Geophysical Services Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
Anticipated growth in the geophysical services market is linked to the escalating demand from the oil and gas industry. This global economic segment encompasses the exploration, extraction, refining, and distribution of hydrocarbon-based energy resources, including crude oil and natural gas. Geophysical services are valuable for the oil and gas industry, assisting in conducting surveys, analyzing subsurface properties, identifying potential drilling sites, optimizing exploration efforts, and facilitating efficient resource extraction. For instance, in October 2023, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based government agency, indicated that global liquid fuel production, including crude oil and other liquids, is set to increase by 1.3 million b/d in 2023 and by 0.9 million b/d in 2024. Hence, the rising demand for the oil and gas industry is propelling the growth of the geophysical services market.
