Middle East & Africa Well Intervention Market Size

The Middle East & Africa well intervention market size was valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2024 and is set to experience a growth rate of 6.4% from 2025 to 2034. Increasing number of mature oil & gas resource fields, together with rising demand for refined petroleum products due to urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies, complementing the industry landscape. The development & expansion of aging oilfields and the growing need for logging services, driven by changes in well geological substructures, contributes to the industry growth.
 

Ongoing exploration of oil & gas reserves across offshore locations together with investments by firms toward the development of new reserves will influence the business dynamics. For instance, in September 2024, BP Egypt identified a substantial gas reservoir north of Damietta city, positioned near its Temsah offshore operations. The Salamat exploration project, undertaken in the North Damietta Offshore region, marked a milestone as the Nile Delta's deepest well. Using advanced drilling equipment, the operation penetrated substantial depths, revealing gas and condensate deposits within Oligocene formations.
