Managed Pressure Drilling Services Market Report 2026

The managed pressure drilling services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.38 billion in 2025 to $4.69 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising drilling activity, increasing need for safe well control, growth in deepwater exploration, demand for efficient drilling operations, rising oilfield project investments.

The managed pressure drilling services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.14 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing complex reservoir drilling, rising offshore project development, adoption of precision drilling technologies, growing focus on operational risk reduction, ongoing need for cost efficient drilling performance. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced automated drilling control adoption, growing integration of real time monitoring solutions, increasing use of closed loop pressure control systems, rising preference for safe complex field drilling operations, expanding application in offshore and deepwater projects.

The rising global energy demand is expected to propel the growth of the managed pressure drilling (MPD) services market going forward. Global energy demand refers to the total amount of energy consumed worldwide across residential, industrial, commercial, and transportation sectors. This demand continues to rise as population growth, urbanization, and industrial activity increase the need for reliable energy supply. To meet these requirements, oil and gas operators are increasingly exploring complex and high-risk reservoirs, including deepwater and high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments. Managed pressure drilling services support this expansion by enabling precise control of wellbore pressure, improving drilling efficiency, minimizing non-productive time, and reducing the risk of kicks and blowouts. For instance, in March 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental energy organization, global energy demand increased by 2.2% in 2024. Therefore, the rising global energy demand is driving the growth of the managed pressure drilling services market.

Major companies operating in the managed pressure drilling services market are focusing on leveraging advanced approaches such as strategic collaborations to enhance operational safety and efficiency. Strategic collaborations allow companies to combine complementary technologies, engineering expertise, and service capabilities to deliver integrated MPD solutions tailored for complex drilling environments. For example, in November 2023, Halliburton Company, a US-based oilfield services provider, collaborated with Oil States Industries, a US-based supplier of integrated energy-industry systems, to deliver an innovative deepwater managed pressure drilling solution. This solution features a compact integrated riser joint along with MPD equipment, control systems, and services designed to improve pressure containment and safety. The integrated deepwater MPD system reduces rig footprint, simplifies installation and handling, and enables safer and more efficient pressure-managed drilling operations in deepwater fields.

In September 2024, Noble Corporation plc, a UK-based offshore drilling company, acquired Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. for approximately US$1.59 billion. Through this acquisition, Noble aimed to expand its offshore drilling fleet and strengthen its deepwater and ultra-deepwater rig capabilities by integrating Diamond Offshore’s modern semi-submersible rigs and drillships. Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. is a US-based offshore drilling services company specializing in the ownership and operation of high-specification drilling rigs for oil and gas exploration and development.
