A drill pipe is a seamless steel tube constituting the drill string and serves as a fundamental component of the entire drill string. It possesses a hollow structure, facilitating the circulation of drilling fluid through the bit and the annulus, both upward and downward through the hole.
The primary types of drill pipes include standard drill pipes, heavy-weight drill pipes, and drill collars. The standard drill pipe, constituting the major portion of the drill string, is a lengthy tubular element. Various materials, including alloys, composites, and others, are utilized for offshore and onshore applications in diverse industries such as oil and gas, mining, agriculture, and others.

The drill pipe market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.43 billion in 2023 to $1.52 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
The historical period's growth can be ascribed to a surge in oil and gas exploration activities, heightened investments in offshore exploration, the implementation of environmental and safety regulations, advancements in infrastructure development, and prevailing global economic trends.
The drill pipe market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the transition towards renewable energy, the emergence of market opportunities driven by innovation in materials, the implementation of energy transition policies, and geopolitical factors. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass a rising demand in oil and gas exploration, technological advancements, the impact of environmental regulations, market consolidation, increased competition, and challenges in the supply chain.
The anticipated growth of the drill pipe market is expected to be driven by the increasing operations of drilling rigs. A drilling rig, which serves as an integrated system, is designed for penetrating the subsurface to create wells, including those for water or oil extraction, as well as holes for various construction purposes. Drill pipes, a type of pipeline used on these rigs, are hollow, thin-walled tubes typically made of steel or aluminum alloy. As an illustration, in February 2023, Baker Hughes Company, a US-based oil field services company, reported a rise in the number of drilling rigs operating in the US, reaching 761 rigs for the week ending February 10. This marked an increase of 126 units from the 635 rigs operating at the same time the previous year. Consequently, the growth in drilling rig operations is a significant driver for the drill pipe market.
The surge in the demand for crude oil and natural gas is poised to propel the growth of the drill pipe market. Crude oil, a liquid hydrocarbon mixture found in underground reservoirs, and natural gas, primarily composed of methane (CH4) with additional components such as ethane, propane, and butane, drive the continued demand for drill pipes in the oil and gas industry. These pipes play a crucial role in transmitting drilling fluid and facilitating efficient drilling operations. As an example, according to the US Energy Information Administration in March 2023, there is an anticipated increase in U.S. crude oil output to 12.4 million b/d in 2023 from the record-high of 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, the US witnessed the highest annual consumption of natural gas at an average of 86.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), compared to the previous year. Therefore, the escalating demand for crude oil and natural gas is a key driver for the growth of the drill pipe market.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the drill pipe market, with major companies strategically embracing new technologies to maintain their market position. In April 2022, Vermeer Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of industrial and agricultural machines, introduced the D550 HDD (Horizontal directional drilling), a cutting-edge maxi rig drill equipped with HDD technology, weighing 550,000 pounds (249,475.8 kg). Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is an intelligent drilling technology that involves creating a tunnel beneath a defined area, followed by the pulling of a pipeline or utility through the tunnel. This method ensures precise drilling along the chosen bore path, with back reaming to insert the necessary pipe. Importantly, HDD minimizes soil contamination above ground by pushing the excavated earth to one side, and the durable pipe connections prevent tainted soil from entering the system.
Major companies in the market are responding to evolving industry needs by developing innovative products such as the drill pipe swivel to enhance drilling efficiency, safety, and overall performance. The drill pipe swivel is a mechanical device used in drilling operations, enabling the rotation of the drill string while facilitating the flow of drilling mud, ensuring controlled and efficient drilling in the oil and gas sector. In May 2023, Deep Casing Tools, an energy development company based in Scotland, launched MechLOK-T, a fully mechanical drill pipe swivel designed to address challenges related to friction and buckling, particularly in long, horizontal extended reach drilling (ERD) wells. This advanced tool enhances efficiency, reliability, and offers significant time and cost savings by allowing operators to reach target depths on the first attempt. Operating independently of hydraulics, MechLOK-T effectively reduces drag, redistributes friction, and mitigates helical buckling of the work-string, enabling successful completions in complex well environments.
In January 2021, Mincon Group plc, a US-based rock drilling services company, completed the acquisition of Spartan Drill Tools for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aims to strengthen Mincon's market position by expanding its product offerings and ensuring the delivery of high-quality goods. Spartan Drill Tools, a US-based drill pipe manufacturer and supplier company, became part of Mincon Group plc through this acquisition.
