Moreover, a decline in the number of conventional oils well reserves in developed countries is leading to rising investment in the unconventional oil fields for oil extraction. Developing countries are trying their best to reach the untapped reserves, creating opportunities for oilfield services in the market.

For instance, in February 2025, China started the ultra-deep onshore oil and gas drilling activities. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's drilling campaign aims to reach oil and gas resources that are about 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) underground. Another, the Manshen 72-H6 well in Xayar county is planned to reach a depth of 8,735 meters (28,658 feet) for oil and gas extraction. Furthermore, in recent years, the country has intensified ultra-deep drilling, both onshore and offshore, looking to unlock more of domestic oil and gas resources to help meet its demand for hydrocarbons and reduce dependence on imports. This development highlights the rising demand for oilfield services in the developing countries.

The rising adoption of advanced techniques like EOR which include thermal recovery (steam injection), gas injection (CO2 or nitrogen), chemical flooding, and emerging microbial EOR methods for oil extraction, is creating substantial market opportunities for the oilfield services sector. The advanced techniques require sophisticated equipment and specialized services, driving demand for oilfield service providers capable of delivering tailored solutions for the sector.

Regions with large mature fields, notably North America and the Middle East are adopting advanced recovery methods, further supporting the oilfield service market growth in the coming years. Oil operator companies are looking for cost-effective, efficient solutions to extend the productive life of mature oilfields and meet future energy needs in the market. Consequently, oilfield service companies are investing in EOR technologies and advancing the equipment portfolio to get well-positioned in the market.

Equipment Rental Segment is Expected to Register Significant Growth in Global Oilfield Services Market

The equipment rental segment is expected to register significant growth as several oil operators are inclined towards the adoption of advanced technology and equipment for oil extraction which could lower the cost of production. Furthermore, oil and gas industry is marked by various fluctuation such oil prices and evolving regulatory standards, so to overcome companies prefer renting over purchasing expensive equipment which makes the segment to dominate in the market. The renting methods allow operators to avoid large upfront capital expenditures and ongoing maintenance costs which enable the oil company to allocate resources in adopting of advance equipment for oil production.

Moreover, taking equipment on rent is highly valuable for short-term projects, exploration in new regions, or when specialized equipment is needed for specific phases of drilling, completion, or production thus makes the segment to dominate in the market. Additionally, oilfield service companies provided the added services and offer such as maintenance, support, and rapid replacement, minimizing downtime and ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations which drive its demand in the market.
