Global Well Test Market 2019 Review: Forecast to 2023

1. Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Well Test Market. A well test is the analysis of acquired data in order to broaden the knowledge and understanding of hydrocarbon properties and underground reservoirs. It involves taking measurements while flowing fluids from the reservoirs. The gathered data is used to determine the viability at various phases of exploration, appraisal, and development of the well. The global well test market is expected to garner exponential growth during the forecast period. This growth is owed to a rising spending in the exploration & production (E&P) sector, and recent stabilization of prices in the oil and gas industry. According to the latest report published by Market Research Future, the global well test market is estimated to showcase an upward CAGR of 6% between 2016-2022. Segmental Analysis The global well test market has been studied in various segments for an in-dept analysis. The market has been segmented on the basis of type, services, and region. On the basis of type, the market has been bifurcated into onshore and offshore. Whereas, based on service the well test market has been segmented into real-time testing, surface testing, reservoir testing, and downhole well testing. Downhole well testing segment is expected to garner a significant market growth during the assessment period. The segment of real-time testing held the largest market share in 2013 and is expected to continue dominating the well test market during the forecast period. Such growth in the real-time testing segment is driven due to stabilized and optimized results. Detailed Regional Analysis The global well test market has been regionally segmented into North America, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). North America is estimated to lead the global well test market owing to a rise in the shale and drilling activities in the region. Increased exploration activities in Canada are propelling demand for well testing in the region. Middle East and Europe is anticipated to register substantial growth during the forecast period due to an increase in the offshore and onshore drilling activities. Asia Pacific is also predicted to witness notable growth, owing to rapid increase in the E&P activities in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India. Rise in drilling activities in newly
