The global enhanced oil recovery market size is expected to reach USD 62.17 Billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2025 to 2030. A growing number of aging wells witnessing declining production rates, coupled with rising government investment in research and development activities, is likely to drive the market for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) over the forecast period.
Increasing technological advancements are enabling E&P companies to revive old wells and thus attain optimum production. This trend is estimated to positively influence the EOR industry landscape. The increasing number of mature wells and significant investment in R&D activities for new technology development by various market players to improve the oil recovery process are expected to fuel the growth of the industry.
Industry participants enter into several strategic collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures in order to expand their foothold across various regional markets and develop economic technologies. The technologies used in EOR are mostly in-housed by the companies. To further reduce the overall operational costs, market players procure raw materials such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, polymer, and others from small-scale regional players.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the oil and gas market with drastically plummeting oil prices resulting in delayed drilling projects. The demand for crude oil is anticipated to drop further due to reduced industrial activity and transport due to COVID-19. These factors are expected to negatively affect the growth of the market in the near future.
