Downhole Tools Global Market Report 2024

The downhole tools are the tools that are used during well drilling, completion, and intervention or well workover activities and helps oil well in optimizing the production levels and maintain a continuous flow from the reservoir. The primary purpose of downhole tools is to carry out workover operations and well completion process as well as examine the reservoir properties such as rock, sand, and liquid by bringing their sample to the well surface.

The main types of downhole tools are drilling tools, pressure and flow control tools, handling tools, impurity control tools, other types. A drilling machine is a type of machine in which holes are made on the workpiece by making use of a rotating tool called a drill bit or twist drill. The downhole tools are available by the onshore and offshore locations that are used for good drilling, well completion, well intervention, well production, formation, and evaluation applications.

This downhole tool market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The downhole tools market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.46 billion in 2023 to $5.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to oil and gas exploration boom, global economic trends, regulatory changes, environmental concerns.

The downhole tools market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.86 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued energy demand, unconventional resource exploration, focus on cost efficiency, renewable energy integration. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization and automation, advancements in material science, customization and modular design, remote operations and robotics, collaboration and partnerships, rise in horizontal drilling.

The rising oil and gas consumption is expected to propel the growth of the downhole tools market going forward. The rising demand for oil and gas in form of automotive fuel and household cooking owing to rapidly rising levels of population. The downhole tools are used for drilling or extraction of minerals. Therefore, the increase in the consumption of oil & gas will require the extraction of more minerals, which will eventually increase the growth of downhole tools. For instance, according to U. S. Energy Information Administration, the U. S. Federal Statistical System responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating energy information, it is estimated that 99.4 million b/d of petroleum and liquid fuels were consumed globally in 2022, up by 1.6 million b/d from 2021. They forecast that global consumption will rise by an average of 2.1 million b/d for all of 2022 and by an average of 2.0 million b/d in 2023. Therefore, rising oil and gas consumption is driving the demand for the downhole tools market.

The increased drilling activities are expected to propel the growth of the downhole tool market going forward. Drilling activities refer to the processes and operations involved in boring or drilling holes into the earth's surface for various purposes, such as exploration, extraction, and construction. Drilling activities often utilize drilling equipment, such as drilling rigs to bore into the ground, rock, or other materials, leading to a heightened demand for downhole tools. These tools play a crucial role in various drilling operations, including wellbore drilling, casing installation, completion, and reservoir evaluation. For instance, in October 2022, according to Baker Hughes' weekly data, drilling for both oil and natural gas wells rose in the United States in 2022. As of September 30, 2022, there were 160 natural gas-directed rigs, an increase of 53 from in 2022. There are 602 oil-directed rigs, an increase of 481 in 2022. Therefore, increased drilling activities in oil and gas exploration are expected to propel the growth of the downhole tool market.

Technological innovation is the key trend gaining popularity in the downhole tools market. Major companies operating in the downhole tools market are focused on developing new and innovative products to sustain and strengthen their market position. For instance, in May 2023, Deep Casing Tools, a UK-based company operating in innovative downhole technologies, launched MechLOK-T. It is a fully mechanically locking drill pipe swivel that is developed to alleviate the friction and buckling issues that are commonly experienced in long, horizontal extended-reach drilling (ERD) wells. This cutting-edge technology enables operators to easily reach target depths on the first attempt, resulting in increased productivity, dependability, and significant time and cost savings.

Major companies operating in downhole tools market are focusing on the strategic partnerships and collaboration to work towards common goals that can be more effectively achieved by combining resources, expertise, or capabilities and delivering superior construction performance. For instance, in May 2021, Schlumberger NV, a US-based oilfield services company, announced a collaboration with NOV Inc., a US-based oilfield services company, to accelerate the adoption of automated drilling solutions by oil and gas operators and drilling contractors. The collaboration leverages downhole and surface automation applications to deliver enhancements in operations safety and efficiency and deliver top-quartile wells for customers.

In July 2023, Patterson-UTI Energy, a US-based company operating in energy sector, acquired Ulterra Drilling Technologies for $370 million in cash and the issuance of 34.9 million shares of Patterson-UTI common stock. This strategic acquisition aims to expand Patterson-UTI's operational capabilities and technological prowess. Furthermore, it would enhance Patterson-UTI's global presence, particularly in the Middle East, and strengthen its relationships with key international customers. Ulterra Drilling Technologies is a US-based company specializes in developing innovative PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bits and downhole tools for directional drilling in the oil and gas industry.
