Oil and Gas Separator Market: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2021-2031 Market

Oil and Gas Separator Market Outlook - 2027

An oil & gas separator is a weight vessel used for separating a well stream into gaseous and fluid segments. They are introduced either in an onshore processing station or on an offshore platform. On the basis of vessel arrangements, oil/gas separators can be segmented into horizontal, vertical, or spherical separators, which are used to separate oil, water, and gas from total fluid stream produced by an oil well. The working norms of separators is that gaseous and liquid components have different masses, which permits them to stratify when moved gradually with gas on top, oil in the middle and water at the bottom. The main force is gravity, which works for the separation; that means lightest fluid rises to the top and heaviest fluid settles to the bottom. These separators are categorized in to two-phase and three-phase, where the two-phase separator deals with oil and gas and three phase separator deals in water, oil, and gas. High pressure oil & gas separators can handle pressures between 975 and 1500 psi.

Covid-19 scenario analysis:

• The global market for oil & gas separators is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
• The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns. 
• Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
• Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of oil & gas separators, which negatively impact the market growth.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

Growth in unconventional resources, mainly shale gas and oil reserves along with large investments in exploration and production activities are driving the market for high pressure oil and gas separators. Furthermore, prevailing and upcoming installation of off-site and on-site processing facilities is also expected to boost the demand for the product in upcoming period.  Oil and gas separators manufacturers are now also conducting R&D activities to reduce the equipment cost and increase the efficiency. These advancements in research and development are contributing factor for the growth of the market. Dipping global crude oil prices and unpredictability of the oil and gas industry has led to a reduction in exploration, drilling and production activities and hinder the growth of the market.

New product launches to flourish the market 

Halliburton has announced the launch of its BaraOmni hybrid separation system, a next-level separation innovation that successfully expels ultra-fine low gravity solids (LGS), results in better performing, longer lasting liquid system to help operators altogether lessen costs.  As drilling fluids are used, ultra-fine LGS assemble and can negatively affect operational performance. Operators currently use dilution to report this issue, which results in extreme fluid volumes and costs. The hybrid separation system features advanced capabilities to remove ultra-fine LGS, which was previously impossible. This removes the need for dilution and improves the operator’s capacity to recover drilling fluids so they can drill more wells with less fluid volume.

Surge in use in oil & gas applications

Rise in discovery of multiple reservoirs of shale oil and gas and rising offshore exploration activities propel the market growth. Increasing population and rise in demand for energy impacts on the demand for oil & gas separators. Oil & gas industry has seen significant advances in the oil & gas separator market. For instance, vendors in the market are introducing inline separation technology. The inline separation technique is simple, cost-effective, easy to install, and requires less maintenance compared to conventional vessel-type separation technology. The inline separation technique is suitable for harsh production environments as well as new fields and retrofit applications. This boosts the separators market by its increasing demand in the oil & gas industry.
