Resurgence in E&P Activity to Drive Growth in the Global Oilfield Chemicals Market
Resurgence
in E&P activity , rise in use of high value chemicals, and growing interest
in exploration of unconventional and deepwater resources are poised to drive the
global market for Oilfield
Chemicals to reach US$37.3 billion by 2024.
Oilfield
chemicals are applied in all stages of the oil and gas production process,
ranging from well exploration, drilling, cementing, and stimulation to oil
production and EOR applications in the oil and natural gas industry. Demand for
oilfield chemicals is impacted by the trends in oil and gas sector, as these
chemicals find application in exploration and other oil and gas field
processing stages. . Consumption of oilfield chemicals for various applications
differs by geographic location. This is due to the fact that oil and natural
gas resources are not evenly distributed across the globe, and the depths as
well as geological characteristics of the reserves vary greatly across
different regions. Hence, the growth in demand for oilfield chemicals rests
upon the oil and natural gas exploration activities worldwide, drilling, and
production activity, but not essentially in proportion to the increase in these
activities. The extent of investments made by oil and gas companies, which is
influenced by prices of natural gas and oil, also affects industry dynamics. In
addition, growing interest in unconventional and offshore fields is expected to
augment the demand for oilfield chemicals in forthcoming years.
Oilfield
chemicals market reported strong growth in 2017, driven by the increase in rig
counts, improving oil prices and rise in oil and gas production. Growth in the
market was primarily driven by North America, led by significant surge in
drilling and production activity. The market is expected to continue the
healthy growth in near term encouraged by stability in oil prices, positive
scenario in E&P investments, recovery in the international markets,
continued growth in upstream activities in North America and improving global
economy. Noteworthy trends in the market comprise growing demand for advanced drilling fluids and production chemicals
with capability to improve penetration maximize recovery from the well, and
reduce drilling time and yield higher ROI. Companies are investing heavily in
innovative solutions to drill into more challenging formations and high
temperature high pressure environments. Growth in the market was primarily
driven by North America, led by significant surge in drilling and production
activity.
As
stated by the new market research report on Oilfield Chemicals, the United States
represents the largest and fastest growing market worldwide. The US is a key
market for these oilfield chemicals, as the country is the center for majority
of drilling and exploration activities. Demand for oilfield chemicals is led by
higher average crude oil prices and encouraging investments in the shale
sector. Hydraulic fracturing continues to maintain its position as the leading
application area for oilfield chemicals
Major
players in the market include Akzo Nobel NV, Albemarle Corp., Baker Hughes,
Elementis Plc, Halliburton Company, The Lubrizol Corporation, NALCO Champion,
Newpark Resources, Inc., Schlumberger Limited, and M-I SWACO, Solvay SA, among
others.
