MARKET DRIVERS

Discovery of New Wells to Impart Positive Market Outlook

Many countries and national oil companies are increasing their capital expenditure (CAPEX) for exploring new wells to increase domestic production. Emerging economies such as India and China are extensively investing in exploring new wells to reduce dependence on oil and gas imports. This type of drilling offers a unique solution to drill a well at an economical cost with high output. Thus, oilfield service companies are using this technique to drill wells to extract and produce enormous volumes of hydrocarbons. Growing popularity of the MPD technique owing to its superior advantages over conventional drilling method is accelerating the managed pressure drilling market growth.

Increasing Investment in E&P Activities to Drive Market Growth

The hydrocarbon industry plays a crucial role in shaping the economic dynamics of the world.Diesel, petrol, and other petroleum products are widely used in manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, shipping and aviation, and other industries. Operators are enormously investing in E&P activities to meet the growing demand for oil and gas, which are expected to encourage the drilling of new wells and accelerate the market revenue.

MARKET RESTRAINT

Frequent Fluctuation in Hydrocarbon Prices and Challenging Techniques to Retard Growth

The uncertainly over international crude oil prices and unstable nature of the market are pulling down the expansion of the MPD market demand. Many investors and oil & gas companies are cautious about investing in new projects to avoid significant losses, which is limiting new drillings. Also, there are several challenges involved in implementing a managed pressure drilling method. These challenges include the precise integration of different methodologies such as mechanical, electrical, hydraulics, online monitoring systems, and others. Any failure in these may hamper the overall production and is likely to damage the well. Moreover, a high level of precautionary measures needs to be taken to avoid accidents, blowouts, and environmental damage. All these factors are impeding the growth of the market.

Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP) Projected to Lead the Market

在MPD技术有广泛的应用including high-pressure high-temperature wells, deepwater drilling with lost circulation and narrow drilling window. CBHP ensures a higher level of safety while drilling. It maintains bottom hole pressure consistently above pore pressure and below fractures pressure by applying surface back-pressure at the surface. The technique is also used to drill tight margins, which require precise surface backpressure application to maintain bottom hole pressure. Similarly, other managed pressure drilling techniques such as pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) and dual gradient drilling are also used to drill fractured carbonates and deep well drilling, the MPD market research suggests.

By Application Analysis

Stellar Investment in Offshore E&P Activities to Stimulate Offshore Segment

Abundant deepwater reserves hold a wealth of opportunity for oil and gas recovery. For instance, MPD can be used in conjunction with the continuous circulating devices to control wellbore pressure, which enabled the drilling of a difficult section of a deepwater exploration well in Ghana in 2012. Also, growing Capex in recovering untapped hydrocarbon reserves is likely to stimulate the growth in the offshore segment. This type of drilling is successfully used for oil discoveries from offshore high pressure and high-temperature wells in many countries. However, the onshore segment also offers significant growth owing to increase drilling in North America and Asia-Pacific, according to the managed pressure drilling market analysis.

The market is divided into five regions i.e. North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Industry leaders are using advanced technologies to reduce the nonproductive time (NPT) and other costs associated with loss circulation. Managed pressure drilling is widely used across the world to precisely control wellbore pressure and enhance wellbore stability. North America is projected to lead the market on account of many companies in the United States are practicing MPD to minimize NPT, which include stuck pipe, wellbore instability, and well control incidents. Moreover, the U.S. is expanding its production capacity to meet its production targets and export oil and gas to surrounding regions. Besides, the recent shell gas revolution and the increasing trend of drilling deepest well will aid North America to dominate the market share for managed pressure drilling. Latin America is also experiencing positive growth on account of growing deep drilling activities in Brazil and Mexico. For instance, Brazilian conglomerate Petrobras set a record for exploratory drilling by attaining water depth at circa 3,000 meters.
