The global oilfield chemicals market is expected to reach USD 35.46 billion by 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is attributed to the growing production of crude oil worldwide. Increased crude oil production often leads to higher drilling activities including the drilling of new wells and the maintenance of existing ones. Higher drilling activities result in an increased demand for drilling fluids, cementing additives, and other chemicals used in drilling operations. Moreover, as oilfields mature, techniques such as well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) may be employed to extract additional oil from existing reservoirs. These methods/techniques involve the use of oilfield chemicals, including polymers, surfactants, and acids, leading to an increased demand for these chemicals.
In addition, oilfield chemicals, such as retarders, accelerators, fluid loss additives, and dispersants, are incorporated into cement slurries used for wellbore cementing. These additives enhance the properties of the cement, ensuring effective zonal isolation and preventing gas migration between formations. Furthermore, in some mature fields, these chemicals are employed in enhanced oil recovery processes to improve the displacement of oil from reservoirs. This can include the injection of polymers, surfactants, or alkali agents.
Furthermore, as per the ongoing changing trends in the consumption of renewable/eco-friendly chemicals, various manufacturing companies are looking forward to developing and launching environmentally friendly chemicals that can be used in oilfield applications. For example, Nouryon has an extensive product portfolio of environmentally friendly and sustainable oilfield chemicals under multiple brand names, such as Armoclean 6000, Armohib CI, and StimWell HTFWitbreak NEO. These chemicals have been accepted by various regulatory agencies like CEFAS, WGK, and REACH. Another company named NuGenTec offers environmentally friendly and tailored chemical solutions to augment oil & gas production, clean out and recover oil from sludge in tanks, clean up and recover oil from spills, remove scale and prevent scale, reinstate flow efficiency to pipelines, and improve the overall efficiencies in the oilfield.
