This Managed Pressure Drilling Services market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The managed pressure drilling services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.16 billion in 2024 to $4.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased complexity of drilling operations, growing depth and complexity of oil and gas wells, need for enhanced safety and environmental compliance, rise in deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling activities.

The managed pressure drilling services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of unconventional oil and gas exploration, adoption of automated and digitalized managed pressure drilling solutions, increasing focus on cost efficiency in drilling operations, growing demand for real-time drilling data and analytics, global expansion of oil and gas exploration activities. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of managed pressure drilling with intelligent drilling systems, development of enhanced managed pressure drilling software, rise of collaborative managed pressure drilling services, application of managed pressure drilling in geothermal wells, emphasis on environmental sustainability in drilling operations.

The rising demand for energy is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the managed pressure drilling services market. Increased energy requirements driven by heightened industrial activity and advancements in both developing and developed countries will lead to more extraction and drilling activities, thereby propelling market growth. For example, a report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization that collects and disseminates authoritative energy data, indicated that in 2022, global economic recovery is expected to result in a nearly 5% increase in worldwide electricity demand in 2021 and a 4% increase in 2022. During these years, fossil fuel-based electricity generation is projected to account for 45% and 40%, respectively, of the additional demand, with nuclear power contributing the remaining 20%. Consequently, the increasing energy demand is driving the growth of the managed pressure drilling services market moving forward.

The growth of managed pressure drilling services is expected to be further propelled by the increasing development of shale gas. Shale gas development involves extracting natural gas from deep underground shale rock formations. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) techniques offer various advantages, including improved wellbore stability, enhanced safety measures, better reservoir optimization, and cost savings. These benefits are particularly valuable in deep and ultra-deep shale plays, contributing to efficient drilling, environmental compliance, and the acquisition of crucial reservoir data. The rising development of shale gas, exemplified by the notable increase in U. S. dry natural gas production in 2022, is a significant factor driving the expansion of the managed pressure drilling services market.

Technological advancements have become a prominent trend in the managed pressure drilling services market, with major companies in the drilling services sector focusing on innovative solutions such as the introduction of FlexJoint technology. In May 2022, OIL STATES INDUSTRIES introduced the Managed Pressure Drilling and Riser Gas Handling (MPD and RGH) System, integrating managed pressure drilling and riser gas handling into the deepwater drilling riser. This innovation aims to enhance speed, economy, performance, and safety in drilling activities. The system, featuring FlexJoint technology, contributes to long bearing life, reduced maintenance requirements, and increased safety by relocating workers from the red zone.

Major companies in the managed pressure drilling services market are developing new pressure drilling and riser systems. Pressure drilling involves using wellbore pressure to control formation fluids, while a riser system connects an offshore drilling rig to the wellbore on the seabed, facilitating the safe transfer of drilling fluids and equipment. In May 2022, Oil States Industries Inc. launched the Managed Pressure Drilling and Riser Gas Handling (MPD and RGH) System, seamlessly integrating managed pressure drilling and riser gas handling for deepwater drilling, resulting in reduced nonproductive time and improved safety.

In February 2022, NOV Inc. strengthened its position in the managed pressure drilling services market through the acquisition of AFGlobal Corporation's Advanced Drilling Solutions (ADS) business. This strategic move enhanced NOV's capability to offer a comprehensive and innovative Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) system, enabling full rig integration and real-time monitoring for enhanced well construction processes. AFGlobal Corporation, a U. S. -based energy company, specializes in energy sector solutions, including managed pressure drilling, oilfield equipment, subsea technologies, and custom engineering.

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is a drilling technique that employs a closed and pressurized circulating system to maintain precise control of the wellbore pressure. This is achieved by adjusting the flow conditions to control the pressure of the wellbore and effectively manage the drilling process. MPD is utilized to control annular pressure, adjust entry-level, and manage mud weight during drilling.

The main technologies in managed pressure drilling services include constant bottom hole pressure (CBHP), mud cap drilling (MCD), dual gradient drilling (DGD), and return flow control drilling (RFCD). Constant bottom hole pressure focuses on managing the required bottom hole pressures under high-pressure conditions. Tools such as rotating control devices (RCD), non-return valves (NRV), and choke manifold systems are commonly used in these services. Managed pressure drilling services find applications in both onshore and offshore drilling operations.
