Market Growth Factors

The growth of the oil and gas industry is driving market growth for MWD globally, owing to the rise in demand for oil and natural gas and the prevalence of drilling in remote and complex geological conditions. This requires the use of MWD technology (measurement while drilling) to assist with drilling performance, efficiency, and safety. The MWD system evaluates in real-time both the state of the wellbore and the drilling parameters for making the appropriate decisions and reducing the rate of well-abort and costly mistakes. Environmental concerns and regulation encourage switching to sustainable drilling practices.

Newer MWD sensors offer better accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. Advanced sensors and data acquisition systems exist for acquiring data on several drilling parameters including penetration rate, torque, weight on bit, and resistivity to a high degree of precision. A downhole telemetry system transfers real-time data up to the surface. This can be watched from afar. Drilling operations can be supervised without workers on-site. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to the huge volumes of data from drilling operations, using techniques such as anomaly detection, optimization and downtime reduction.

In addition to complying with legislative standards, MWD gives drillers precise control on the drilling operation. Real-time logging and borehole survey data are obtained while drilling, which informs wellbore direction control and formation evaluation and is environmentally and economically helpful since it lowers the risk of unintended kickout and borehole extension. MWD systems can help reduce drilling fluid use by attempting to apply fluids more suitable to the formation, thus reducing the environmental impact of fluid disposal. Furthermore, rapid identification of hazardous conditions in the formation has the potential to prevent environmental disasters.
