Directional drilling is a technique that involves deviating a wellbore along a planned path to explore oil from a targeted position in typical oilfields. The directional drilling market has witnessed slow growth during the last five years, but is expected to gain momentum in future as there are increasing investments in exploration and production (E&P) activities.

The Middle East drilling services market is witnessing decent growth owing to the increasing energy demand, advancements in technology, and sizable investments around Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. Saudi Arabia dominates the drilling services market, followed by UAE and Qatar respectively. In terms of services, contract drilling services holds the largest share in the drilling services market. In terms of applications, the market is dominated by offshore applications though the onshore applications are expected to grow as well in future.

This report covers the drilling services market in the Middle East under different types of services, which include contract drilling, directional drilling, LWD, and drilling waste management. The directional drilling service is the second largest segment with a 2.1% market share in 2014. The lucrative and high investment areas in offshore regions, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other countries are driving the growth of the drilling services market.
