• to learn more about this report

The global microbial enhanced oil recovery market size was USD 803.1 million in 2021 and will touch USD 1802.4 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period.

Growth factors include the growing requirement for increased oil recovery techniques and the worldwide desire for sustainable energy sources. By utilizing microbial activity, the systems provide an economical and environmentally beneficial solution, which drives continued microbial enhanced oil recovery market growth expansion. The effectiveness of these systems is further increased by developments in microbial engineering and biotechnology, which raises the rates of oil extraction.

COVID-19 Impact: Suspended Transportation Activities and Shutdowns to Deplete Market Share 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on the oil and gas sector. Due of the COVID-19 situation, numerous oil and gas firms in different areas stopped operating or temporarily suspended their manufacturing facilities, and several nations implemented partial or complete lockdowns as a means of combating the pandemic. Moreover, the major oil and gas systems were further postponed or suspended by the regional stakeholders. The outbreak has also had a further effect on the force network of oil and gas, well drilling, product conditioning, and crude oil prices. The short- and medium-term enhanced oil recovery industry has been significantly influenced by the decline in product conditioning as well.

LATEST TRENDS

"Utilization of Tertiary Recovery to Stimulate Market Development"

Tertiary recovery, also known as enhanced oil recovery, is the process of mobilizing residual oil that is immobile by the use of heat, chemical, or physical techniques. Oil extraction businesses have begun to rely more on tertiary or improved oil recovery techniques because primary and secondary methods can leave up to a substantial percent of the oil in the reservoir.

Moreover, the enhanced oil recovery methods that are most frequently used globally include chemical injection, gas injection, and thermal recovery. Furthermore, the bulk of enhanced oil recovery procedures are being used offshore while oil corporations are working on ways to expand the use of these techniques onshore.

MICROBIAL ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY MARKET SEGMENTATION

• By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into ground method, reservoir method.

Ground Method: The injection technique differs from nation to nation and is dependent on a number of variables. The ground technique is predicted to expand at the fastest rate among them, with microbial flooding probably to grow at a substantial compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast timeframe.

Reservoir Method: In the reservoir process, fertilizers and a microbial solution typically get injected through the wells. As the bacteria consume the nutrient, different acids, gasses, and surfactants are produced. These byproducts work on the oil to force it out of cracks to enter the reservoir well. Over the course of the projected period, it is expected that the product's above-average growth would be caused by its low and optimized outcomes.

• By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into onshore oilfield, offshore oilfield.

Onshore Oilfield: The onshore application category will develop in the future due to reduced conventional extraction expenses in onshore oilfields compared to offshore oilfields. The techniques have been employed in traditional onshore basins where Saudi Arabia, Russia, along with China are observing a decline in output levels. Over the course of the projected year, these variables should have a beneficial impact on the segment's growth.

Offshore Oilfield: Over the course of the projection period, the offshore segment is anticipated to be driven by the continuous development of the current offshore wells.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Depletion in the Availability of Non-Renewable Resources to Support Market Expansion"

The availability of many non-renewable resources is declining. There is a global fuel scarcity as a result of their declining availability. Despite the fact that a large number of sources of clean energy have been found, they lack efficiency. Alternative fuel sources are therefore desperately needed, therefore microbial enhanced oil recovery methods can be very helpful in this regard. The quantity of matured wells is rising worldwide. This method can be used to extract new deposits of crude oil. As a result, the market share is rising due to rising demand.

"Uplifting Thermal Technology Segment to Foster Industry Progress"

In terms of technology, the segment with the highest predicted market share for the year 2020 is probably thermal technology. Additionally, steam is injected during thermally enhanced oil recovery to improve the oil's mobility through different reservoirs and reduce viscosity. It is mostly used to collect billions of barrels of heavy crude oil from reservoirs that contain heavy oil. Furthermore, there are further types of thermally enhanced oil recovery, such as in-situ, steam combustion, and others. Over the course of the projection period, the steam segment will be projected to increase at the fastest rate.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Complex Nature of Microbial Processes to Stop Market Evolution"

The intricacy of microbial relationships and ambiguities surrounding field-scale applications, however, pose obstacles to the industry. The systems' scalability is impacted by the difficulties in performance optimization caused by the complex nature of microbial processes. Furthermore, obstacles to broad adoption include industry standardization and regulatory compliance.
