Mining support service activities

NACE v2.0 Code: B09

About mining support service activities

NACE code 09, 'Mining support service activities,' encompasses a crucial set of services that enable and support the extraction of valuable natural resources. This industry plays a vital role in the broader mining and quarrying sector, providing essential services that facilitate the exploration, development, and ongoing operations of mines and oil/gas fields. As a key component of the extractive industries, the activities covered under NACE 09 are integral to meeting the global demand for raw materials that drive economic growth and development.

Production process

The main production techniques used in mining support service activities involve a range of specialized services. This can include activities such as test drilling and boring, erecting and dismantling of drilling rigs, cementing oil and gas well casings, and specialized mud and chemical treatment. Service providers in this industry also offer well-completion services, such as casing, cementing, perforating, and acidizing. Additionally, they may provide support for the maintenance and repair of mining and oil/gas extraction equipment, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of extraction sites.

Production inputs

The mining support service industry relies on a variety of inputs to carry out its activities. Key raw materials include drilling fluids, cement, and specialized chemicals used in well-completion processes. Machinery and equipment, such as drilling rigs, pumps, and other specialized tools, are also essential inputs. Additionally, this industry requires a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and operators with expertise in the extraction and processing of natural resources.

Production outputs

The primary output of the mining support service industry is the provision of critical services that enable and sustain the extraction of natural resources, such as oil, gas, and minerals. The services provided by NACE 09 companies are consumed by a range of other NACE codes, including 05 Mining of coal and lignite, 06 Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, and 07 Mining of metal ores. By supporting the core activities of the mining and quarrying sector, the mining support service industry plays a vital role in supplying the raw materials necessary for a wide range of economic activities.
