Drivers and Restraints
The function of manifolds is to merg
the flow from the multi-well system and move the flow to the flow lines of
production and to control the delivery of injected water , gas and chemicals.
Any field under development process for producing oil from the subsea beds will
provide the subsea
manifolds market. Manifolds are among the largest cost-effective and
operating efficient oil field development systems while reducing subsea
pipeline and riser demand.
The subsea collectors are designed to
combine, distribute, control and monitor fluid flow from the wells. The subsea
manifolds are either installed in deep sea beds by conventional methods
involving cable installation and drilling risers, or by non-conventional
methods including sheave installation method and pendulous installation method.
Facts such as the increasing number of
offshore oil detections, more multi-well templates in the subsea beds and
severe geography drilling in offshore basins drive the subsea manifold market.
Five of ten new oil discoveries were made in deep-water setting in 2017. The
subsea beds are physically tougher than onshore. So it needs superior
infrastructure.
The types of subsea manifolds that
include template manifolds, cluster manifolds and end manifolds of pipelines
are designed to withstand harsh and ultradeep conditions. Subsea manifold
industry is expected to have a sharp rise in technology advances over the
forecast period due to ongoing oil industry developments along with an
increasing number of offshore location projects. In addition, due to the focus
on offshore field development infrastructure, the market is expected to
experience high expansion activities by major players. However, the lower crude
oil prices are hindering the subsea manifold market.

Segmental Analysis
Global Subsea Manifolds market has
been segmented on the basis of products, application and regions. Based on the
products, the market is further segmented as cluster manifold, template
manifold, and pipeline end manifold. Among this classification, cluster
manifold segment is expected to lead the market for subsea manifolds. Cluster
manifolds are superior to template manifolds as they provide flexibility in the
segregation of wells, may include chemical injection, unlike the typical
manifolds, and may allow the reuse of wells for explorations. The market is
bifurcated as production and injection based upon application. The injection
application can also be classified among these segments as gas injection, water
injection and chemical injection.
Regional Overview
The market is segmented in the four
regions of North America, AsiaPacific, Europe and the rest of the world,
geographically speaking.
During the forecast period the global
Subsea
production systems market is expected to witness remarkable growth. Europe
region is expected to dominate the forecast period with the largest market
share. In April 2018 Norwegian oil major Statoil began installing the first
topside for offshore Norway's Johan Sverdrup field development. A higher number
of projects in the North Sea deep locations are likely to boost the subsea
manifold market.
The region of North America is likely
to take market share with discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico. W&T Offshore
Inc. and GE's Baker Hughes have signed a strategic partnership for W&T's
Gulf of Mexico exploration and development plan in 2018. A greater number of
projects are also coming from Africa 's Mediterranean Sea region, which will
drive the subsea manifold market in the African region.
