Extended Reach Drilling Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity and Forecast, 2017-2027: Segmented By Type (Shallow, Intermediate, Deep, and Ultradeep), By Well Type (3D Wells, Deviated Wells, Others), By Technology, By Application, By Region

Global extended reach drilling market is anticipated to grow with an impressive CAGR in the forecast years 2023-2027 on account of technological advancements and requirement to reach reserve faster through technologies including high-torque drill pipe connections. Increasing demand for oil and gas in various industries also drives the growth of the global extended reach drilling market in the upcoming five years.

Extended reach drilling is a method of inclined drilling in which there is more than 10% inclination from vertical line of drilling, the reach is increased such that maximum oil extraction can be conducted. All the processes like geosteering, toque reduction, casing floatation contribute to successful extended reach drilling procedure for oil excavation. The wells thus created can be shallow, intermediate, deep or ultradeep. Tools and technologies are used to bring higher efficiency to the procedure and increase oil production amount. In the fragile environment like Arctic glaciers, extended reach drilling is more preferred.

Increasing Demand for Oil Drives Market Growth

Demand for oil and gas is the most important factor responsible for the growth of the global extended reach drilling market in the upcoming five years. Automotive industries, manufacturing units, chemical industries, etc. all further contribute to the growing demand for oil & gas and thus support the growth of the global extended reach drilling market in the next five years. As of 2021, globally about 88,391 thousand barrels of oil is produced every day. Out of which, United States produces 712.7 thousand barrels of oil per day. This production rate is required to further increase in subsequent years to satisfy the growing demand for oil in various industries.

Extended reach drilling is the latest technology that oil companies are recognizing as mainstream method of oil production though its comparatively expensive, to develop frontier reserves in the regions where traditional oil production methods are either not feasible or leaves heavy environment footprints. In regions like Arctic or Antarctic glaciers, oil is present in certain regions, but project infrastructure is difficult for construction and is much more expensive. The regions that would otherwise be categorized as non-commercial reservoir can now be utilized for excavation of oil using extended reach drilling process thus substantiating the growth of the global extended reach drilling market in the future five years.
