The rotary steerable system (RSS) is a directional drilling system that performs the directional function in real time while the drill string is rotating during drilling. It is a major change in directional drilling technology since the 1990s. RSS has the characteristics of low friction and torsional resistance, high drilling speed, low cost, short well construction period, smooth well trajectory, easy control and extended horizontal section length. It is considered to be the development direction of modern directional drilling technology. The rotary steerable system is one of the most important cutting-edge equipment in the field of oil drilling engineering today. It is also the core technology and major equipment for realizing the development of oil drilling in the direction of digitalization, informatization and automation. It can be widely used in the directional operations of special drilling processes such as ultra-deep wells, horizontal wells, large displacement wells, and branch wells in land and marine environments.
The report mainly counts the market situation of autonomous rotary steerable system engineering technology services.
The market drivers of autonomous rotary steerable systems mainly include the following:
1. Technological breakthrough: the leap from following to leading
Core performance leap
Improved precision and efficiency: The domestic system uses a multi-dimensional dynamic control device to achieve real-time trajectory correction of the drill bit thousands of meters underground, and the hydraulic transmission error is controlled at 0.1 mm. The drilling rate is increased to 98% (only 85% for traditional technology). The memory alloy variable diameter stabilizer can automatically adjust the contact area according to the hardness of the formation, reduce friction by 30%, and significantly improve drilling efficiency.
Intelligent control: The deep learning algorithm shortens the trajectory optimization response time to 8 seconds (manual operation requires 20 minutes), and the drilling gamma imager draws 16 azimuth geological profiles in real time, and the average single well production is increased by 25%. The independently developed high-temperature resistant sealing material (175°C working condition) ensures the reliability of the hydraulic system in ultra-deep wells.
Material and process innovation
Ability to withstand extreme environments: Nano-ceramic bearings withstand 200kN axial loads and extend their life by 3 times; graphene composite coatings show excellent corrosion resistance in hydrogen sulfide environments.
Economic breakthrough: The new tool is compatible with conventional drilling tools, saving about 350,000 yuan in tool costs per well, shortening the operation cycle of a single well by 7 days, and creating a new record of 2,003 meters in a single trip in shale gas development.
2. Market demand: Oil and gas development is evolving towards deep and complex environments
Global oil and gas exploration trends
Deep and unconventional resource development: Traditional oil and gas resources are decreasing, and the development of unconventional resources such as shale gas and tight oil has become the mainstream. Autonomous rotary steering systems have become a key technology for drilling in complex formations (such as broken formations) due to their high efficiency and precision.
Market size forecast: The global market size is expected to reach US$540 million in 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The Asia-Pacific region has become an important growth pole due to the rising demand for infrastructure and oil and gas exploration.
Domestic substitution and cost advantages
Breaking foreign monopoly: Domestic systems (such as CG-STEER) have a slope rate of 11.2°/30m, surpassing similar foreign technologies and promoting the localization process.
Significant economic benefits: Domestic systems reduce drilling costs by 40%, shorten operation cycles by 30%, and save about 350,000 yuan per well, with obvious economic advantages.
3. Policy support: driven by national strategy and energy security
Promoted at the national level
Science and technology projects such as the "863 Plan": support core technology research and accelerate the localization process.
Energy security policy: The external dependence of oil and gas has increased, and policies encourage exploration and development to ensure supply security.
Industry standards and environmental protection requirements
Intelligent and green transformation: The government promotes the reduction of drilling waste, carbon emissions, and technology upgrades.
Regional development policies: The market demand in the Asia-Pacific region (especially China, India, and Southeast Asia) is growing rapidly, and policies support the integration of localized supply chains and industrial chains.
4. Capital investment: driven by international giants and domestic capital
Layout of international giants
M&A and cooperation: Baker Hughes, Halliburton, etc. expand their market share through mergers and acquisitions and cooperation, and Schlumberger and Baker Hughes control the high-end equipment market.
Technology iteration investment: International companies continue to invest in research and development to promote the development of systems in the direction of intelligence and miniaturization.
Active domestic capital
National strategic funds: The 13th Five-Year National Science and Technology Major Project funded the development of the CG-STEER system.
Venture capital and private equity: The expansion of the market size (US$389 million in 2024 and US$544 million in 2031) attracts capital and accelerates technology iteration and commercialization.
The growth of the autonomous rotary steerable system market is driven by technological breakthroughs, oil and gas development needs, policy support, capital investment and competitive landscape. Technological progress improves system performance and intelligence level and reduces development costs; oil and gas exploration advances to deep and complex environments to expand market demand; national strategies and energy security policies promote localization; international and domestic capital accelerates technology iteration and commercialization; competition between international giants and domestic companies promotes technological innovation and market expansion. In the future, as technology matures further and demand grows in the Asia-Pacific region, the market will continue to expand, and intelligence and greening will become the main development direction. Domestic companies need to focus on technological innovation and domestic substitution, and international companies need to adapt to regional differentiated needs to jointly promote the industry to a higher level.
