Factors Shaping the Rig and Oilfield Mats Market

Growing Remote Operations in the Oil & Gas Industry

Key players in the oil and gas industry are entering remote areas for exploration, drilling, and production activities. Key oil and gas operators in these regions are acquiring contracts for such remote sites. Some of these remote sites are exposed to wet and humid conditions. Such an environment is also not suitable for common operations and hence, matting solutions are required. Thus, drilling operations in remote sites are directly driving the adoption of rig and oilfield mats.

US-based oil and gas operators are moving towards Alaska and other sites for drilling applications, which is expected to drive the rig and oilfields mats market growth in the near future.
Increasing Adoption of Composite Mats

Sales of composite mats are being driven by Western European countries and the US. This is majorly due to the reduction in the quality of timber. Wood mat manufactures are currently switching to composite or engineered mats in these regions. In addition, governing bodies in the US, Canada, and European Union have laid regulations to stop environmental degradation. Though wood mats are cheaper than composite mats, users prefer composite mats over wood mats, due to differences in quality.
Minimizing Local Environmental Concerns

Environmental concerns regarding deforestation have strongly impacted the production and sales of wood mats in European countries. Strong regulations have been laid globally to curb the production of wood mats. According to the Texas Forest Commission, it takes 60 years to grow a milling size tree for a wood mat. In addition to that, oil field equipment, cranes, offshore equipment and other heavy duty equipment, are getting bigger and thus, require strong and quality wood mats in wet field conditions. Industrial applications in construction industry, offshore wind energy infrastructure, etc., are also looking for products that offer stronger lifecycle and are lower in cost, which is reducing the adoption rate of wood mats, in turn, creating opportunities for manufacturers of composite, engineered, or custom-fabricated mats. It is estimated that these mats provide five times the service life of wood mats.
