Oilfield Drilling Fluid additives are chemical formulations which are used for multiple functions in oil processing. The additive technologies excel with emulsification and thinning/dispersion of oil-based muds. They help to create proper fluid weighting to balance pressure formation and optimize fluid flow. Other functions include maintaining strong boundary lubrication films in silicate-based mud systems specialized for shale drilling, which is done by lubricating agents. Among the other functions are wettability, detergency, dispersancy, and clay stabilization. Selection of drilling fluid additives requires careful consideration of several criteria, such as; well design, rock composition, potential formation pressures and temperatures, reservoir chemistry, protection of the producing zone, and environmental regulations.
The key factors owing to the growth of this industry are the increasing demand from energy sector which is creating thrust for drilling deeper to extract more oil. Another important reason for the rise in Oilfield Drilling Fluid additives, particularly in the biocides industry, is the protection of oil from various harmful organisms.
The global market in 2014 was $2,592 Million and is dominated by North America which is poised to exhibit the fastest growth due to the U.S’s revolutionary fracking operations. On the other hand, for APAC region China and India are the growth frontiers in the oilfield drilling fluid additives manufacturers providing a huge potential market to be tapped. Other major market includes Europe which accounted for a significant market share. The oilfield drilling fluids market in the U.S is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period 2015 to 2020.
