[198 Pages Report] The AC Electric Motor in Oil & Gas Market size was estimated at USD 14.64 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 15.60 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.96% to reach USD 23.45 billion by 2030.
An AC electric motor is an electric motor that utilizes alternating current (AC) as its source of power instead of direct current (DC). AC electric motors used across oil & gas industries use electromagnetic induction to create rotational motion, which can be used to power pumps and compressors. The alternating current type of electric motor has several advantages over DC motors, such as greater efficiency, higher starting torque, and variable speed control capabilities. The demand for AC electric motors in the oil & gas industries is driven by the increased need for energy efficiency and reliability due to the harsh operating conditions. Additionally, AC electric motors offer superior speed control and monitoring capabilities. The use of AC electric motors across onshore oil & gas industrial procedures has increased significantly due to the ability of motors to work in varying environmental conditions and longer life cycles compared to other types of motors. However, the high costs associated with AC electric motors and complex operating procedures limit their adoption across oil & gas industries. The ongoing advancements, including the deployment of predictive maintenance capabilities in AC electric motors, are expected to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
Product Type: Increasing usage of synchronous motor owing to its relatively low maintenance requirements
Induction motors use electromagnetic current to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. Induction motors are normally used for driving pumps, compressors, fans, and other equipment in oil & gas facilities. Synchronous motors operate at a constant speed and maintain synchronization with the frequency of the power supply. A synchronous motor runs at a constant speed, independent of the load, and it is driven by a self-starting, alternating current (AC) power source. They are reliable and have relatively low maintenance requirements due to their robust nature. Synchronous motors offer increased efficiency over traditional AC motors, operating at a frequency optimized for the specific application. They are commonly used in high-power compressors, generators, and critical processes requiring precise speed control.
Voltage: Growing utilization of AC electric motors with range of 1 kV to 6.6 kV in high power applications
AC electric motors with a voltage rating of less than 1 kilovolt (kV) are often employed in smaller equipment such as pumps, fans, blowers, and smaller compressors in oil & gas facilities. AC electric motors with a voltage rating ranging from 1 kV to 6.6 kV and higher than 6.6 kV are widely used in medium to high power applications in the oil & gas industry. These motors are commonly employed in larger compressors, generators, pumps, and other heavy-duty equipment. AC electric motors with a more than 6.6 kV voltage possess several key characteristics, including higher power output, greater efficiency, and improved overload capacity. These motors are typically designed for continuous duty operations and have higher torque ratings than lower voltage models.
Output Power (HP): Emerging application of >1 HP motor in small equipment and devices of the oil & gas industry
AC electric motors with an output power rating of less than 1 horsepower (HP) are commonly used for low-power applications in the oil & gas industry. These motors are typically used in small equipment and devices such as pumps, fans, blowers, and instrumentation. AC electric motors with an output power rating higher than 1 horsepower (HP) are widely used in the oil & gas industry for medium to high-power applications. They offer higher power output and are designed to handle more demanding operational requirements.
Mode of Operation: Growing utilization of AC electric motors in offshore operations to withstand harsh marine environments
In offshore operations, AC electric motors are employed in the oil & gas industry to withstand harsh marine environments, including high humidity, saltwater exposure, and potentially corrosive conditions. They are used in various offshore applications, including drilling rigs, production platforms, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, subsea systems, and other offshore equipment. AC electric motors are extensively used in onshore oil & gas operations involving land activities. Onshore motors are installed in various equipment and facilities, such as drilling rigs, pumping stations, refineries, pipelines, compressor stations, and storage terminals. AC electric motors used in the onshore oil & gas industry must have the ability to withstand various factors, including temperature variations, dust, and potential exposure to flammable or hazardous materials.
Regional Insights
The oil & gas sector in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa is rapidly expanding due to significant investments and growing advancements toward Industry 4.0, further accelerating the demand for AC electric motors to improve production and distribution capabilities. As per the World Population Review, Russia produces 10,503,000 barrels of oil per day, while Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, and Iran produce 10,225,000 barrels per day, 4,260,000 barrels per day, 2,954,000 barrels per day, 2,610,000 barrels per day, and 2,546,000 barrels per day respectively. Furthermore, due to the rising demand for gas and the declining domestic supply, countries in Southeast Asia are actively transitioning to become net gas importers. According to the 2021 report by the International Affairs Institute (IAI), gas plays a crucial role in the regional energy mix and is Southeast Asia’s second most consumed energy. Thus, the Asian economies are heavily investing in oil & gas production and distribution, supporting the use of AC electric motors in the Asia-Pacific region. Moreover, the ongoing development and advancement in AC electric motors and supportive investments for onshore oil infrastructures in the Americas have expanded the scope of AC electric motors. Market players in the Americas are investing in research to develop smart/intelligent motor systems with enhanced safety features and are leveraging advanced materials to create more efficient and reliable AC electric motors for the oil & gas industry.
