Hydraulic Workover Unit Market Report 2026

The hydraulic workover unit market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.29 billion in 2025 to $13.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in mature oil well count, growth in well maintenance activities, expansion of onshore oilfields, need for cost effective intervention methods, development of hydraulic lifting technologies.

The hydraulic workover unit market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging well infrastructure, rising shale gas activities, demand for safer workover operations, investment in oilfield automation, focus on operational cost reduction. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of mastless workover systems, growing demand for high capacity hydraulic units, increased focus on well intervention efficiency, expansion of onshore workover operations, improved safety and automation integration.

The rising demand for well services in crude oil and natural gas drilling is expected to drive growth in the hydraulic workover unit market in the coming years. Well services in crude oil and natural gas drilling refer to specialized operations aimed at enhancing drilling efficiency, production, and the extraction of hydrocarbons from wells. These services are increasing as growing energy demand encourages operators to maximize production efficiency and extend the productive life of existing wells through maintenance and intervention activities. The hydraulic workover unit market supports these services by enabling safe and cost-effective well interventions and maintenance without the need for full drilling rigs, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime. For example, in December 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that in December 2023, U.S. oil production, including crude oil and lease condensate, averaged 13.3 million barrels per day (b/d), while natural gas production averaged 128 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Consequently, the growing demand for well services in crude oil and natural gas drilling is fueling the hydraulic workover unit market.

Leading companies in the hydraulic workover unit market are developing advanced hydraulic workover units to enhance well intervention efficiency, minimize operational downtime, and improve safety during well servicing activities. These innovations aim to meet the growing demand for reliable and effective well maintenance and intervention solutions in both onshore and offshore oil and gas fields. For example, in July 2024, PetroVietnam Drilling & Well Service Corporation (PV Drilling), a Vietnam-based well services provider, signed a major contract with Drillmec S.p.A. (Italy) to acquire a new hydraulic workover unit (HWU). This HWU is expected to strengthen PV Drilling's capabilities in the competitive oil and gas market. As the global energy sector rebounds with rising crude oil prices, the demand for drilling services is anticipated to rise. The acquisition of this HWU aligns with PV Drilling's commitment to maintaining a robust fleet that can meet increasing client demands across the region.

In October 2024, Axis Energy Services LLC, a U.S.-based oil and gas operations provider, merged with Brigade Energy Services LLC for an undisclosed amount. This merger aims to establish the largest and most innovative well servicing company in the nation, combining the expertise and resources of Axis Energy Services LLC and Brigade Energy Services LLC to improve operational efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability in the oil and gas sector amidst changing market conditions. Brigade Energy Services LLC is a U.S.-based provider of hydraulic workover units.
