Growing at a healthy CAGR of 8.18% between 2014 and 2020, the global sand control systems market is estimated to reach US$4873.4 million by 2020, from US$2600 million in the year 2012. Sand control systems basically aim at minimizing the inflow of sand into natural gas and crude oil wells. The drilling process often leads to small particulates of disintegrated rocks and sand particles getting mixed with the natural gas and crude oil that are produced in the wells. This as a result, hinders and slows down the production process of natural gas and crude oil due to blockage caused by the sand in pipelines, separators, casing, flowlines, and tubing.

In certain extreme cases, the casing can even break because of unexpected changes in pressure and stress levels in the various rock formations. Furthermore, the sand can also damage the surface and downhole equipment. Apart from being tedious, the process of removing the coagulated sand from the wells during the process of drilling is also a very expensive proposition.

Global Sand Control Systems Market - Segmentation and Application

The global sand control systems market is segmented on the basis of techniques and geography. On the basis of techniques, the sand control systems market can be classified into stand-alone screens, frac packs, rate exclusion, gravel packing, plastic consolidation, and resin coated gravel. Stand alone screens are basically filters that are used extensively for controlling the production of sand. Cased-hole wells mostly make use of the frac pack process which entails gravel and frac packing. The frac pack method involves the run through of a screen in a well, followed by the pumping in of slurry at high pressure. Gravel packing is the last step in the frac pack method.

One of the oldest methods that is used in onshore as well as in offshore natural gas and crude oil wells is that of gravel packing. Factors like operational costs, grain size distribution, interval length, clay content, flow rate, and well deviation play a major role in determining the selection of sand control systems. This also depends on other miscellaneous factors like site-specific conditions, operating practices, and economic considerations.

The extensive application of gravel packing as a sand control system can be attributed to its low cost of implementation and its high success rate. The best part about gravel packing is that it can be applied in different types of well with varied deviations. The costs involved in gravel pack techniques are directly related to the rig costs.

Global Sand Control Systems Market - Regional Analysis and Key Players

Geographically, the sand control systems market is segmented into North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. As per industry forecasts, it is expected that the sand control systems market will be dominated by the Asia Pacific in the forthcoming years. The growth of the Asia Pacific sand control systems market can be attributed to greater demand for sand control systems due to increasing population in countries like China and India. As per industry estimates of 2013, South Korea, Japan, China, and India are the leading five importers of crude oil in the overall sand control systems market.

The sand control systems market in economies like Malaysia, Australia, Myanmar, and Indonesia will be fueled by higher incidence of drilling activities in these regions in the years to come. The sand control systems market in the rest of the world region is mainly driven by the discovery of offshore field in countries like Egypt, Mozambique, and Tanzania. The growth of this market in the areas of Latin America and West Africa can be attributed to greater drilling activities in these places especially in deep water and ultra-deep water reserves.

Companies these days are investing huge amount of funds for extracting enormous volumes of natural gas and crude oil from these regions. At present, several Middle Eastern countries are exporting huge quantities of crude oil to innumerable customers all over the world.

Some of the prominent players operating in the global sand control systems market are Welltec A/S, Weatherford International Ltd., Variperm (Canada) Limited, Superior Energy Services, Inc., Schlumberger Limited., Ceradyne, Inc., Halliburton Company, and Baker Hughes, Inc.
