OIL AND GAS PUMPS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Centrifugal Pumps and Positive Displacement Pumps

• Centrifugal Pumps: The most widely used pumps in oil and gas applications. They are capable of delivering large-sized quantities of fluid in a reasonably constant flow rate. The centrifugal pumps are based on centrifugal force principles, which makes them very suitable for handling either low-viscous liquids. Thus, these pumps are widely preferred for continuous operations in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications. Besides, the recent upgrades in material technology and design have enhanced their capacity to handle corrosive and abrasive fluids.
• Positive Displacement Pumps: Positive displacement pumps play a crucial role in an application for optimized flows that need to process high-viscosity or multiphase fluids. Such pumps trap a body of fluid in a chamber and push it out. They, therefore, give consistent operation with different pressures acting across the pump. These pumps prove to be the most effective in the upstream area, apart from chemical injection, and in the midstream for transferring crude oils. Recent designs are more intelligent about reliability and maintenance to address the rapidly changing needs concerning efficiency benchmarked by the industry.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Upstream, Midstream and Downstream

•  Upstream: The upstream part of oil and gas pumping involves extraction, drilling, and production operations such as lifting crude oil, injecting chemicals, and using pumps. Mostly, there are two types of pumps—displacement and centrifugal pumps—to perform in harsh environments with multiphase fluids. Majorly, in production, the two types of pumps are used for enhancing production efficiency. The advanced technologies in pumps are in use to counteract high-pressure operations and corrosive fluids in exploration activities.
• Midstream: The midstream mainly depends on oil and gas pumps for transporting crude oil and natural gas through pipelines and terminals. Most of the pipeline boosting is done with centrifugal pumps, and positive displacement is able to manage the higher viscosities. They have regulated flow and pressure, even over long distances, with minimum energy consumption. It is all designed for more efficiency, safety, and flexibility in the needs of a changing market.
• Downstream: Oil and gas pumps are used downstream for refining, petrochemical processing, and distribution of these finished products. That means the right kinds of pumps can handle a wide range of fluids, from light hydrocarbons to even very heavy oils, whether naphtha, kerosene, or, indeed, those that are even heavier quart oils. Accurate setting of flow rates and stringent adherence to environmental standards mark these pumps. Enhanced performance and compliance in complex downstream operations are what the innovations in pump technology support.
