Market Analysis 

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is an adaptive drilling process used to precisely control the annular pressure profile throughout the wellbore. It offers a closed-loop circulation system where pore pressure, bottom hole pressure, and formation fracture pressure are balanced and managed at the surface.

The global managed pressure drilling market is expected to grow USD 4,523.7 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.90% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

It offers a closed-loop circulation system where pore pressure, bottom hole pressure, and formation fracture pressure are balanced and managed at the surface. This offers an active approach to well control, hence improves primary well control, automatically react to influxes, and verify downhole obstacles in real-time. 

Various factors are propelling the global managed pressure drilling market share. According to the recent MRFR report, such factors include low operational cost, an increase in unconventional drilling activities, recovery of oil price, and increasing consumption of oil and gas. 

On the contrary, growing adoption of renewable energy, volatility in prices of crude oil, risk related to drilling activities, and the on-going COVID-19 impact may deter the global managed pressure drilling market growth in the region.

By application, the global managed pressure drilling market is segmented into offshore and onshore. Of these, the offshore segment will dominate the market over the forecast period. 

Regional Analysis

By region, the global managed pressure drilling market covers the growth opportunities and recent trends across Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific (APAC), & the Middles East and Africa (MEA).

Among these, North America will lead the market over the forecast period. Increasing adoption of managed pressure drilling technology by companies to make drilling and exploration operations simpler and alleviation of risks associated with drilling operations, increasing use on different projects to boost production capacity and at the same time guarantee efficiency by concentrating explicitly on facets like rate of penetration and mud weight are adding to the global managed pressure drilling market growth in the region. 

The global managed pressure drilling market in the APAC region is predicted to have healthy growth over the forecast period. Ample hydrocarbon resources in Indonesia, Gulf of Thailand, and Malaysia, enormous confirmed reserves, and the nonstop development of shale production in the south and central Asia are adding to the global managed pressure drilling market growth in the region. 

The global managed pressure drilling market in Europe is predicted to have sound growth over the forecast period. The region being a hub for new discoveries in oil and gas sectors, incessant discoveries resulting in elevated competition among competitors, increasing rate of production with new technologies, development of favorable new policies that increase the capacity of production in Brazil are adding to the global managed pressure drilling market growth in the region. 

The global Drilling fluid control systems market in the MEA is predicted to have steady growth over the forecast period.
