Oilfield Chemicals Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Oilfield chemicals are certain chemical compounds used to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations associated in an oilfield site. These chemicals find their application under drilling, production, completion, and several other operations under these conditions. These chemicals are used in the purification of equipment, machines, oil itself and the oil sites.

Global Oilfield Chemicals Market Dynamics

Driver

• Surging Oil Production and Exploration

Oilfield chemicals are in high demand as oil production and exploration operations increase. Oilfield chemicals demand is predicted to rise further as shale oil and gas drilling and production expands and deep-water and ultra-deep-water drilling projects expand. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is estimated to invest US$ 2.73 billion in drilling oil and gas wells in 2019, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). Foreign investors are projected to have opportunities to engage in petroleum and natural gas projects worth USD 300 billion in India by 2022, as the country seeks to reduce its dependency on oil imports by 10%. As a result, the demand for oilfield chemicals is likely to rise as oil and gas exploration projects increase over the forecast period.

Opportunity
