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.

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.

Global Subsea Well Access and BOP System Market to 2019
M2 - Thu May 08, 2:43AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5hqfxb/subsea_well) has announced the addition of the "Subsea Well Access and BOP System Market by Type, BOP Type and Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering. The blowout preventer systems market is expected to reach $5.8 billion by 2019 at a CAGR of 7.7% Leading manufacturers in the subsea well access system market are Cameron International Corporation (U.S.), National Oilwell Varco Inc. (U.S.), Proserv (U.K.), Rongsheng Machinery Manufacturer Ltd (China) and UZTEL Ltd (Romania). The subsea well access system market is growing with increased safety regulations, offshore drilling activities, and rising need of production efficiency. Well access takes place while drilling and performing intervention activities in a well. Its market witnessed a high growth and is expected to increase in future, due to increased requirement for new subsea wells and growth in need for intervention in old subsea wells. Onshore wells have a 20-30% more recovery rate because intervention is easily possible. Thus, companies are trying hard to come up with dynamic systems, which can perform intervention efficiently, saving time and cost. The well access system plays a very important role in this scenario. The market is estimated to reach about 4 billion by 2019. The trend of intervention is expected to change with vessel based also known as Riserless light well intervention is expected to increase exponentially. Costly and time-consuming rig-based intervention techniques will show a declining trend. With the increasing demand of energy, offshore is emerging as a new avenue of investment, thus escalating the number of well interventions, which in turn will lead to higher demand for well access systems. In a similar way, the blowout preventer market witnessed high growth in recent years due to increased safety concerns and drilling activities conducted by various National Oil Companies (NOC). Blowout preventer systems can be classified into two types- Annular Type and RAM type. The RAM type BOP can be of three types- Pipe RAM, Blind RAM, and Shear RAM. The report focuses on subsea well access system market by type and geography. The value of the market for well access system is analyzed in detail for all major countries. The study covers different strategies such as contract agreements, equipment supply, mergers & acquisition, geographical expansions, and others. FMC Technologies, Aker Solutions, Weatherford International Limited, GE Energy, Tenaris, and Cross Group are the dominant market leaders that provide this equipment. As per the rig count analysis, Asia-Pacific is the biggest market in terms of drilling activities followed by the North America and the South America. However, as per the value market, the CAGR of Europe is the highest which is 8.6% followed by the Middle East and Africa regions.
