Sand Control Services Market Report 2025

The sand control services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.74 billion in 2024 to $1.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period was driven by the increasing exploitation of shale gas and tight oil formations, rising demand for sand control tools, a heightened focus on well maintenance, and the widespread adoption of sand control measures.

The sand control services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for energy security, rising deepwater exploration activities, an increasing focus on carbon capture and storage, enhanced health and safety standards, and a shift toward cleaner energy solutions. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and artificial intelligence in sand control services, the increasing use of nanotechnology, and the adoption of robotics for enhanced efficiency and precision.

The growing activities in oil and gas exploration are expected to drive the expansion of the sand control services market in the coming years. These exploration activities involve locating and assessing underground oil and natural gas reserves through methods such as geological surveys, seismic testing, and exploratory drilling. The increase in such activities is primarily driven by the rising demand for energy and the depletion of current reserves. As exploration efforts intensify, the demand for sand control services also rises to prevent sand production, maintain wellbore stability, improve production, and protect equipment. For example, in February 2025, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate, a government agency in Norway, reported that 42 exploration wells were completed on the Norwegian continental shelf in 2024, an increase of 10 wells from 2023. This surge in oil and gas exploration activities is propelling the growth of the sand control services market.

Key companies in the sand control services industry are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as sand consolidation technologies, to improve well productivity and extend the lifespan of assets. Sand consolidation technology strengthens formation grains to prevent sand production while preserving the reservoir's permeability. For example, in October 2024, Halliburton, a US-based energy industry service provider, launched SandTrap XL, an advanced sand control system. This technology controls excessive sand production using a low-viscosity resin system, which improves well performance and durability by stabilizing formation grains while maintaining permeability. It is particularly useful for mature fields and unconsolidated reservoirs, providing thermal stability above 550°F (287°C) and making it suitable for enhanced oil recovery methods such as steam flooding. This innovation boosts well productivity and extends the lifespan of wells, especially in mature and unconsolidated reservoirs.

In January 2024, Forum Energy Technologies Inc., a US-based oilfield products company, acquired Variperm Energy Services for $150 million. This acquisition strengthens Forum Energy Technologies' product portfolio in downhole and artificial lift solutions by incorporating tailored sand and flow control products designed for heavy oil applications. Variperm Energy Services, based in Canada, specializes in the manufacturing of sand control products and services.

Sand control services involve specialized techniques designed to prevent sand production in oil and gas wells, ensuring stable extraction and preserving well integrity. These services utilize advanced methods and equipment to manage sand movement, reduce equipment wear, and enhance reservoir performance. They play a crucial role in minimizing operational risks, lowering maintenance costs, and optimizing hydrocarbon recovery in both conventional and complex drilling environments.

The primary well types for sand control services include horizontal and vertical wells. Horizontal wells are drilled laterally within the reservoir to maximize contact with hydrocarbon formations, often requiring specialized sand control solutions due to their extended exposure. Various techniques are used, including gravel packing, frac packing, sand screens, and resin-coated gravel. These methods are applied in different locations, such as onshore and offshore, and are suitable for several applications, including cased hole and open hole completions.
