AI In Oil And Gas Market Size (2024 - 2029)

AI in Oil and Gas Market Analysis

The AI In Oil And Gas Market size is estimated at USD 3.14 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.70 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.61% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The increasing application of AI in reservoir analysis, drilling optimization, anomaly detection in pipelines, safety monitoring, emissions reduction, revolutionizing exploration, production, and environmental sustainability in the oil and gas industries is expected to fuel the growth of the market.

• The emergence of predictive maintenance powered by artificial intelligence in the oil and gas market is transforming companies in the sector's asset management. This ensures better reliability and reduces operational risks, which is expected to drive the growth of the market in the future.
• For instance, in October 2023, C3 AI, the Enterprise AI application software company, announced that the C3 AI reliability application would include predictive maintenance software developed by Shell. This would strengthen the use of C3AI's AI ecosystem to maintain the oil company's critical equipment. This shows the increasing adoption of AI platforms in the oil and gas sector, supporting market growth.
• AI technologies present the potential for increased efficiency in oil and gas operations to find patterns, streamline workflows, automate decision-making, and examine enormous amounts of data from sensors, machinery, and industrial processes. Predictive maintenance solutions, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), can forecast equipment breakdowns beforehand, allowing oil & gas businesses to plan maintenance tasks in advance, save downtime, and maximize asset usage.
• The global AI in the oil and gas market is driven largely by the growing trend of lower production costs. In the face of fluctuating oil prices and shifting market dynamics, oil and gas businesses increasingly seek artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to optimize operations, streamline procedures, and alleviate costs.
• AI adoption is accelerating across industries, including the oil & gas sector, as it processes massive datasets across the value chain. AI can extract more value from data through machine learning that uncovers hidden insights. Optimizing complex operations enables oil & gas companies to reduce costs and enhance productivity.
• The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that after Russia invaded Ukraine, Russia cut 80 billion cubic meters (BCM) of pipeline gas supplies to Europe, which caused an energy crisis in the region. This impacted the operations of midstream and downstream companies in the oil and gas industry, restricting market growth.
• The European Union's objective to become self-sufficient in energy production with the emergence of renewable source-based energy initiatives can potentially hinder the growth of the oil and gas industry in the European region. This indirectly impacts market growth by limiting the implementation scope of AI solutions and services in the oil and gas industry.
• The COVID-19 pandemic led to a global shutdown and decreased economic activity worldwide, restricting the demand for oil used for industrial activity, travel, and other applications. The international crude oil price also fell during the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing production exploration activities in the oil and gas industries worldwide and impacting AI technology adoption in the market studied.
