Oilfield Chemicals Market, by Application (Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream) and by Region (North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Oilfield chemicals are chemical compounds used to improve the efficacy and efficiency of activities at an oilfield site. Various chemicals are used at diverse stages of process, starting from the borehole drilling, to stimulation and application, and finally to the closing of the borehole. Organic and inorganic, both chemicals are used as base chemicals that provide distinct and sophisticated functionalities such as matrix fluid or as weighting agents in order to increase the specific weight of the drilling fluid.
Market Dynamics
Based on applications, oilfield chemicals has been segregated into upstream, midstream, and downstream chemicals. Furthermore, under upstream segment, drilling chemicals category held the significant market share of around 15.0% in the global market in 2018. The growth in unconventional and offshore fields is likely to propel the demand for oilfield chemicals in the coming years.
Oilfield chemicals are used as cementing super plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, emulsion breakers, drilling additives, and paraffin dispersants. Global oilfield chemicals market continues to witness strong growth as it has led to cost-effective Applications, extraction, and exploration of oil and natural gas. Oil field chemicals contribute in achieving the greater efficiency and Applications which cost-effectively maximize the recovery of oil and gas reserves, while minimizing the impact on the environment.
Among regions, Asia Pacific held third largest market share in the global oilfield chemicals market. Factors such as increasing demand for petroleum-based fuel from transportation sector is expected to drive the demand for oilfield chemicals in the region. Furthermore, growing number of deep-water drilling operations is likely to provide impetus opportunities for industry players in Asia Pacific in the near future.
