U.S. oil storage market in 2017 was over 80 million cubic meters, driven by positive outlook toward the development of unconventional O&G fields along with availability of resources including advanced technology.

Sellbyville, DE -- (SBWire) -- 02/18/2019 --In the last few years, the oil & gas industry has been a subject of constant turbulence, given the sharp drop in oil prices. Oil storage market, in this regard, seems to have weathered the storm of the 2015 plummet and has bounced back with considerable accomplishments. As a result of the global supply-demand imbalance and overabundance of crude oil, oil storage industry has witnessed a dramatic surge that has led to massive investment trends in this business sphere. According to reliable reports, the global oil storage market was recorded at over 1 billion cubic meters in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3% over 2018-2024.

Quite overtly, the tremendous volatility of oil prices has been the prime factor that has been driving industry players to invest in oil storage facilities. The increased hydrocarbon production from Iran, Nigeria, Libya and the prolonged demand-supply mismatch have critically affected international crude oil trade. For the record, in November 2017, domestic crude oil production recorded its highest level in the U.S. history. Moreover, the average annual OPEC crude price underwent a dramatic decline from USD 109.45/barrel in 2012 to USD 52.51/barrel in 2017. This significant collapse of crude prices in the recent times has given a boost to the financial dynamics of this business space and has further attracted a plethora of development plans.

Citing an instance, one of the largest midstream oil & gas operators of Canada, Keyera has recently announced that it will be developing a crude oil storage terminal 'Wildhorse' in Cushing, Oklahoma. Keyera has been expanding its midstream infrastructure in the U.S., which is touted to be one of the largest crude oil storage & trading hubs in North America. It has been reported that the Wildhorse terminal will help Keyera in strengthening its footprints across the U.S. oil storage market, while providing the company with an extended crude oil value chain. Experts speculate that the move will offer the company ample opportunities to capture business & marketing margins across the U.S.

Keyera's new pipeline connections to the Wildhorse terminals will also provide its customers with access to a majority of the crude oil streams flowing cross Cushing. The new facility, according to reliable sources will be operational by mid-2020. If experts are to be believed, the oil storage development move has considerably augmented the U.S. oil storage market size, which was pegged over 80 million cubic meters in 2017. U.S. has been one of the dominant growth grounds, with crude oil production from the unconventional oilfields accounting for more than half of the total crude oil output of U.S. in 2017. With further developments of unconventional oil & gas terminals in the region, estimates claim U.S. oil storage market to tread along a lucrative growth path in the years ahead.

Taking into account the overall debatable scenario of the crude oil industry, Russia is another prominent nation making forays into the oil storage market. Rigorous R&D activities pertaining to the development of oil & gas fields have significantly propelled Russia oil storage market to witness notable growth prospects. For the record, the country holds around 680 Tcf of reserves in Russian subsoil, of which 75% accounts for hydrates, 7% CBM, 15% tight gas, and 3% accounts for shale gas. The government of Russia has also been opening its domestic marketplace for global investors to develop their O&G projects. Analysts deem that with a mean daily output of 11 million barrels/day Russia will emerge as a rewarding oil storage hub in the following years.

Considering that oil & gas industry is currently facing major headwinds, the growth prospects of oil storage market seem quite positive. Industry experts predict the future of oil & gas market to be less volatile in the coming years, owing to significant capitalization on shale resources that can feed the changing demand. Obviously, the robust growth of battery operated electric vehicles has posed major risks to the dynamics of the oil & gas industry, however, these vehicles will take a significant amount of time for mass acceptance.

It is also imperative to note that since the beginning of the shale revolution some 10 years ago, the world has discovered 110 billion barrels of oil, while total consumption was recorded around 360 billion barrels. It seems almost certain that this significant 250-billion-barrel deficit in between discoveries & consumption will grow in the ensuing years. On the whole, recent oil discoveries, massive investments, and refurbishment trends are certain to stimulate the global oil storage market , which is anticipated to exceed 1.2 billion cubic meters by 2024.
