Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) refers to a trenchless drilling process that utilizes steerable motor assemblies for digging horizontal bores. It involves the use of rigs, bites, beamers and pipes to accurately drill along the chosen bore path and install underground pipelines, electrical semiconductors, service conduits and cables. HDD aids in increasing the contact between the reservoir and the wellbore and enhancing the overall efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. HDD can also be conducted with minimal requirements while causing negligible soil contamination or damage to the landscape. As a result, it finds extensive application across various industries, such as telecommunication, oil and gas, power and utilities.
Horizontal Directional Drilling Market Trends:
A significant increase in the onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration activities is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. HDD is widely used for hydraulic fracturing to increase the production of oil and natural gas from thin oil zones. Additionally, the widespread product adoption for surveying, designing and construction of underground cables for the installation of underground electrical telecommunication systems is favoring the market growth. Moreover, various technological advancements, such as the utilization of automated HDD systems, are providing a thrust to the market growth. These solutions utilize computer software to plan and guide drilling tools with enhanced accuracy and minimal data-to-surface delays. In line with this, the increasing preference for HDD due to the rising environmental concerns among the masses is also contributing to the growth of the market. HDD causes minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment and maintains the condition of the drilled area. Other factors, including the implementation of various government initiatives promoting sustainable oil and gas exploration, along with the rising demand for energy, especially in developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
