Subsea Theme Analysis Market Report Overview

In the oil and gas industry, subsea deals with all the processes and technologies that are deployed below the sea surface. It primarily concerns the installation of equipment on the seabed to produce hydrocarbons. Furthermore, subsea technology has proven to be profitable in waters at a variety of depths. The core idea of subsea is to move much of the equipment and processes down to the seabed. Additionally, technological advances have played a great role in boosting subsea, while rising demand for oil and growth in the mature offshore fields forced companies to increase production activities on the seabed.

Subsea equipment manufacturers have been working to reduce the cost of machinery installed on the seabed for deep water production. Their efforts in streamlining material procurement, optimizing subsea architecture, and simplifying equipment installation have brought about an overall reduction in the complexity of subsea systems. Besides, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors have managed to lower the project execution cycle time to further improve the viability of subsea developments. Decarbonizing offshore projects is extremely challenging due to limited access to clean energy sources. Subsea equipment typically runs on hydraulic power supplied via diesel generators installed on topside platforms.

The Subsea Technologies thematic intelligence report provides an overview of subsea as a theme within the offshore oil and gas industry, encompassing shallow water, deep water, and ultra-deep water terrains.

Subsea Technologies in Oil and Gas – Industry Analysis

Global offshore production was valued at 46.1 MMboed in 2021. From 2017 to 2021, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Norway, Brazil, and the US led in terms of offshore production. During this period, shallow water explorations dominated overall offshore activities. The growth in deep water production can be mainly ascribed to the growing demand for oil and gas globally, as the countries are increasingly trying to reduce their reliance on Russian crude. This would encourage oil and gas companies to venture into less explored deep-water regions.

Subsea Technologies in Oil and Gas - Value Chain Analysis

The oil and gas value chain represents a sequence of activities from exploration to the sale of hydrocarbons, all the way to end-users. The process includes upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Meanwhile, subsea involves the exploration, drilling, and development of oil and gas fields on the sea bed to produce and store hydrocarbons. Subsea systems are primarily designed for the upstream segment of the oil and gas value chain. These are installed on the ocean floor to support the extraction of hydrocarbons at an optimum flow. This has proven to be beneficial as it reduces capex and operational expenditure (opex) associated with offshore production and eliminates the need for fixed platforms.

GlobalData’s Subsea Technologies value chain in oil and gas industry is split into six segments: equipment, infrastructure, installation, inspection, intervention, and decommissioning.

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
