Measurement While Drilling Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth and Forecast 2014 – 2020
Measurement
while drilling market is growing with the increasing drilling
activities across the world. Huge investment in exploration and
production activities by oil companies will prove to be a boom for
the measurement while drilling market during the forecast period.
Measurement while drilling is a type of well logging services. In
this, a measurement tool is incorporated in drilling string to access
the real time information. This information helps the operator to
steer the drilling process. The real time information is very
important for a drilling operation to avoid deviation from its path
and save drilling time as well as drilling cost. Measurement while
drilling also provides crucial data such as directional survey data
(well depth), drilling dynamics parameters, bottom hole pressure and
temperature. With the increase in complexity in drilling operations,
well logging services are also adopting and improving to provide a
cost effective solution to the oil and gas company.
While drilling a
horizontal or directional well, conventional logging tools are
ineffective to provide information after an angle of 60 degrees, as
they cannot be further pushed through the well and are retrieved.
This has been a problem with conventional well logging tools. But
measurement while drilling provides a solution to this problem.
Measurement while drilling is a type of LWD (logging while drilling).
In this, tools are enclosed in a single module in the steering tool
of the drill string, at the end of drilling apparatus. Measurement
while drilling provides measurement at regular intervals such as rock
porosity, permeability, resistivity, weight on bit and acoustic
waveform without affecting the drilling operations. The data obtained
is transmitted to the surface through mud pulse in real time. Mud
pressure transducers are used to measure the pressure fluctuations
and pass analogue signals to the computers on the surface. These
computers convert the analog signals into digital signals and decode
data in the required form.
Measurement while
drilling market can be segmented on the basis of application into
offshore and onshore. On the basis of geography, the measurement
while drilling market can be segmented into Europe, North America,
Asia Pacific and RoW (Rest of the world). North America is expected
to be the market leader in measurement while drilling market due to
vast shale gas exploration and production activities. With the
increasing production of shale gas the number of directional well
will increase aiding the growth of market. Environmental regulations
in Europe are prohibiting the shale gas exploration in that region
hampering the growth of the measurement while drilling market.

Increasing number of
horizontal or directional wells to increase the production and attain
economic operations is driving the measurement while drilling market.
The demand is expected to increase with large number of wells drilled
for shale gas extraction. Measurement while drilling makes it
possible for oil and gas drilling companies to log the well without
hampering the drilling activity.
Some of the key
players in the measurement while drilling market are Baker Hughes
Incorporated, Halliburton Company, Weatherford International Limited,
Schlumberger Limited, Decollement Consulting Inc., Archer - The well
company, Cathedral Energy Services Ltd., Boreview, Crescent
Directional Drilling LP, The Directional Drilling Company, Wellpath
Energy Services LLC, Scientific Drilling International, Accu-Tech
