Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “One trend in the market is new-generation automated drilling rigs. The recent slump in crude oil prices, which started in July 2014, has led to reduced capital expenditure for exploration activities. The decline in crude oil prices continues to shrink profit margins of upstream companies, thus calling for improving operational efficiencies.”
According to the report, one driver in the market is deepwater drilling turns economical. Oil companies have been exploring oil in far-flung locations since the time conventional oil reserves started to deplete, extracting oil from ultra-deepwater, Arctic offshore, and heavy oil sands. This required significant investments and advanced technologies. The shale boom that led to a sharp decline in oil prices in mid-2014 made it difficult for companies operating in deepwater to extract oil feasibly. Since crude oil prices slipped below the $50/barrel mark, it became almost impossible for companies drilling in deepwater to break-even, since costs incurred in deep sea drilling were high.
Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is uncertainties associated with low crude oil prices. Crude oil has always been one of the most volatile commodities. This volatility in crude oil prices can be attributed to the complex and interweaved value chains and supply chain arrangements that are a result of the over-dependence of almost all world economies on oil. The price of crude oil has witnessed several ups and downs in the past decades. The rise and fall in crude oil prices have followed a vague trend over the past few years, which is now identified as the crude oil price cycle.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
