Drilling Waste Management Market Estimated to Witness Growth Due to Stringent Environmental Regulations and Rise in Onshore Activities
The Drilling Waste Management Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.0 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.47% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Drilling waste includes drilled cuttings, drilling fluids, and produced water generated during drilling, fracturing, production, and completion operations. Drilling waste needs to be properly managed to avoid contamination of soil and water resources. Improper discharge of drilling waste can pollute surface and groundwater bodies. Stringent environmental regulations pertaining to waste discharge are driving demand for drilling waste management services.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing shale drilling activities worldwide along with stringent environmental regulations regarding disposal of drilling waste are some of the major drivers of the drilling waste management market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global shale oil production is expected to reach 9 million barrels per day by 2023 from approximately 5 million barrels per day in 2018. Growing onshore exploration and production activities especially in the U.S, China, Argentina and Mexico are expected to generate a substantial amount of drilling waste thereby driving market growth over the forecast period. Additionally, rising demand for recycled/treated drilling fluids for drilling new wells is also propelling the drilling waste management market growth. However, high operational cost of drilling waste management services is a major challenge for market players.
Segment Analysis
The Drilling Waste Management market is dominanted by the solid control sub segment. This is because solid control helps in removing drilled cuttings from the drilling fluid during the drilling process. This prevents re-injection of cuttings into the oil well and ensures more efficiency.
PEST Analysis
Political: Stringent government regulations around waste disposal are driving the need for efficient drilling waste management solutions.
Economic: Increasing oil & gas exploration and production activities globally is boosting spending on drilling waste management services and products.
Social: Growing awareness about environmental protection is prompting key players to offer sustainable drilling waste treatment and disposal services.
Technological: Advancements in solid control equipment, drilling fluid recycling systems, and shale shakers are helping optimize drilling waste management.
Key Takeaways
The Global Drilling Waste Management Market Growth is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 7.47% over the forecast period, due to increasing shale gas and oil exploration worldwide.
The North American region dominates the market currently owing to large-scale drilling activities in the USA and Canada. Going forward, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth due to rising exploration in China, India and other Asian countries.
