Logging While Drilling (LWD) Market – Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The global Logging While Drilling (LWD) Market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 7.6% from 2023-2030.

Logging While Drilling (LWD) is a system that is applied in oil fields. LWD system is used to get real-time data during the drilling of the oil wells. LWD tools are used to determine the physical properties of the bore well, such as porosity, conductivity, density, saturation, and others. Measurements by the LWD system provide accurate information about the geological formation while drilling. The real-time data regarding the physical properties of the well enables the operator to determine the rate of the penetration of the drilling machine, optimize the process and make decisions accordingly. LWD tools help to enhance the drilling activity and to improve the overall performance of the process. LWD system can be used for onshore as well as offshore purposes.

The rise in industrialization and urbanization all over the world is propelling the demand for energy and power activities. The surge in deep-water and unconventional energy and power activities will also help earn high logging-while-drilling market revenues. Furthermore, the accelerating demand for technical expertise for cost-competitive oil and gas production is further expected to fuel the Logging While Drilling Market growth.

On the other hand, the volatile oil prices over the recent period, owing to the supply-demand gap, geopolitics, and several other factors have been restraining the growth in the demand for logging while drilling (LWD).

The outbreak of COVID-19 forced energy companies to decrease their exploration and drilling activities and development expenditure, which reduced the demand for oil field services. The pandemic caused geopolitical uncertainties, prolonged trade tensions, and near-term demand disruptions. The following factors have miserably affected the market and are the major factors hindering market growth.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

The demand for logging while drilling (LWD) has been hindered due to the fluctuating oil prices caused by the supply-demand gap and geopolitical tensions, among other factors. However, the South American region is expected to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to the rising oil and gas activities in the region.

Moreover, the discovery of new oil and gas reserves and the liberalization of the industry worldwide have opened up new investment opportunities for players in the market. Riding on the optimism associated with the recovery of crude oil prices, onshore projects are expected to record significant growth over the forecast period, in turn, driving the demand for the logging while drilling (LWD) market.
