Increased Demand for High-Quality Base Oil There is an increased demand for high-quality base oil to preserve the depletion of crude oil reserves and government regulations to limit the level of CO2 in the environment. These stringent measures drive the heightened demand for high-quality base oil, pushing industries to increase their capacity for base stock. In addition, regulatory mandates regarding the use of base oil also fuel the capacity of base oil. The industries in the U.S., Western Europe (such as Germany and France), and Brazil have Group II base stock capacity, and more are added to meet the increased demand for Group II base oil. Conversely, industries in India, Russia, and Mexico have low re-refining capacity. This is primarily due to the low demand for base stocks due to an abundant supply of virgin ones. Therefore, the rising demand for high-quality base oil is expected to push the need for more drilling activities further, thereby increasing and boosting the growth of the drilling tools market. Technological Advancement in Drilling Tools Early advancements in drilling technology obtaining innovative approaches for better drilling efficiency were based on three primary factors: minimum, safety, and usable hole. These technologies include multilateral drilling, horizontal drilling, extended reach drilling, casing drilling technology, complex path drilling, positive displacement laser technology, and motor technology, a newer technology. The evolution in drilling technologies advanced over the last five to ten years for offshore and onshore development has been attentive to several distinct areas of drilling operations, including the optimization & monitoring of surface equipment, downhole tools, and drilling methodologies. Proven technologies seek to decrease operational costs and well construction while providing maximum operational efficiency and environmental safety. These innovations have improved drilling efficiency, safety, and environmental performance and continue to offer advancements in the oil and gas industry. INDUSTRY RESTRAINS
Turbulent Global Political and Trade Relations The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has had far-reaching humanitarian and economic effects. The energy sector is especially susceptible. Russian oil production and exports remain despite the restrictions, but additional losses are expected. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, there has been a significant shift in the global energy environment. Rising costs have severely impacted consumers in many parts of the world, mainly due to the geopolitical surrounding energy security. The world's reliance on fossil fuels, along with the associated resource instability and cost, has come into clear view. In 2023, 70.72% of the fluctuation in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices and 73.62% in Brent crude oil prices could be attributed to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The crisis in Ukraine has disrupted the economy, increasing calls for an accelerated energy transformation. The conflict has resulted in high inflation and supply chain issues, improving the financial crisis results. Since the transportation sector relies heavily on liquid fossil fuels, firms in the drilling tools market have been hampered by these issues, which are expected to slow down the market for drilling tools.
