Based on application, the dust drilling segment occupies a significant share in the industry. Dust drilling is a cost-effective technique, providing an ideal environment for the use of air hammers. Dust drilling does not require any fluid system for clean-up and extends the drill bit life. Apart from being the least expensive type of air drilling, the process offers a maximum penetration rate. However, this technique cannot effectively handle wellbore fluid influxes, requiring the need to switch to mist or foam drilling in the presence of water.
The air core drilling industry in North America is driven by the expansion of various end use industries, including construction, oil and gas, and others. The rising demand for energy is leading to the growth of the oil and gas industry in the region, thereby propelling the market. Furthermore, the presence of advanced technologies and the thriving construction sector in the United States and Canada are anticipated to augment the market growth in the region over the forecast period.
