Managed Pressure Drilling Services Market

Market Overview:

The global managed pressure drilling services market size reached US$ 3.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% during 2023-2028.

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) aids in controlling the annular pressure profile precisely throughout the wellbore. It helps avoid the continuous influx of formation fluids to the surface and enables a more accurate bottom hole pressure management, resulting in fewer pressure fluctuations and improved control of the well. It facilitates operators drilling complex onshore wells and workers drilling from mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) with a surface blowout preventer (BOP). At present, MPD services find applications in the oil and gas sector across the globe as they are cost-effective and reliable.

Managed Pressure Drilling Services Market Trends:

The increasing offshore oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities around the world represent one of the key factors stimulating the growth of the market. Moreover, the well drilling system is open to the atmosphere in conventional drilling. The drilling fluid exits via a bell nipple, then through a flowline to mud-gas separation and solids control equipment. This presents difficulties during operations, which is challenging for the drilling engineers. However, MPD relies on a closed-loop system that helps determine the downhole pressure limits and manage the annular pressure profile accordingly. It also allows faster corrective action to deal with observed pressure variations. This, coupled with advancements in the processes, techniques, technologies, and innovations associated with well drilling activities, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, MPD offers numerous benefits in terms of project economics and reduced non-productive time (NPT), which are substantial in the offshore structure, where any downtime significantly impacts the project cost. These advantages are anticipated to strengthen the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
