据离岸工程8月27日报道称，全球移动式海上钻井平台（MODU）市场将在2019至2023年间以近9％的年复合增长率扩张。

根据ResearchAndMarkets的一份报告，能源消耗的增加促进了对石油和天然气需求的增长。发展中国家的快速城市化正在增加对液体燃料和天然气等能源的需求。为满足对能源的高需求，油气公司将增加其勘探与生产活动。

由于海上油气井的生产周期较陆上油气井更长，因此海上钻井活动增长显著。

随着油气勘探作业进入更远的地方和更深的水域，制造商正在改进MODU的技术，以应对钻井挑战、监管规定和油气项目的经济效益。最近油气行业的发展重点是自动化，这提高了工人的安全性和油气钻探的效率。

设备的改进不仅会提高油田产量，还会增加海上钻井用MODU的采用率。预计这一发展将对整体市场增长产生积极影响。

MODU Market to Grow 9% by 2023

The global mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) market will expand at a CAGR of almost 9% during 2019-2023, said a report.

According to a report by ResearchAndMarkets, the demand for oil and gas is increasing due to rising consumption of energy. The rapid urbanization of the developing countries is increasing the need for energy such as liquid fuels and natural gas. To cater to the high demand for energy, oil and gas companies will increase their E&P operations.

As offshore oil and gas wells have a longer production period than onshore oil and gas wells, offshore drilling activities have significantly increased.

With oil and gas E&P operations moving into further remote locations and deeper waters, manufacturers are improving the technologies in MODU to cater to the drilling challenges, regulations, and oil and gas project economics. The recent focus of the oil and gas industry is automation, which improves the safety of workers and the efficacy of oil and gas drilling.

Improvements in equipment will not only boost oilfield production but also increase the adoption of MODUs for offshore drilling. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
