What Are Key Factors Driving The Demand In The Global Surface Drilling Rig Market?
The surge in oil and gas requirements market is anticipated to drive the expansion of the surface drilling rig market. Oil and gas, which are naturally occurring hydrocarbons located beneath the Earth's surface, serve as key energy sources globally for numerous industrial, commercial, and residential uses. The oil and gas sector is expanding due to the rising need for transportation, electricity generation, heating, and industrial processes. Surface drilling rigs, which help to drill wells for the extraction of subterranean hydrocarbon resources, are crucial for exploration, production, and maintenance operations in the oil and gas industry. For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, predicted in June 2023 that the global oil demand would touch 105.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) by 2028, which equates to a cumulative growth of 6% from 2022. Hence, the escalating demand for oil and gas is fueling the expansion of the surface drilling rig market.
