LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Automation in horizontal directional drilling techniques is one of the key trends that will gain traction in the market. Modern drilling systems are being incorporated with automated process control and digital instrumentation. Market players are offering automated step by step instructions to optimize the horizontal directional drilling of wells. The automation of horizontal direction drilling improves production efficiency, profitability, and consistency, which will boost market growth. Furthermore, this industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by application (onshore and offshore) and geography (APAC, Europe, MEA, North America, and South America).
Competitive vendor landscape
The global horizontal directional drilling market is highly competitive with major vendors such as Baker Hughes, a GE Co. LLC, Halliburton Co., Nabors Industries Ltd., Schlumberger Ltd., Scientific Drilling International Inc., and Weatherford International Plc., competing on the basis of price, quality, and product/service offerings.
“North America will account for the highest horizontal directional drilling market share throughout the forecast period because of the increasing deployment of this technique for extracting oil and natural gas from shale reservoirs. However, the market will register significant growth in the APAC region, because of the continuous growth of both onshore and offshore projects in the emerging economies of the region including China and India,” says a senior analyst at Technavio
