PDC Drill Bits Market: Introduction
·
Drill bits are essential tools for any drilling operation in the
oil and gas industry. It is used to drill cylindrical boreholes for the
production of crude oil and gas.
·
Polycrystalline diamond compact or PDC drill bits, are largely
used in oil & gas industry. If the formation is sticky or too hard, then
only other types of bits are used.
·
Advancement in PDC drill bits have increased their penetration
in oil & gas wells. PDC drill bits are costlier than roller cone bits;
however, they substantially reduce the total drilling cost, as these provide
higher rotary speed, which enable better drill rates and reduce the chances of
deviation.
Key
Drivers of PDC Drill Bits Market:
·
Rise in demand for oil and gas in emerging economies due to
industrialization, urbanization, and population growth is driving the global
drilling industry. This is projected to boost the PDC
drill bits market.
·
Increase in exploration and new discovery of oil and gas
deposits are fueling the market. In January 2019, BP announced a discovery of
more than 1 billion barrels of oil in its Thunder Horse field in the Gulf of
Mexico. These discoveries are likely to spark long-term drilling and
exploration operations over the coming years, leading to a steady rise in the
demand from the global PDC drill bits market over the forecast period.
·
Furthermore, increase in demand for speedy drilling with minimum
wear and tear in terms of hard and medium-hard formations is driving the global
PDC drill bits market.
·
Rise in investments in the oil & gas sector is also boosting
the market. For instance, in April 2018, U.S. Oil & Gas Plc (USOIL) started
a new exploration drilling at the Hot Creek Valley project in Nevada in the
U.S.
High
cost of drilling to Hamper Market:
·
High cost of drilling and stringent government regulations on
offshore drilling are major factors that may hamper the growth of the market
Matrix Body Type Segment and Offshore
Application Segment to Offer Attractive Opportunities:
·
The global PDC drill bits market can be segmented in terms of
type, size of PDC cutter, application, and region.
·
Based on type, the market can be bifurcated into matrix body and
steel body. The matrix body segment accounted for a dominant share of the PDC
drill bits market in 2018. The matrix body can withstand an impact load and is
capable of drilling medium-hard to hard formations.
·
In terms of size of PDC cutter, the market can be divided into
less than 9 mm, 9 mm to 24 mm, and above 24 mm. The 9 mm to 24 mm segment
accounts for a large share of the market. The segment is estimated to expand at
a substantial pace during the forecast period.
·
In terms of application, the market can be categorized into
onshore and offshore. The onshore segment constitutes a large share of the
market, while the offshore segment is estimated to expand at a substantial pace
during the forecast period.

North
America expected to hold Lion’s Share in the Global PDC Drill Bits Market:
·
Based on region, the global PDC drill bits market can be
classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa.
·
North America dominated the global market in 2018. This trend is
estimated to continue during the forecast period owing to the discovery of
shale reserves in the U.S. and presence of a large number of private oil
companies in the region.
·
According to General Electric Company’s Baker Hughes Inc., the
oil rig count in the U.S. increased by approximate 42% in 2017 as compared to
that in 2016 owing to the recovery in crude oil prices.
·
Middle East & Africa is a major producer of oil in the
world. Increase in offshore developments and discoveries, especially in the Red
Sea, by countries such as Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, is anticipated to
drive the PDC drill bits market in the Middle East.
