Petroleum & Natural Gas Support Services in France industry analysis

Although France is not a significant producer of petroleum and natural gas in Europe, support services in the country have experienced success. Since France imports most of its crude oil and natural gas, the number of support service companies is limited. Nonetheless, these companies have thrived amid economic fluctuations and geopolitical tensions. Over the five years through 2025, revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5% to €341.6 billion, including an 11.3% uptick in 2025 alone.  

Trends and Insights

  • Supply uncertainties stimulate activity. Uncertainties over Russia's supply of natural gas prompted European countries to increase their own domestic production, supporting revenue.
  • Development wells are the most lucrative. Due to the increased complexity and larger size of development wells, these are the most lucrative to contractors.
  • Larger contractors can provide a range of services. Larger contractors can secure more businesses by offering a range of complimentary services if they have the financial and capital resources to do so.
