The global Underbalanced Drilling Services market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,141 million in 2025 to US$ 1,626 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2026 to 2032.

Underbalanced drilling service is a drilling technology that controls the bottom hole pressure below the formation pore pressure range, aims to reduce the damage of drilling fluid to the formation, while allowing formation fluid to enter the wellbore and evaluate reservoir characteristics in real time. This technology can effectively reduce formation damage, improve oil and gas recovery, and reduce drilling fluid loss and non-productive time (NPT). Underbalanced drilling is widely used in the development of low-pressure, depleted oil and gas reservoirs and unconventional oil and gas resources, and helps optimize wellbore stability and production efficiency.
