Offshore Drilling Rigs Market: Rising Adoption from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises to Fuel Growth

Global Offshore Drilling Rigs Market: Snapshot

Energy hungry countries compelled to rely on non-conventional sources is benefitting the global offshore drilling rigs market. Energy production, today, still largely relies on burning of fossil fuels that are mainly buried deep in the Earth’s crust, in rock formations, and deep in oceans. Almost one-third of the oil and gas produced across the world is sourced from offshore reserves. From the first oil rigs built in the late 1800s that could tap oil and gas reserves in shallow waters close to the coastline, the oil rigs that are used today are suitable for waters that are more than 7,500 feet deep and can be as much as 200 miles away from the nearest shore.

Offshore oil production which was complicated at one time is increasingly becoming routine. At present, there are almost 900 large-scale oil and gas platforms that are used for the exploration of deep-water reserves.

As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2015, more than 27 million barrels of oil was produced offshore across 50 countries. The world’s largest offshore oil producing countries are Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Mexico, Norway, and the United States.

Apart from serving energy needs, offshore drilling has the prime advantage of reducing incidents of natural oil seepage in oceans. The benefits of offshore drilling are much more than the risks associated with offshore drilling pursuits.
