据烃加工在线7月23日消息称，据全球市场洞察公司最新研究报告，到2025年，数字油田市场规模将超过390亿美元。

随着技术的不断进步，行业参与者对物联网、分析和云计算潜力的认识日益增强，将推动数字油田市场的增长。通过“工业4.0”或“第四次工业革命”推广先进科技，以及政府推行提升本地科技能力的计划，将会扩大业界的视野。

成熟油田数量的不断增加以及资源的经济回收需求将推动欧洲数字油田市场的增长。俄罗斯和罗马尼亚的大量油田已达到成熟期。各公司正在采用提高采收率的方法来提高产量。先进的解决方案，包括储层优化和试井设施，将帮助运营商采取必要的行动，同时节省昂贵的采收率成本。

随着油价回升，勘探和生产活动的增加，将提高数字油田的市场份额。随着新油田的发现，钻机数量的增加将为投资者提供可观的增长前景。例如，美国的钻井平台数量从2017年的900个增加到2018年的945个。

由于经济对石油生产和贸易的依赖，越来越多的企业需要转型经营，这将刺激中东的数字油田市场。该地区的大部分投资是在沙特阿拉伯和科威特进行的。这些公司已开始采用新的数字化解决方案，以提高产量和回报。该地区的主要投资者包括科威特石油公司、沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司和阿布扎比国家石油公司。科威特石油公司计划在2019年启动KwIF项目的第二阶段，该公司在该阶段整合了多项业务，包括优化油田资产、实时监测和建模。

对大规模资本投资的需求，以及对战略规划钻井作业的日益增长的需求，将通过钻井优化来促进数字油田市场的发展。提高井的复杂性和低油价是推动先进钻井解决方案需求的主要因素。此外，它还进一步提高了安全性，降低了钻井风险，最大限度地减少了非生产时间，同时为项目提供可能促进其采用的指导。

技术成本的下降以及行业并购的不断增长，将通过信息技术推动数字油田的市场规模。此外，技术和业务战略的日益整合，迫使油气公司创新和开发广泛的IT基础设施和服务。

Digital oilfield market size to exceed US$39 billion by 2025, says Global Market Insights

The size of the digital oilfield market size will surpass US$39 billion by 2025, as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc.

Ongoing advancements in technology along with a growing awareness among industry players regarding the potential of IoT, analytics and cloud computing will drive the digital oilfield market's growth. Prevailing technology promotion through Industry4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution along with government programmes to enhance the domestic technological capabilities will augment the industry landscape.

The growing number of mature fields along with a need for economic recovery of resources will propel Europe's digital oilfield market growth. Large number of fields across Russia and Romania have reached their maturity. Companies are adopting enhanced oil recovery methods to boost production. Advanced solutions, including reservoir optimisation and well testing facilities, will help operators to take necessary action while saving cost on expensive recovery methods.

Growing exploration and production activities on account of recovering oil prices will enhance the digital oilfield's market share. Increased rig count along with discoveries of new oilfields will provide substantial growth prospects for investors. For instance, the US's rig count increased from 900 in 2017 to 945 in 2018.

A growing need to transform business operations on account of economic dependency on oil production and trade will stimulate the Middle East's digital oilfield market. The majority of the investment in the region is witnessed across Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The companies have started adopting new digitalised solutions in order to boost their production output and returns. Major investors across the region include Kuwait Oil Company, Saudi Aramco, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. In 2019, Kuwait Oil Company has planned to initiate phase two of KwIF project in which it has integrated operations involving optimisation of field assets, real time surveillance and modelling.

Requirement of large capital investments along with a growing need for strategically planned drilling operations will foster the digital oilfield market by drilling optimisation. Increasing well complexity and low oil prices are the prime factor instigating the requirement of advanced drilling solutions. In addition, it further offers enhanced safety, reduces drilling risk, minimises nonproductive time while providing guidance for the project that are likely to boost its adoption.

Declining technology costs along with growing industry merger and acquisitions will drive the digital oilfield's market size by information technology. In addition, growing integration of technology and business strategies are compelling oil and gas companies to innovate and develop extensive IT infrastructure and services.
