Zonal Isolation Market Size

Zonal Isolation Market Size

The global zonal isolation market size was valued at USD 24.9 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2034. Increasing focus on oil and gas well exploration and production activities, coupled with rising investments in offshore operations, augmenting the business landscape. The expanding capital expenditure budgets, in response to growing oil and gas demand, are driving the need for oilfield equipment and services, which in turn will propel the industry growth.

Growing interest in exploring deep and ultra-deep wells, known for their high potential, accelerating deep-water drilling activities, challenges in existing oil well production further accelerated the adoption of zonal isolation methods.
 

For instance, in December 2023, a Canadian operator identified severe corrosion in an adjacent well due to CO2 injection. The corrosion had deteriorated a 20-meter section of 5-1/2" casing. To effectively plug & abandon the primary wellbore, the operator engaged BiSN to install bismuth plugs in open hole at the upper and lower boundaries of CO2-charged lithology. This strategy aimed to create a gas-tight seal above and below the charged strata layer, effectively isolating the well from the source of corrosion.
