The solid control drilling waste management industry is estimated to surpass over USD 2.3 billion by 2032, driven by the increasing stringency of environmental regulations and compliance requirements imposed by governments and international bodies. As a result, companies are investing in cutting-edge waste management technologies and practices that can effectively manage and reduce waste generated during drilling operations. This includes advancements in solids control systems, thermal treatment units, and other technologies that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of waste management processes.
Based on application, the onshore application is set to grow at a CAGR of over 8.2% through 2032. The growing emphasis on sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the oil and gas industry is the key growth driver of for business growth. The need to comply with the government laid regulations is driving demand for sophisticated solid control drilling waste management solutions across onshore applications, thereby propelling market growth.
The North America solid control drilling waste management market is likely to exceed USD 900 million by 2032. An increasing work across shale gas exploration and production has spurred increased drilling activities, resulting in a surge of drilling waste, especially in the U.S. For instance, in December 2023, the U.S. Lower 48 states achieved a record dry natural gas production of 105.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Over the year, production in these states grew by 3.7%, adding an extra 3.6 Bcf/d compared to 2022. As the U.S. energy demands continue to rise, the consequent boost in oil and gas production is set to reshape the business landscape.
