Based on transportation, the Equatorial Guinea oil and gas midstream market is segregated into pipelines, oil tankers, LNG vessels, rail transport, and trucks. The pipelines segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to factors such as, reduced transportation costs, lower energy use, and larger volumes of oil and gas can be transported in comparison to other modes.
Transportation of oil and gas through pipelines is much more efficient and is an eco-friendly option which helps Equatorial Guinea to maintain their carbon footprints to optimal levels. Significant increase of oil and gas production by more than 5% year-on-year, from 6200 million cubic meter, in 2015 to more than 8500 million cubic meters, in 2020 is projected to spur the segment growth at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on storage, the Equatorial Guinea oil and gas midstream market is segmented into terminals and bulk plants, tank farms, and storage tanks. Terminals and bulk plants are projected to account for major market share and expand at a significant pace. Terminals are type of storage facilities which typically receives crude oil by pipelines or marine vessels. They can store large amounts of oil and further used to distribute to various end-users via pipelines.
In terms of storage terminals are efficient and cost effective in contrast to others, they can be owned and operated by oil companies, pipeline companies, independent terminal operators, and large or commercial consumers.
