NAICS 213112 - Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in performing support activities on a contract or fee basis for oil and gas operations (except site preparation and related construction activities). Services included are exploration (except geophysical surveying and mapping); excavating slush pits and cellars, well surveying; running, cutting, and pulling casings, tubes, and rods; cementing wells, shooting wells; perforating well casings; acidizing and chemically treating wells; and cleaning out, bailing, and swabbing wells.
Industry trends:
Recent qualitative trends in NAICS 213112, covering Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations, indicate a significant shift towards digital transformation and sustainability. Companies within the industry are increasingly adopting advanced technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning to enhance operational efficiency and reduce downtime. These innovations are driving predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and data analytics capabilities. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable practices, including reducing carbon emissions, minimizing environmental impact, and engaging in more responsible resource management.
Looking ahead, the near future forecasts a continued focus on technological integration and sustainability initiatives. Investment in digital tools and platforms is expected to rise, with companies seeking to optimize their operations and excavate data-driven insights. As regulatory pressures and societal expectations around environmental responsibility increase, firms will likely prioritize eco-friendly practices and reporting transparency. Furthermore, the volatility in oil prices is anticipated to drive further consolidation in the industry, with larger players acquiring smaller firms to streamline operations and leverage economies of scale.
