Global oil and gas production companies have gone through significant turbulence for most of the period. The pandemic and its accompanying lockdowns severely disrupted producers as revenue fell double digits and the industry's largest market, the transportation sector, was limited. This was quickly reversed as the economy opened and supply outpaced demand, causing prices to skyrocket. High prices, accompanied by swelling production, led to surging revenue. While prices eventually came back down late in the period, they remained high. Overall revenue has pushed up at a CAGR of 6.0% to $4.2 trillion through the end of 2024, including a slight 1.9% uptick in 2024 alone. Profit also surged as purchase costs came down. Emerging markets in BRIC nations, Southeast Asia and Africa continue to drive growth because of rapid industrialization and population increases, heightening the need for crude oil, natural gas and related downstream products. Even so, the gradual shift toward renewable energy poses challenges for producers, as many countries have implemented regulations and incentives to promote clean energy use. Geopolitical tensions and the uncertainties stemming from the global pandemic underscore the importance of diversifying supply sources to ensure energy security. Overall, industry revenue is set to push down at a CAGR of 3.6% to $3.5 trillion through the end of 2029. The bulk of this period will be highlighted by more efforts in oil and gas exploration and production in emerging markets, potentially transforming these regions into major global producers. Even so, the excess supply of oil and gas, combined with the push for sustainability, will drive prices down, leading to revenue contractions.

Oil and gas producers have experienced high volatility in recent years. The pandemic halted the economy and ripped away steady growth as restrictions limited the need for oil and gas. The conflict in Ukraine added to the uncertainty, as the reliance on Russian oil and gas was distributed between domestic producers and other sources. As the economy recovered, the need for oil and gas shot up quicker than supply could match, causing prices to surge and generating substantial returns. Nonetheless, this growth was short-lived as prices fell in 2023 and 2024, causing revenue to dip, despite massive upticks in production. Overall, revenue has swelled at a CAGR of 10.7% over the five years, reaching $509.4 billion in 2025, including a 3.9% uptick in 2025 alone. Exports of crude oil and natural gas from the United States had long been banned with few exceptions, but legislation passed in 2016 overturned this rule and dramatically changed the industry. Exports pushed up dramatically as producers sought to capitalize on opportunities abroad. They have continued to climb in recent years, becoming essential to producers' success. Sanctions placed on Russian energy have bolstered export growth, with the Netherlands becoming the largest US energy export market late over the current period. Innovation in drilling technology will drive the performance of producers forward, but environmental concerns and increasing pressure to convert to renewables will limit success. Fossil fuel prices will weaken steadily but remain high, providing solid profit for producers. The trade-weighted index falling over the outlook period will benefit exports and reduce import penetration. European countries continuing to reduce their reliance on Russian energy may provide US producers with new opportunities. Nonetheless, imports and exports to and from Mexico and Canada may be impacted if reflationary energy tariffs are instated. Overall, revenue is set to dip at a CAGR of 2.3% to $452.5 billion through the end of 2030.

Oil and gas field service providers are directly tied to oil and gas production, so the industry typically follows trends that are significant to that industry (IBISWorld Report 21111). The period started off on a low note as the pandemic massively weakened production, cutting down the need for field service providers as the number of rigs operating saw a steep drop. This drop carried on in 2021 but resurged in 2022, driven by favorable pricing because of supply chain issues from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which briefly bolstered field services providers. This revenue growth carried on into 2023 and 2024 as production continued to push up. Even so, prices took a dip, so growth was not as significant. Overall revenue pushed up at a CAGR of 1.4%, reaching $101.5 billion through 2025, including a 1.9% push down in 2025 as oil and gas prices are set to fall. Amid these fluctuations, the adoption of advanced enhanced oil recovery techniques initially benefited oil and gas field services providers as companies enlisted support for new technologies. Yet, increased efficiency led to a reduced need for rigs, fundamentally constraining growth for oil and gas field service providers. Despite this, profit has swelled amid lower operational costs. Nonetheless, with this uptick in efficiency, field service providers have cut down their workforce as employment has pushed down at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2020 to 2025. Looking ahead, oil and gas field services providers are poised to enjoy modest growth. The stabilization of natural gas and crude oil prices will continue, allowing for more investment in the industry and providing a much-needed boost to field service providers. Even so, the continued push for investment in renewable energy poses a competitive threat. Despite these challenges, US oil and gas producers will sustain robust production levels, particularly for exports, which will positively influence field service providers. The need for natural gas will also support growth in this sector. Overall, revenue for oil and gas field services providers is set to climb at a CAGR of 0.5%, reaching $104.0 billion in 2030.
