Directional Drilling Market Worldwide

Directional Drilling Market Regional Insights

North America is expected to dominate the directional drilling market share, due to presence of various key industry players, long-term expertise in exploring complex formations, availability of large unconventional reserves, and good government policies e.g. In December 2019, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that total proved oil reserves in the country rose to 43.8 billion barrels in 2018 compared to 39.2 billion barrels in 2017, a year earlier. North America led the directional drilling market and was expected to be the largest market by 2023, driven by increasing demand from the US. and Canada. Technically, it is one of the largest recoverable reserves of shale gas in the United States and the second largest reservoir of heavy oil in the world. Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and low breakout values have supported oil and gas directional drilling activities in the region.

The Asia-Pacific is also expected to exhibit significant growth due to rapidly growing energy demand, increasing E&P activities, dependence on coal reserves and large number of metals and minerals reserves for example World of BP Statistical Review published in June 2020 according to Energy, total coal imports from China at the end of 2019 reached 79.82 exajoules, up from 76.58 exajoules in 2018 and saw an increase of 4.2% year-on-year.

Asia-Pacific could be the secondary market owing to the advancement in drilling technologies such as deep horizontal wells and completion methods, including multistage hydraulic fracturing. Furthermore, the country oil companies (NOCs) to increase domestic production offshore e -Invest &P activities, which drives market growth. In addition, many Asia Pacific countries are increasing their capital expenditures (CAPEX) to meet future energy demand. Europe is expected to grow due to continued investment in offshore areas. Major countries in Europe are investing heavily in exploring new offshore hydrocarbon reserves to boost domestic production. Norway and the United Kingdom have a large market share due to increasing exploration on the Norwegian mainland.

The expansion of the oil and gas industry has created a worldwide demand for energy. Over the years, oil & gas has been widely used in power generation, manufacturing, transportation, and other end-use industries. However, the huge demand for unconventional fuels such as shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane due to increasing urbanization, globalization and high economic growth is estimated to lead to negative market growth that many countries are increasing their capital expenditures (CAPEX) to secure the inflow of energy. Hydrocarbons, offshore oil and gas have proven to be the most efficient and reliable source of energy attracting many investors and oil and gas companies so growing interest in oil is expected and scrap gas will drive the directional drilling market size.

Technological Advancements: Factors such as technological advances enable the deepwater and ultra-deepwater industry, and many new markets, such as Gabon, Senegal, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt, and the Mexican side of the Gulf of Mexico are strongly encouraging development. This directional drilling market trend is expected to create important opportunities for operating countries in the near future.
