 The Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Market 2012-2022The global market for floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) can be divided into two distinct areas: the conceptual floating liquefaction plants and the operational floating regasification units. Visiongain's new report addresses both of these markets, quantifying the opportunity for growth expected over the next ten years. In 2012, visiongain calculates the global FLNG market to be worth $2.92bn. |
 Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and Autonomous Operated Vehicles (AUV) in the Energy Market 2012-2022The energy sector has used unmanned underwater vehicles for around 40 years. Since their first introduction, functions and applications have grown extensively, becoming a vital component of the offshore oil & gas industry. An increase in underwater vehicle manufacturers has boosted competition and technological development, both improving vehicle capabilities and driving down costs. This change in market dynamics has led to a stable, exciting sector capable of significant market growth over the next ten years and more. Visiongain calculates that global expenditure on ROVs and AUVs in the energy sector in 2012 will total $1.52bn. |
 The Petrochemical Infrastructure Market 2012-2022The petrochemical infrastructure market has seen rapid growth over the past decade. Growth in demand for petrochemical products has been the major underlying driver of growth. The manufacturing and production of modern industrial and consumer goods requires polymers and derivatives of petrochemicals which are integral to almost every product. There is no sign of a change in this practice, as petrochemicals can provide a low cost and optimal product for the majority of manufacturing situations. Visiongain calculates global investment in the petrochemical infrastructure market will reach $64.1bn in 2012. |
 The Oil & Gas Infrastructure Security Market 2012-2022Over the next decade, global demand for oil & gas is set to rapidly increase as rising populations and economic growth help to drive the industry. This will create a need for additional oil & gas infrastructure to be constructed. At the same time, many countries around the world are currently facing a number of security challenges stemming from civil unrest, terrorist activities, and a competitive global market. Together, these factors will create substantial opportunities for companies involved in the oil & gas infrastructure security market as a range of products and services will be needed to protect both existing and future assets. |
 The Heavy Oil Market 2011-2021Discoveries of conventional sources of light easy-to-access crude oil are becoming less common and current oil production levels are struggling to match demand. New non-conventional sources of oil will need to be developed in order to supplement the conventional oil supply, which is seeing a slowdown in production growth. Heavy oil provides a fairly low risk option with vast known quantities of oil in place around the world. The increasing interest in this market has seen capital expenditure on upstream development of heavy oil resources reach $27.5bn in 2011. |
 The Oil & Gas Corrosion Prevention Market 2011-2021The oil and gas corrosion prevention market has great potential and a wide array of applications. In the oil and gas industry all companies from upstream exploration and production to those downstream in the distribution of oil and gas can benefit from the products and services of the corrosion prevention market. A number of solutions are available in corrosion prevention for both offshore and onshore protection and some of these solutions can be used in combination to provide long lasting corrosion protection. Visiongain calculates the global oil and gas corrosion prevention market to be worth $18.72bn in 2011. |
 The Carbon Capture & Storage / Sequestration (CCS) Technologies Market 2012-2022Carbon Capture & Storage / Sequestration (CCS) is an alternative and convenient technology to eliminate carbon dioxide before it is released in the atmosphere. It is one of the most innovative clean energy markets which will experience stable growth rates in the next ten years. Reduction in carbon dioxide emission has received increasingly global attention in the past few years because of accelerating climate change issues. Visiongain calculates that global expenditure on CCS technologies in 2012 will total $13.70bn. |
 The Oil & Gas Virtual Reality (VR) Training and Simulation Market 2011-2021The oil & gas virtual reality training and simulation market is set for strong growth over the next ten years as a combination of increasing demand for oil & gas, the retirement of the baby boomer generation, improving technologies, and increasing safety concerns help virtual reality technologies become more widespread. Visiongain calculates the oil & gas virtual reality training and simulation market - defined as spending on hardware, software and maintenance of virtual reality technologies - to be worth $2.24bn in 2011. |
 The Gas to Liquids Market 2011-2021The Gas to Liquids Market 2011-2021 analyses this dynamic growth market over the next 10 years. A combination of high oil prices, oversupply of natural gas, increasing global energy demands, and improving extraction technologies is creating a renewed interest in the gas to liquids market. Over the forecast period there is likely to be strong growth in the gas to liquids market as a number of countries look to utilise their natural gas resources by establishing or expanding their gas to liquids industries. Our research shows that global spending on gas to liquids technology R&D, along with construction of new and upgraded infrastructure will total $5.75bn in 2011. |
 The Oilfield Chemicals Market 2011-2021The market for oilfield chemicals is gaining strength as oil recovery from existing fields faces challenges of peak oil and enhanced chemical recovery is required to achieve maximum output. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to recover oil and gas from new fields, most of which lie in remote and hostile environments where extraction relies solely on drilling fluids. Visiongain calculates that global expenditure in the oilfield chemicals market will total $17.65bn in 2011. |
