What are pipeline & process services?

Pipeline & process services provide a wide range of pre-commissioning & commissioning, maintenance, and decommissioning services to the pipeline and process plant construction, commissioning, and maintenance industries, both offshore and onshore.

Pipeline & process services provide operators the capability to initiate, sustain and increase production by increasing the production and transportation capacity of infield hydrocarbon flowlines, process plants, and export pipelines.

Market Drivers

Several drivers contribute to the growth and demand for pipeline and process services in the global market:

Expansion of Oil and Gas Industry: The oil and gas industry is a major end-user of pipeline and process services. With the rise in global energy demand, new oil and gas fields need to be developed, which in parallel, will require pipeline and process services.

Aging Infrastructure: Aging infrastructure requires high maintenance, and rehabilitation to ensure safe operations. Many pipelines and process facilities globally are reaching the end of their lifespan, creating a need for new pipeline and process services.

Regulatory Compliance: Governments and regulatory bodies impose strict standards and regulations for the operation of pipelines and industrial processes. Companies must comply with these regulations to ensure safety, environmental protection, and operational efficiency.

Environmental Concerns: Industries are taking several measures to address environmental concerns. Pipeline and process services etc. play a vital role in preventing spills, emissions, etc. Also, these services help in detecting leaks or any possible environmental damage.

Technological Advancements: With the advent of robotics, remote sensing, and data analytics, several industries have been transformed, including the pipeline and process services industry. These technologies enable accurate inspections, predictive maintenance, and real-time monitoring, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of services.

Increasing Water and Wastewater Treatment: The water and wastewater industry requires pipeline and process services for different applications including maintenance, and optimization of water distribution networks, sewage systems, etc. Since wastewater management has become a significant challenge due to the high rise in water requirements, the demand for these services is expected to grow.

Segments Analysis

By Asset Type

The market is segmented into pipeline and process. 

The pipeline segment is projected to account for the larger market share during the forecast period. Owing to the oil price decline, there were many pipeline projects which were delayed in the recent past. However, on account of the price rise since early 2018, the delayed projects are now getting commissioned in the coming years.

Around 250,000 km of pipelines are estimated to be added globally during the forecast period and the Asia-Pacific region is likely to depict the highest pipeline km additions in the coming five years.

By Operation Type

The market is segmented into pre-commissioning & commissioning, maintenance, and decommissioning. 

The pre-commissioning & commissioning segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. Increasing volume of gas processing & gas storage pre-commissioning activities in the Middle East & North Africa and refinery capacity pre-commissioning in the Asia Pacific regions are expected to boost the global pre-commissioning & commissioning segment during the forecast period.

Pipeline pre-commissioning & commissioning is estimated to be around 65-70% of the overall pre-commissioning & commissioning pipeline and process service market, owing to the high volume of pipeline pre-commissioning in the North American region.

By Region

North America is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. In the regions like the USA, 70% of the crude oils are shipped through pipelines. The growing demand for energy in North America shows the oil exploration activities, which are strengthening the market.

In the current study, extraction techniques have opened ample oil & gas shale regions in extremely remote areas. The transportation of manufactured crude & natural gas from these remote locations is expected to drive the overall pipeline market in the region.
