The drilling data management systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of drilling processes, digital twin adoption, deepwater exploration growth, cost reduction initiatives, real-time decision support systems. Major trends in the forecast period include real-time drilling data analytics, ai-based drilling optimization, cloud and hybrid deployment models, integrated sensor data platforms, predictive performance monitoring.

The rising drilling activities in offshore and onshore oil and gas sectors are expected to drive the growth of the drilling data management systems market. Offshore and onshore oil and gas refer to the extraction of petroleum resources from beneath the ocean floor and land surface, respectively. These drilling activities are increasing as global energy demand grows and countries aim to secure stable energy supplies to support industrial expansion and urbanization. Drilling data management systems are vital in these operations, offering real-time monitoring, improving safety, reducing operational costs, and enabling data-driven decision-making for more efficient and accurate drilling processes. For example, in October 2024, DrillingContractor, a US-based drilling services provider, reported that liquid production is expected to grow from 102.4 million barrels per day in 2024 to 108.4 million barrels per day by 2028. Similarly, gas production is forecasted to rise from 68.1 million barrels per day to 73.4 million barrels per day during the same period. Therefore, the growing drilling activities in oil and gas are boosting demand for advanced drilling data management systems.

Leading companies in the drilling data management systems market are concentrating on developing advanced high-speed intelligent telemetry to improve real-time decision-making and drilling performance. High-speed intelligent telemetry combines proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms with dynamic survey-while-drilling services to deliver continuous, high-fidelity subsurface measurements in real time, enhancing data quality and supporting better operational decisions in complex drilling conditions. For example, in November 2024, Schlumberger Limited (SLB), a U.S.-based global energy technology company, launched Stream high-speed intelligent telemetry, which increases drilling confidence and performance for complex wells by addressing the limitations of conventional mud pulse telemetry through AI-driven data transmission. The solution provides uninterrupted, high-speed, high-fidelity real-time subsurface measurements without data restrictions, regardless of depth or challenging conditions, improving drilling consistency and reservoir insights. Stream telemetry has been deployed in 14 countries across more than 370 runs and 1.5 million feet drilled, enabling operators to obtain high-quality data at extreme depths and enhance geosteering operations in demanding environments.

In November 2024, acQuire Technology Solutions, an Australia-based provider of information management software, acquired BlackFox Tech Inc. for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is intended to strengthen acQuire’s offering in drilling data management by integrating BlackFox’s advanced cloud-based system into its existing product suite. This integration will help mining and drilling companies gain deeper insights, improve productivity, and make better data-driven decisions. BlackFox Tech Inc., based in the United States, specializes in innovative drilling data management technologies.
