Rising Global Energy Demand is Driving the Oil and Gas Fishing Market Growth
The demand for energy is rising steadily due to population growth, urban development, industrial expansion, and the increasing use of energy in transportation, manufacturing, and households. According to the latest edition of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Global Energy Review, global energy demand increased by 2.2% in 2024-significantly higher than the average annual increase of 1.3% recorded between 2013 and 2023. While this growth was slightly lower than the global GDP growth of 3.2%, it still reflects a robust increase in energy use. Notably, over 80% of this rise in demand came from emerging and developing economies, highlighting the expanding energy needs of fast-growing markets.
As economies grow and energy consumption continues to rise, oil and gas companies are under pressure to increase production to meet this demand. This growing energy requirement has consequently accelerated upstream activities, particularly drilling and well intervention operations aimed at maximizing resource extraction from both conventional and unconventional reserves. According to a recent report by the International Energy Forum and S&P Global Commodity Insights, annual upstream oil and gas capital expenditures will rise by 22% by 2030 to ensure adequate supplies, driven by both increasing demand and cost inflation. This estimated rise in upstream investment reflects a clear trend of industry expansion to secure future energy availability. However, with more drilling and well intervention operations taking place, the chances of operational issues-such as stuck pipes, lost equipment, or blockages in the wellbore-also increase. This is where fishing services have become critical. Oil and gas fishing involves retrieving lost, damaged, or stuck equipment from wells to restore operations. Without these services, companies can face costly delays and increased non-productive time (NPT). As upstream activity grows, the demand for reliable and efficient fishing tools and services is also rising. Thus, rising global energy demand is acting as a primary catalyst in reinforcing the relevance and expansion of the oil and gas fishing market.
