Market Overview:
The global oilfield surfactant chemicals market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for oilfield surfactants from various applications such as shale gas and oil & gas. On the basis of type, anionic surfactants are expected to account for a major share of the global oilfield surfactant chemicals market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their high efficiency in reducing surface tension between two liquids and ability to stabilize foams.
Product Definition:
Oilfield surfactant chemicals are used to reduce the surface tension of water, which helps to improve the flow of oil and gas from a well. They also help to prevent formation damage and increase production rates.
An-ionic Surfactant:
An-ionic surfactant is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of linear alkylbenzene. They are also known as linear alkyl benzene. The most common types of anionic surfactants used in industrial applications include sodium (SLS), potassium (SLES), and lithium (SLI). Anionics are usually amphoteric and can act as both anions and cations depending on the concentration, pH value, temperature, etc.
Cationic Surfactants:
Cationic surfactants are the chemical compounds that possess anionic group (–CO2H) in its structure. Cationic surfactant is a type of surface active agent used as an additive for oilfield applications such as drilling muds, sludge-treatment liquids, and other water-based formulations.
Application Insights:
The global demand for the product has witnessed a paradigm shift owing to shale gas revolution in North America. The region is now self-sufficient in terms of energy and no longer relies on foreign sources for its needs. This factor is likely to drive the growth of the oil & gas industry, thereby impacting positively on market growth during the forecast period.
The global consumption of these products was dominated by their use in drilling fluids, followed by their applications in hydraulic fracturing operations (specifically designed for shale plays). Drilling fluid emerged as the largest application segment and accounted for over 45% of total market revenue share in 2017 due to increasing need among operators to optimize well productivity while minimizing costs associated with it.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the largest regional segment in 2017 and is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period. The shale gas revolution in North America has led to a significant increase in production of oilfield services, which is likely to have a positive impact on market growth.
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) region emerged as the second-largest consumer of global oilfield surfactant chemicals owing to increasing exploration and production activities for unconventional energy resources such as shale gas and tight oil. In addition, growing industrialization along with rapid urbanization has resulted into increased demand for cleaning products, which will further propel industry expansion over the coming years.
Asia Pacific (APAC) accounted for approximately 23% of total market volume share in 2017 due to rising product demand from various end-use industries including manufacturing, automotive & transportation sector across emerging economies such as China and India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for oilfield surfactant chemicals from the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry due to its ability to improve hydrocarbon recovery, minimize environmental impact, and enhance operational efficiency.
- Rising investments in exploration and production activities by national as well as private players across the globe in order to meet rising energy demand.
- Proliferation of shale gas reserves in North America and other regions which is resulting in an increase in use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques that require high-quality surfactants for efficient performance.
- Stringent environmental regulations worldwide mandating reduced emissions from various industrial processes including oil & gas production that is likely to fuel adoption of advanced surfactant technologies over traditional ones.
