Douglas Westwood Report: Russian Onshore Oilfield Services Market
18 June 2009
Douglas-Westwood has published the second edition of its acclaimed Russian Onshore Oilfield Services Market Report. A report detailing the multi-billion dollar opportunity in the sector, through to 2013.
“Russia has not been exempt from the effects of the global financial crisis and the industry is set for a period of downward pressure in both activity and pricing,” noted Rod Westwood, the lead Analyst on the report. Over 2009 and 2010 the Russian Onshore Oilfield Services (OFS) industry is set to see overall decline as downward pricing pressure and lower exploratory activity impacts the market, although development activity remains relatively stable.
While there will be reductions in activity and pricing in the services market, investment in exploiting the country's vast remaining oil & gas reserves will reverse this trend in two or three years time, driving expenditure in seismic acquisition, drilling and workover, which is expected to reach $27.1 billion by 2013. As the industry continues to look east to unlock new reserves; ideologies are looking to the west and the adoption of western business models, highlighted by a number of recent acquisitions in the sector and the continued divestment of traditional in-house OFS operators to independents.
This synthesis of Eastern and Western practices is carving out new opportunities in the OFS industry and opening up the Russian market in an unprecedented fashion, providing an invaluable opportunity for new players to capture a piece of this market which is positioned for future growth.
The Douglas-Westwood Russian Onshore Oilfield Services Market Report 2009-2013 provides a unique, systematic breakdown of the OFS industry by region, makes a comprehensive examination of future costing in the workover & drilling sectors and offers exclusive market forecasts.
In common with other reports in this acclaimed series, the report is designed for executive readers and does not assume the reader has a detailed technical knowledge of the subject or the characteristics of the Russian market, its evolution and buying practices.
