Global Oil Field Chemicals Market: Drivers and Restraints

Growing concerns pertaining to energy security makes it mandatory to optimize exploration and production of hydrocarbons. With an outstanding range of specialized technologies, this need of optimization can be achieved, which is acting as the primary driver of the market. Moreover, as the oil and gas industry is burdened by stringent timelines and environmental issues, oil field chemicals allows bacterial growth as well as foam and wax formation. Since the cost to produce oil from new sources is significantly higher than the rejuvenation of old sources, the demand for oil field chemicals is benefitted. The report also notes that the exploration of unconventional and deepwater reserves requires specialized and sophisticated chemicals. With the current oil market scenario, formulating them will be an expensive task. This factor will further augment the demand during the forecast period. Conversely, declining oil prices is expected hinder the potential of the market.

Global Oil Field Chemicals Market: Regional Outlook

Currently, North America serves the maximum demand for oil field chemicals, which is attributed to the incremented production of tar sands. In addition to it, issues of aging wells and troubles of corrosion will further fuel the demand from the region. Asia Pacific region is also projected to expand at a healthy rate during the forecast period, owing to increasing drilling and cementing operations. The Middle East countries also make up for a lucrative market for oil field chemicals as several oil wells are old and require rejuvenation, besides continuous efforts to explore new oil wells.
