Global Drilling Fluid Market 2024 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2030

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Drilling Fluid market size was valued at USD 9992.1 million in 2023 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 13600 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.

Drilling fluid is any fluid that circulated in the borehole to help in carrying out a cost-effective and efficient drilling operation resulting in stable and gauged borehole to targeted depth with minimum possible damage to prospective formations.



Drilling fluid, also called drilling mud is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth. Often used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs, drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells. One of the functions of drilling mud is to carry cuttings out of the hole.



The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.

Global key players of drilling fluids include Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, etc. America is the largest producer of semiconductor sealing products, holds a share over 50%, followed by Asia-Pacific, and Europe. In terms of product, water based fluids (WBF) is the largest segment, with a share about 50%. And in terms of application, the largest segment is onshore drilling, with a share about 75%.
