The ROV Market:

Infield Systems’ new ROV market report focuses on the global supply and demand for work class underwater vehicles. The in-depth study looks at demand from the oil, gas, offshore wind farm and communication sectors for ROV services. The supply side analysis provides details of light, medium and heavy work class ROV numbers and overall capabilities.

Against a backdrop of high oil prices and optimistic spending plans Infield Systems predict an increase of 43% in overall demand over the next five years to 1.3m ROV days or equivalent to 847 work class ROVs per year.

ROVs are used for a wide spectrum of activities across all life-of-field phases in the offshore oil and gas industry, offshore wind farm and communication sectors. This includes the drilling and development of wells, installation and construction of production facilities, inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) and decommissioning. The report analyses demand from a number of these market segments and analysis is presented by categories such as: ROV type, life-of-field stage, facility type, water depth, region, country and operator. A carefully researched estimate of the current work class ROV fleet is also provided, along with analysis of the combined supply and demand position.

Drilling support, installation and IRM activities will be overwhelmingly responsible for driving the expected growth in ROV demand over the next five years. Going forward Infield Systems forecasts North America and Africa to have the largest demand for ROVs, closely followed by Latin America and Europe. It is Asia and Australasia, however, that are expected to experience the largest growth in demand between over the next five years.

As IOC’s look to replace their depleting reserves, oil and gas development has been characterised by a move to ever deeper waters. This has coincided with ROVs becoming an ever more useful technology with their ability to work in depths inaccessible for divers. The demand profile by depth anticipates large rises in demand for work class ROVs capable of operating in depths greater than 1,000 metres.

The last decade has seen a remarkable growth in the number of operational ROVs around the world. Infield Systems estimate that the worldwide fleet of light, medium and heavy work class ROVs servicing global energy requirements currently stands at 887 with around 210 of these falling into the light work class category, which are suitable for inspection duties. The remaining 667 medium and heavy work class vehicles tend to be electro-hydraulic and have a higher power rating than the smaller light work class units.

The growth in ROV market has been stymied somewhat by the lull in demand seen since the global financial crisis in 2008. This downturn in demand coincided with a high number of ROVs in the market, which led to a drop in utilisation rates among some of the large operators. Infield Systems predicts that any slack in regional markets will be squeezed by the increasingly robust demand that is expected 2011 to 2015.
