Oil & Gas Accumulator Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2028, Segmented By Type (Bladder, Piston, Diaphragm, and Spring), By Application (Blow Out Preventers (BOP), Mud Pumps, Offshore Rigs, and Others), By Deployment (Onshore, Offshore), By Region and Competition

Global oil & gas accumulator market is anticipated to grow at a steady pace in the forecast period, 2024-2028, owing to the increasing production of crude oil as a result of increasing power demand. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that world oil consumption climbed by 5.4 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2021. Oil and gas drilling exploration activities are predicted to expand along with the demand for crude oil, which will be a necessary corollary to the expansion of this industry. To fulfil the rising demand, companies have shifted into deeper and new exploration projects.

Oil and gas accumulators are hydro-pneumatic devices that have a high-pressure storage capacity for non-compressible fluid. Most hydro-pneumatic accumulators are utilized as bladder accumulators. In a pressure vessel made of forged or welded steel, nitrogen is added to it. Piston accumulators use pistons as a separating element for gas and liquid. The system is made up of cylinder tubes with an inter-surface designed for a high-pressure sealing system.

Rising Oil Exploration Operations Worldwide

By managing high-pressure variations, leakage correction, and noise reductions during drilling operations, oil and gas accumulators play a significant role in oil exploration operations. It is used in blow-out preventer (BOP) applications to seal gas wells and protect them from damage caused by unstable pressures and uncontrolled flow of gas from the well. As a result, oil and gas exploration companies are now more strongly committed to deploying oil and gas accumulators throughout exploration and drilling operations. Additionally, as industrial activity has grown, regulatory organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), and others have increased their focus on machinery that operates under very unpredictable pressure. All of these elements work together to increase demand for oil and gas accumulators, driving the expansion of the oil and gas accumulator market.

Furthermore, Oil and gas accumulators are used for a variety of tasks, such as pulsation dampening and noise reduction. They are available in a variety of forms. Due to the presence of operational rigs and continuous research into potential rigs for the future, the U.S. is expected to see tremendous expansion. The market is expanding as a result of increased drilling and production for unconventional energy sources including shale oil and sand oil.

Acceptance of Oil & Gas Accumulator in Energy Storage System

The government of both developed and emerging nations have increased investment in power generation, maximizing oil and gas production, and other end-use industries as a result of expanding industrialization, rising electrical consumption, and other factors. For instance, oil and gas accumulators are often used for energy storage, pressure management, leakage compensation, and other applications for the LNG Regasification Terminal, Versai East Development project for ONGC, and other companies. It is an essential component that is projected to present new possibilities in the market for oil and gas accumulators worldwide.

To boost Visakh refinery processing capacity from 8.33 million tons per year (Mtpa) to 15Mtpa, the HPCL Visakh refinery in Andhra Pradesh, in the year 2023,   capacity of the refinery was raised to 4.5Mtpa in 1985, 7.5Mtpa in 1999, and 8.3Mtpa in 2010. According to the HPCL statement in 2023, The HPCL's Visakha Refinery is set for further modernization and expansion with the cost of USD 318.89 crore. These factors are driving the market growth.

New Product Launch in the Market

The new product launch trend is gaining traction in the oil industry. As the oil & gas  industry, major players are launching new products such as different type of accumulators. For instance, the German-based equipment company Liebherr introduced piston accumulators for the 250–350 bar pressure range in May 2021. These function as an extra range for series manufacturing and can be utilized alone or as part of a system with other hydraulic components. This is useful for pistons with a diameter range of 100 to 360 mm. Due to this new product launch, market will grow further.

Growing Usage of Accumulators in BOP (Blow Out Preventors)

The drilling of multiple new wells is necessary due to the expanding demand for oil & gas. Accumulators are needed at each location for the BOP to function properly and prevent any tragic mishaps. The use of accumulators for the BOP's emergency operation is mandated by government rules for the safety of drilling and workover sites. A further factor propelling the oil and gas accumulator market over the projection period is the lower investment cost in onshore field development compared to offshore. Global natural gas production increased in 2019 to 3989.3 billion cubic metres (bcm), surpassing the region's output of 3857.5 bcm in 2018. Additionally, natural gas accounted for around 23.3% of the energy produced globally in 2019. The market for oil and gas accumulators is anticipated to be driven by the rising demand for and production of natural gas throughout the world, which is projected to have a beneficial effect on additional drilling and well workover operations.

In the past few years, numerous new oil and gas discoveries have been found in the area. In 2019, a new oil field with an estimated 50 billion barrels of oil was discovered in Iran's Khuzestan province. The growth of these recently found areas is anticipated to benefit the oil and gas accumulator industry. As a result of the aforementioned factors, the onshore sector is anticipated to grow in the oil and gas accumulators’ market through the forecast period.
