Market Analysis

The growing oil and gas drilling activities are leading to the growth of the global kelly drive market. Oil and gas companies are concentrating progressively on the automation of drilling rigs and related equipment. It is possible to compare and evaluate a large amount of data obtained by the sensors in automated drilling rigs to make the right decisions. Next-generation mechanical platforms use technology and software to combine drilling processes like drill bits, BHA, and other downhole devices with surface equipment. Also, drilling rig automation will reduce the risk of human errors and increase the efficiency of oil and gas drilling operations. These advantages of automated drilling rigs should allow oil and gas companies to substitute the kelly drive for top drive systems. Mechanical drilling rigs will emerge as a key factor driving the kelly drive market globally.
