Offshore Corrosion Protection Market: Overview
- Offshore corrosion protection entails various corrosion protection technologies for offshore infrastructure such as ships, platforms, rigs, and offshore wind farms. Coatings, corrosion inhibitors, and cathodic protection are different types of offshore corrosion protection technologies.
- In offshore and marine environments, it is vital to engineer solutions to minimize the loss of equipment caused by oxidation. Corrosion in steel oil platforms can lead to damage and failure of the structure, loss of business, and even on-site accidents. Thus, offshore corrosion protection plays an important role in offshore infrastructure.
- Offshore corrosion causes economic losses, disturbs overall operations, and reduces efficiency. Furthermore, maintenance of offshore infrastructure is costly. Hence, demand for offshore corrosion protection has been rising in order to reduce the losses and smoothen operations.
Rise in Demand for Offshore Corrosion Protection to Drive Offshore Corrosion Protection Market
- Significant investments and efforts are required to keep the offshore infrastructure running. Most of the investments are required to protect the infrastructure that makes production possible.
- Corrosion adversely affects offshore operations. It may result in unsafe working conditions; make machines and platforms unreliable; or incur expenditure and consume time on the repair of installed offshore infrastructure.
- Corrosion of offshore marine structures is primarily caused by salt water, salt present in the air, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide in seawater, or sulfate-reducing bacteria. Corrosion significantly increases the maintenance cost of offshore structures.
- According to the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), the global cost of corrosion stood at US$ 2.5 Trn in 2016. However, the usage of available corrosion control practices can help lower the cost of corrosion by 15% to 35% of the total cost incurred per year worldwide. Thus, demand for offshore corrosion protection is anticipated to increase in the next few years, as the technology helps lower the maintenance cost and run offshore operations smoothly.
Technical Difficulties in Re-painting/Coating of Offshore Wind Turbine to Hamper Offshore Corrosion Protection Market
- Blades of wind turbines are exposed to severe humidity with salinity, UV light, wave actions, and splash zone areas. These cause high corrosive stress, leading to rapid corrosion of the blades.
- Coating of blades is a major concern in the offshore wind power generation industry, as blades are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions. These blades need to be coated with offshore corrosion protection coatings, as pitting can roughen their surface, thereby generating imbalance in these blades. This is likely to decrease turbine efficiency and increase maintenance costs.
- Coating of turbines and blades is considerably expensive, owing to the heavy equipment required to access the blades, which are 130 meters to 170 meters long in case of large wind farms
- Painting of offshore wind turbine blades is more expensive than painting of onshore blades, due to various factors such as logistics and the limited access to structures created by offshore weather conditions. Thus, difficulty in the application of coatings onto blades and supporting structures is anticipated to hamper the global offshore corrosion protection market during the forecast period.
Growth in Investments in Oil & Gas Industry to Offer Lucrative Opportunities for Offshore Corrosion Protection Market
- The energy sector witnessed surge in oil and gas project approvals in 2019. Demand for liquid fuel is expected to increase in the near future, owing to the rise in demand for these fuels from developing economies across the globe.
- Approximately 140 oil & gas discoveries were made in 2018. The total discovered oil & gas resources stood at around 9 billion barrels of oil equivalent in 2018 vis-à-vis 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent in 2017. Offshore discoveries accounted for 60% share, while gas resources held about 40% share of the total discovered resources in 2018. Growth in discovery of oil & gas fields/wells/blocks is estimated to boost the global offshore corrosion protection market during the forecast period.
- The total investment in the upstream sector was valued at US$ 477 Bn in 2018, while the total investment in downstream and refinery sectors was valued at US$ 249 Bn in the same year
- The oil & gas industry has been recovering at a steady pace after the sharp price drop in 2014. Introduction of automation and artificial intelligence has prompted companies to focus on the exploration and development of new oilfields.
- Thus, increase in investments in the oil & gas industry across the globe is projected to provide lucrative opportunities to the global offshore corrosion protection market
