South Korea Oil and Gas Industry Trends and Drivers:

The heavy reliance on imports in South Korea to meet its energy needs, due to lack of domestic oil and gas reserves, represents one of the key factors propelling the market growth. South Korea is investing in international oil and gas assets and establishing long-term supply agreements to ensure stable energy supply and mitigate geopolitical tensions and global oil price fluctuations.

In addition, the country is upgrading its refining capacity to process a broader range of crude oils and export refined products. Governing agencies in the country are encouraging refinery modernization and advancements in refining technologies that improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, thereby supporting the growth of the market. Expanding port infrastructure and development of storage facilities is enabling the country to handle large volumes of oil and gas and distribute these essential resources to meet domestic needs and facilitate regional trade.

Besides this, the increasing demand for natural gas for power generation and industrial use is contributing to the market growth. As the country is aiming to reduce its reliance on coal and lower greenhouse gas emissions, natural gas in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming a favored energy source. Investments in LNG infrastructure, such as terminals, storage, and distribution networks, are supporting this shift towards a cleaner energy mix, which is bolstering the market growth. Companies are also adopting advanced technologies to enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of oil and gas operations, aligning with the broader energy strategy to reduce emissions in the country.

Technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), are optimizing processes across exploration, production, and refining, reducing costs and improving operational safety. The proactive energy policies are encouraging domestic and foreign investments in the oil and gas sector, promoting a stable and predictable environment. Furthermore, the hydrogen production from natural gas and development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies is supporting the decarbonization of the oil and gas sector and aligning with global sustainability goals, thereby offering a favorable market outlook in South Korea.
