Drilling chemicals are also called drilling muds which are heavy, viscous fluid mixture that is used in oil and gas drilling operations to carry rock cuttings to the surface and also to lubricate and cool the drill bit. Drilling chemicals find application in simpler bore holes such as water wells and metal and mineral extraction. Depending on the application, drilling chemicals are classified into onshore and offshore chemicals. Therefore, increasing demand for drilling chemicals is expected to boost the drilling chemicals market growth over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Among applications, the onshore drilling segment is expected to witness a significant market share in the global drilling chemicals market. In 2021, the segment accounted for around 70.0% share of the global drilling chemicals market in terms of revenue. The onshore oil and natural gas industry continue to evolve, developing best practices and improving well designs. This evolution resulted in reduced drilling and completion times, lower total well costs, and increased well performance.
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as one of the potential areas for investment by the end of 2032. This is owing to the significant growth of the oil and gas industry in India and China. According to India Brand Equity Foundation, the oil and natural gas industry in India is expected to attract US$ 25 billion investment in exploration and production projects by 2022.
