According to The Business Research Company’s Offshore Decommissioning, The offshore decommissioning market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.88 billion in 2023 to $6.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing number of abandoned wells, the rising investments for the remediation of inactive oil and gas wells and the increasing mature offshore oilfields.

The offshore decommissioning market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the surge in government funding for well decommissioning and abandonment programs, the increasing exploration and production activities for oil and gas and rising demand for crude oil products. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing emphasis on decommissioning contracts with industry leaders, expanding acquisition efforts to increase geographic presence, growing importance of topside removal projects, strategic partnerships and collaborations among market players and innovations in subsea processing and transportation systems.

Increasing government investment in well-plugging and abandoned activities is expected to propel the offshore decommissioning market going forward. Well-plugging refers to plugging materials and techniques that permanently shut off an abandoned well from surface drainage contamination. Offshore decommissioning ensures that plugged wells do not leak after abandonment by shutting down offshore oil and gas production at a platform and restoring the ocean and seafloor to their pre-lease state. For instance, in May 2022, according to an article shared by Business Standard, an India-based English-language daily edition newspaper, $33 million would be spent by the US to remediate oil and gas wells on federal property. Further, 277 of the estimated 15k abandoned oil and gas wells on federal land would be clean with approximately $33 million of the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package just signed into law by President Joe Biden. The law would allocate $4.7 billion to repair abandoned oil and gas wells, including those on federal lands. Therefore, increasing government investment is driving the growth of the offshore decommissioning market.
