Oil Field Chemicals Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Application, By Oil Field Type, By Type, By Region, and Competition

Global Oil Field Chemicals Market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the deployment of advanced unconventional oil recovery methods.

The oil and Gas Industry has been known for its volatility since the inception of the first hydrocarbon discovery in Pennsylvania. Crude being a highly volatile substance, reflects how volatile this industry can be. The oil and gas industry possesses massive potential whose end use cannot be easily determined as the crude itself is a significant raw material to almost all the chemicals which are manufactured and utilized across a broad range of applications that are useful in daily lives.

The oil and Gas Industry is broadly categorized into two major segments, which are Upstream and Downstream. Upstream Industry deals with the processes which begin from the discovery of hydrocarbon-producing blocks to the successful production of crude oil from underground reservoirs. Whereas Downstream Segment ensures that raw crude oil is properly segregated and refined for the final consumption by end-user industries.

From the Investor perspective, it becomes paramount to optimize the cash flow at each node of various operations running under upstream and downstream segments. So huge amount of capital is invested by the industry players to regulate the cash flow in the entire hydrocarbon value chain. Production tools, recovery techniques, drilling technologies, and oil field chemicals are the basic minimum requirements that are consumed at their best limits to generate larger profits. Thus, oil field chemicals have a huge impact on oil fields, and refineries facilitate the production without damaging any adjoining processes, from drilling an oil well to refining by the downstream companies. Its specific usage in operations like drilling, production, workover, cementing, completion, EOR, etc., has made the overall market more investible.

Paradigm Shift Towards Local Manufacturing

Countries across the globe are witnessing rapid development in the local manufacturing of oil field chemicals, linked with the incentivized schemes framed by the government and the setup of new manufacturing plants by major oil field chemical companies. Increased production of Oil field chemicals would aid in reducing the cost associated with the supply chain and maintenance, thereby ensuring ease accessibility of oil field chemicals in various onshore and offshore oil and gas developmental activities. The Upstream Investment plans in OPEC have significantly increased in 2020 compared to 2019. In 2019, the upstream investment plans stood at around USD30 billion, which increased to around USD36.5 billion in 2020. With rising upstream investments in the OPEC region, upstream activities are anticipated to increase, resulting in creating more demand for oilfield chemicals in the region over the course of the next five years.

The rise of Oil Exploration and Production Activities Will Drive Market Growth

The market is driven by the increase in oil exploration and production activities, which in turn fuels demand for sophisticated drilling fluids, oilfield chemicals, deep-water and ultra-deep-water drilling projects, and the rapid development of shale oil and gas drilling and production. The drilling and cementing segment is expected to dominate the market for global oilfield chemicals due to the thousands of drilling rigs present around the world, rising crude oil production each year to meet the rising demand to meet the energy requirement and the use of both organic and inorganic base chemicals. Oilfield chemicals in the drilling segment maintain temperature and stop contaminated goods from getting into the drilling fluid system.

Incorporating Unconventional Techniques to Extract Oil from Tight Fields

Conventional methods to produce oil might work normally in a field where the natural energy of the reservoir is sufficient to pull out oil from the earth against high temperature and pressure conditions. However, those methods are obsolete and need improvisation as most of the fields are profitable. Oil and gas assets demand advanced techniques to be deployed to have most of the recoverable oil for further sale to oil refiners. The E&P companies operating in Oil producing countries are switching to new and emerging production techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing, EOR, etc., which is pushing the use of specialty oilfield chemicals as a lot of chemical assistance is required for oil and gas extraction through these techniques, thus resulting in boosting demand for oil filed chemicals and driving the growth of Global Oil Field Chemicals.
