Market Overview:
The global oilfield shale inhibitors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for oil and gas, shale gas, and other hydrocarbons across the globe. In addition, the growing awareness about environmental concerns is also propelling the demand for oilfield shale inhibitors globally. The global oilfield shale inhibitors market can be segmented on the basis of type into plaster, silicate, lime, and potassium salt. The plaster segment is expected to hold a major share of the global market in 2018 owing to its high performance and low cost as compared to other types of inhibitors available in the market. On account of their superior properties such as thermal stability and resistance against water erosion, silicate-based products are anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period from 2018to 2030.
Product Definition:
Oilfield shale inhibitors are chemicals that are used to prevent the formation of oilfield shales. These inhibitors are typically added to drilling fluids and can help reduce the incidence of shale formations. Oilfield shales can cause problems for drillers, as they can lead to equipment failures and reduced production rates. Inhibitors help to minimize these issues by preventing the formation of these troublesome deposits.
Plaster:
Plaster is a widely used material in the oilfield shale inhibitors market. It is a fine powder made from calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate and clay. The material has high water absorption capacity which helps it to inhibit the migration of oil, gas, and fluids in formations where impermeable rocks meet porous ones.
Silicate:
Silicates are crystalline, inorganic, and non-metals that are made of silicon and oxygen. They have a similar structure to that of sand; composed of grains called clays. The most common silicate is sodium silicate which has the formula (2SiO4)2.
Application Insights:
The global oilfield shale inhibitors market is segmented by application into oil and gas, and shale gas. The oil and gas segment dominated the overall industry in 2017, accounting for over 60% of the total revenue share. This high share is attributable to rising demand from onshore activities such as conventional exploration & production of crude oil & natural gas along with growing onshore hydrocarbon infrastructure development across various regions including Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America etc.
Shale Gas was the fastest-growing application segment owing to increasing exploration activities for shaleGas reserves globally which has been proven as a clean fossil fuel alternative source replacing coal in power generation applications due to its higher combustion rate when compared with other conventional fuels such as crude Oil or Natural Gas etc. Increasing use of this abundant resource both directly within households through domestic heating applications along with its usage in industrial processes such as cement manufacturing will further boost product demand over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the dominant regional market in 2017 and accounted for over 45% of the global revenue share. The U.S., which is one of the major consumers of oilfield shale inhibitors, has witnessed a significant increase in its production owing to technological advancements and high demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive, marine and power generation sectors.
The Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest-growing markets with a CAGR exceeding 6% during the forecast period on account of rapid development in China's oil & gas industry along with growing investments by MNCs for enhancing production capacity from tight oil wells using enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques are anticipated to drive product demand over coming years. In addition, increasing government support towards E&P activities coupled will low labor costs across countries such as China and India are expected to further boost exploration activities thereby driving product demand over coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for oilfield shale inhibitors from the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry to improve production efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
- Growing number of drilling activities for shale gas exploration across North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
- Rising investments in R&D by key players to develop novel products that can address specific needs of various applications is projected to propel market growth.
- Proliferation of hydraulic fracturing or fracking technology for shale gas extraction is anticipated to create new opportunities for oilfield shale inhibitors market over the next few years.
