wells. The equipment increases lifting capability during well intervention operations that would be impossible with a wireline or coiled tubing unit.
The demand for this equipment has expanded globally as a result of the significant advancement in technology for oil and gas applications. It is crucial to increase crude oil output due to industrialization and urbanization, including the automobile, energy, and digitalization. The increase in brownfields coupled with a surging energy demand has made this market relevant. The market for hydraulic workover units is driven by the rising primary energy demand in APAC, expanding shale oil & gas production, and growing shale oilfield gas production.
Mexico, Algeria, Argentina, and Kuwait are in special focus for future demand of hydraulic workover units
Mexico and Algeria are anticipated to encourage the production of shale resources with the help of technological advancements. Besides, foreign investment is on the rise in Argentina, so the shortage of advanced rigs and fracking equipment is needed to be addressed. Mexico's shale resource basins are anticipated to expand with the recent opening of the upstream sector to foreign investors.
Furthermore, Kuwait signed a USD 600 billion offshore exploration contract with Halliburton with the aim for the drilling of six exploration wells over the course of the following two to three years, with a predicted increase in production of about 100,000 barrels per day. In addition for new offshore oil and gas projects. Russia announced a substantial expenditure of about $300 billion in January 2020. Offshore production is projected to contribute significantly to the globe's oil and gas supply. The more exhausting production conditions in offshore locations increase the investment in more complex and newer technologies such as hydraulic workover units.

By service workover segment dominated the global market in 2020, in terms of share. This is attributed to Hydraulic workover units are less prone to erosion and comparatively cost-effective maintenance and are normally required to temporarily abandon or to plug and abandon a well. Operations may include squeeze cementing, setting plugs (cement or mechanical), retrieving production equipment, and perhaps cutting and pulling casing. Workover costs vary depending on well conditions and regulatory requirements. This may anticipate increasing the demand for workover segment; thus, creating lucrative opportunities for the global hydraulic workover unit market.
By application, onshore segment dominated the global market in 2020, in terms of share. Owing to the high oil production from the onshore segment and the larger number of onshore oil rigs, the segment dominates the market. Additionally, the majority of onshore oil rigs are established and provide a sizable amount of market demand. In the past, operators concentrated on production from easily accessible reservoirs with relatively little cost and effort.
North America garnered the highest hydraulic workover units market share in 2020, in terms of revenue, and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Owing to increase in hydraulic fracturing activities due to rising oil production from shale plays such as the Bakken formation and Permian Basin in the past few years. Moreover, the region is expected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast timeframe, owing to the substantial regional increment in both production and consumption of shale oil and gas.
Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. It is expected that North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing offshore projects, particularly in US and Canada. Furthermore, rise in demand for hydraulic fracturing from shale gas reserves is anticipated to drive product demand across this region.
Positively, in the second half of 2021, the market for hydraulic workover unit rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, to get a competitive edge in the market, the leading manufacturers have implemented a number of strategies, such as product launches and expansion investments, which are anticipated to support market growth throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing demand for hydraulic workover units from the oil and gas industry, as a result of increasing production & exploration activities, rising investments in the oil and gas sector across the globe, and growing number of hydraulic fracturing operations, increase production from unconventional reserves.
For instance, "in July 2021 quarterly results, Norwegian Energy Company ASA reported that the Noble Sam Turner drilling program had started a well workover and maintenance campaign in the spring of 2021 and had finished three well workovers, which helped to add up to almost 2000 bpd and improve operating performance in the second quarter. The success of the campaign was greatly influenced by the employment of HWUs."
