Oil and Gas Sector is Driving Transformational Growth through Autonomous Drilling
The market for automation and autonomy in oil and gas (O&G) drilling and production (or simply, drilling automation) is one of the highest-growth subsegments of the overall O&G automation industry. Large global automation firms compete alongside dedicated O&G solution providers and disruptive technology developers.
The main technologies deployed are artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics. These technologies cover a wide variety of applications, including drilling systems, autonomous rigs, and exploration automation systems. They can significantly enhance efficiency and safety as well as reduce downtime and even carbon emissions through process optimization and efficiency gains.
This study analyzes the drilling automation sector on a global scale, covering all main trends and innovations occurring worldwide. The regions covered are North America (NA), Latin America (LATAM), Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). The analysis covers both onshore and offshore O&G exploration and production (E&P) operations, with a close look at a combination of hardware and software automation technologies designed for drilling processes.
This study provides a detailed analysis of the industry's growth trajectory, competitive landscape, and most dynamic growth opportunities from 2024 to 2030.
