Pump Jack Market Research Report: By Application (Onshore, Offshore), Well Type (Horizontal, Vertical), Weight (Below 100,000 lbs, 100,000 lbs to 300,000 lbs, above 300,000 lbs) – Global Industry Size, Share, Development, Growth, and Demand Forecast to 2023

The global pump jack market generated $2,712.8 million in 2016, and it is further projected to reach $3,800.0 million by 2023, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period (2017-2023).

North America is expected to witness the fastest growth in the pump jack market, during the forecast period. This can be mainly attributed to the technological advancements in artificial lifting equipment, such as pump jacks and gas lifts. Additionally, continuous redevelopment of mature oil and gas fields is being done, as many of them have exhausted their natural pressure to pump up the fluid, after a long life. As per the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), the U.S. had become the world’s largest producer of natural gas, accounting for almost 20% of the global gas production in 2012. The same year, the U.S. and Canada together accounted for 14% of the global oil production.

Fundamentals Governing Pump Jack Market

The increasing number of mature oilfields is leading to the growing demand for pump jacks in the petroleum industry. Most of the mature oil wells have already reached the level of saturation and are thus producing less oil. These wells cannot be economically restarted once they are shut down; hence, a majority of them are kept alive with pump jacks. such devices allow even the last barrel of oil to be extracted from the fields. The life of the wells can be extended by years, by improving the pumping efficiency, without adding any significant operational cost, which is enabled by pump jacks. The computer-based technology is now being used to monitor and analyze pump systems in real time, from far away, quickly, and with minimum human interference. The use of such automated solutions, for the efficient extraction of oil from mature oilfields, is being observed as a key trend in the pump jack market.

The rising number of mature onshore oil fields is one of the major drivers for the pump jack market. Onshore oil drilling is more cost-effective than offshore oil drilling. In addition, the majority of the aging wells are onshore; hence, the demand for pump jacks is quite high for onshore oil drilling. The North American region has a large number of mature onshore wells, where pump jacks can be used to achieve operational efficiency and tap the remaining oil in the wells.

Innovations in the performance of pump jacks would offer a lucrative opportunity in the pump jack market. Nowadays, pump jacks are remotely monitored, which makes their operation more efficient and cost-effective, by monitoring on/off events, sending quick alarms and instant notifications via email, text, or phone calls, in case of shut down, to resolve problems, at the same time reducing the requirement for humans. For oil wells with low production, this is a major benefit, as it ensures that the running costs do not outgrow the revenue being generated from oil supply.

Segmentation Analysis of Pump Jack Market

The onshore bifurcation held the larger revenue share, by application, in 2016. This can be attributed to the fact that a larger number of the aging mature wells are on the land compared to in the sea, which is why the usage of pump jacks will be higher in onshore oil drilling.

The vertical well bifurcation is expected to exhibit faster pump jack market growth, by well type, during the forecast period, in terms of value. This can be ascribed to the fact that pump jacks are used in a majority of onshore oil wells and they were particularly developed for vertical onshore wells.

The 100,000-lb-to-300,000-lb category was the highest revenue generator in 2016, on the basis of weight. This can be ascribed to the fact that the average depth of the well is 5,500-7,000 feet, and the selection of the pump jacks is based on the depth and amount of fluid to be taken out from the well. Due to this, 100,000-lb-to-300,000-lb-weight pump jacks are commonly used.

Geographical Analysis of Pump Jack Market

North America was the largest pump jack market during the historical period (2013–2016), and it is expected to maintain the trend during the forecast period. This can be mainly attributed to the presence of established players, a high number of mature oilfields, and increase in the age of oilfields.

Besides, North America is expected to exhibit the fastest growth during the forecast period as well, mainly on account of the increasing number of mature wells and demand for energy.

Considering the future industry scenario, the U.S. is expected to lead the North American pump jack market, generating revenue worth $2,200.5 million in 2023.

Competitive Landscape of Pump Jack Market

Some of the key players operating in the pump jack market are Schlumberger Limited, General Electric Company, Young’s Welding Inc., JCPump LLC, Halliburton Company, Weatherford International, Cook Pump Company, Drake Manufacturing Company Inc., Dansco Manufacturing Inc., and LS Petrochem Equipment Corporation.

Recent Strategic Developments of Major Pump Jack Market Players

In recent years, major players in the global pump jack market have taken several strategic measures, such as product launches and geographical expansions, to gain a competitive edge in the industry. For instance, in November 2016, Schlumberger entered into an agreement with NOW Inc., to give the latter the exclusive rights to distribute REDA HPS pumps and certain related parts, in 15 states across the U.S. Schlumberger will provide technical support for these products, as part of the collaboration.

Moreover, in September 2017, Microsoft and Halliburton collaborated for applying deep learning to reservoir characterization, modelling, and simulation, building domain-specific visualization for mixed reality, creating highly interactive applications, and fueling the digitalization of E&P assets.
