The 2026-2031 World Outlook for Enhanced Oil Recovery

This study covers the world outlook for enhanced oil recovery across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. In this report we define the sales of enhanced oil recovery as including all commonly understood products and/or services falling within this broad category, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Air Liquide, Baker Hughes, BASF, BP, British Petroleum, Cairn Oil & Gas (India), Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, CHAMPIONX, Chevron (United States), China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), Clariant, CONOCO Phillips, Croda International, Ecopetrol (Colombia), Equinor, Exterran, Exxon Mobil Corporation, FMC Technologies, Halliburton, Husky Energy, Linde, Lukoil, Nalco Company, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Oxy (United States), Petrobras, Petroleo Brasileiro, Petroleum Development Oman (Oman), Petroliam Nasional Berhad, Praxair Technology, PREMIER Energy, Royal Dutch Shell, Schlumberger, Secure Energy Services, Statoil, Suncor Energy, TechnipFMC, Titan Oil Recovery, ULTIMATE EOR Services, and XYTEL Corporation. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category. All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2025).
