The SAM oilfield service market is propelled by increased exploration and production activities due to the rising energy demand. The rise in urbanization and industrialization and rapid technology improvements have contributed considerably to the market's growth. The upstream portion of the oil and gas business is exploration and production (E&P), and it encompasses the phases of search, exploration, drilling, and extraction. The exploration and production (E&P) sector is the first oil and gas production stage. Production and exploration activities are expanding due to the increased energy demand and profitable investment possibilities in the oil & gas sector.
In addition, recent discoveries in the Americas may increase the region's world-class geography for hydrocarbon development and production in the following years, providing significant new investment possibilities for exploration and production (E&P) firms. Advances include identifying and developing new subsurface potential (for instance, unconventional resources in Argentina and deep-water resources in Brazil) and introducing appealing access and tax regimes to stimulate new investments (for instance, new fiscal terms in Argentina and moves toward non-Petrobras operatorship in Brazil). As a result, the rising production and exploration activities in the oil & gas sector are driving the oilfield service market in this region.
