Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/s525kn/global_drilling) has announced the addition of the "Global Drilling Waste Management Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Drilling Waste Management market will grow at a CAGR of 13% to 2018 Drilling waste management helps reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas drilling. Drilling waste management focuses on both environmental protection and cost-effectiveness by recycling the usable waste from drilling. The first step of drilling waste management is to separate solid waste from drilling fluids. After the solid waste has been removed from drilling fluids then a variety of technologies and practices can be used to manage the waste generated from drilling. Over the years, there has been a tremendous increase in technological advancements that has led to the reduction of waste generated from drilling. These technological advancements include cuttings slurrification and re-injection, de-watering, water treatment, vacuum collection, and cuttings drying. Also, market vendors are increasing their investments in R&D, which in turn is reducing the time in waste collection, treatment, and disposal. Therefore, rapid technological advancements are expected to propel the growth of the Global Drilling Waste Management market during the forecast period. According to the report, the growth of the Global Drilling Waste Management market is driven by several factors, including increasing concerns over the environment. An increase in drilling activities worldwide has raised environmental concerns; therefore, there is a rise in the adoption of various waste management services. This is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that drilling waste management requires high investments for the purchase of facilities and heavy equipment, which increases the overall cost of the drilling waste project. This could have a negative impact on the market growth rate during the forecast period.

Global Well Intervention Services Market 2014-2018: Aker Solutions ASA, Baker Hughes Inc., and Schlumberger Ltd. Dominates the Industry

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3sp2jt/global_well) has announced the addition of the "Global Well Intervention Services Market 2014-2018: Aker Solutions ASA, Baker Hughes Inc., and Schlumberger Ltd. Dominate the Industry" report to their offering. The Global Well Intervention Services market to grow at a CAGR of 11% to 2018 The increasing industrialization of developing countries, mainly in the APAC region, such as India and China, is driving the demand for energy. This is one of the major drivers in this market. The Well Intervention industry has always had the challenging task of optimizing the production of energy. The key players in the industry have resorted to various innovative mechanisms in order to meet the objective, including minimizing in-hole well time by deployment of multi-purpose tool strings, which has created significant cost advantages to the Well Intervention Services industry. The industry is widely adopting multi-data collection instruments and systems that provide precise information about the health of the well, such as the overall oil reserve content, and the geological characteristics of the terrain. However, intervention service providers need to focus on the integrity and functionality of this cost-intensive equipment as it is largely used remotely. The increasing adoption of multi-data collection instruments and systems is expected to favor the Global Well Intervention Services market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the aging shallow water oil reserves. The cost of technological expertise and equipment needed to manage deep water greenfield wells is high and prohibits many well intervention service vendors from carrying out their intervention plans. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Aker Solutions ASA - Baker Hughes Inc - Schlumberger Ltd. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Archer Well Company, Inc - EXPRO International Group Holdings Ltd - Halliburton Energy Services Co - Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc. - Weatherford International Ltd.
