Surfactant Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Market Definition
Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an oil recovery process that is used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be retrieved from oil fields. This approach is used under geologically favourable settings, as evidenced by single well or inter-well tracers and water flooding performances.
Surfactant Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Surging Production From Maturing Oilfields
The increased need for oil and gas further leads firms to expand production from older areas. According to a Halliburton assessment, mature fields account for roughly 70% of global oil and gas output. As a result, these businesses are currently focusing on enhancing recovery and prolonging the life of mature fields through the deployment of EOR technology, hence exceeding production levels. As a result, his factor is estimated to fuel demand for the enhanced oil recovery market.
The low cost of chemicals used in comparison to price of crude oil produced and rapid depletion of existing fossil fuel resources will further propel the growth rate of surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market. Additionally, the increasing efforts by upstream companies to enhance the production from the mature fields and the need to increase production from existing wells are other market growth determinants projected to bolster the growth of the market.
Opportunities
- Innovations and Investments
Furthermore, the surge in number of innovations related to chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) such as robust hybrid processes, extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the utilization of bio-based chemicals by the manufacturers owing to its environment-friendly nature and the surging levels of investment on research and development activities will further expand the future growth of the surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Requirement Of Complex Technology
The complex technology involved for this process will create hindrances for the growth of the surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market.
- High Adoption Of Renewable Energy
There has been shift toward renewable energy within some regions, which has largely resulted in the decline of oil consumption. This downturn has resulted in a decrease in oil consumption as well as a decrease in oil and gas production and drilling activity, lowering demand for improved oil recovery services.
- Issues Associated with Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Also, the issues such as the geological dependency of this technique along with the risk of formation damage while drilling will prove to be a demerit for the surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market. Therefore, these drawbacks are anticipated to pose as a challenge the surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market growth rate.
Moreover, the volatility in oil prices is also expected to hamper growth of the global surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market.
