Market Overview:
The global frac plugs market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for oil and gas across the globe. Additionally, rising investments in exploration and production activities are also propelling the growth of this market. The global frac plugs market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into composite plugs, dissolvable plugs, cast iron plugs,. Composite plug dominates this market with a share of more than 60%. This can be attributed to their high strength-to-weight ratio which makes them suitable for use in challenging applications such as high pressure and deep wells.
Product Definition:
A frac plug is a tool used in the oil and gas industry to stop the flow of fluid during a fracking operation.
Composite Plugs:
Composite plugs are made up of multiple materials such as ceramic, plastic and metal. These composite plugs have the ability to fill gaps in concrete and other masonry units. They also provide resistance to corrosion which is a major concern with steel or iron plugging solutions. Composite plugs are used for applications where water pressure is high or there is a possibility of water leakage from the construction site such as around pipes, electrical boxes or any other structure that may leak during installation.
Dissolvable Plugs:
Dissolvable plugs are small plastic pieces that are intended to be placed in the wellbore of shale or tight reserves during cement placement. They act as a barrier between the cement and formation fluids, thereby preventing fluid loss from the well. The dissolvable plug is lowered into position by means of a wireline or coiled tubing string and then it is sealed at its lower end with an epoxy resin-based material called as “cable seal”.
Application Insights:
The application segment is segregated into vertical and horizontal wells. The vertical well plugging application dominated the overall industry in terms of revenue share in 2017. Horizontal drilling has been gaining popularity over the past few years owing to its low cost, less risk, shorter development time and easy operations. However, due to low permeability associated with shale rock layers under moderate pressure zones it cannot be used for producing oil & gas from shale reserves thus leading to adoption of plugs for extraction of hydrocarbons from these rocks.
The composite frac plug is a kind of reusable product which comprises two parts namely a core made up of high strength steel alloy and an outer layer that gets dissolved away when exposed to hydraulic pressure during drilling operation.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the high number of shale gas reserves present in this region. The U.S., being a developed economy, has more options for disposal wells and thus, higher demand for such products over there. In addition, growing awareness regarding hydraulic fracturing and its associated risks is expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increasing government support towards development of unconventional energy resources in countries such as China and India coupled with rising awareness about environmental hazards associated with traditional sources of energy supply (petroleum & coal). These factors are likely to boost product demand over the next eight years. Moreover, rapid industrialization along with presence of major manufacturers including MSC Industrial Directing Corporation; Belden Inc.; Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.; Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.; Panasonic Corporation; Sumitomo Electric Industries, Inc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for oil and gas across the globe
- Rising investments in shale gas exploration and production
- Proliferation of hydraulic fracturing technology
- Stringent environmental regulations for drilling operations
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using frac plugs
