Specialty oilfield chemicals are chemical compounds that are specifically designed and used for various applications in the oil and gas industry. These chemicals are used in oil and gas exploration, production, and processing operations to enhance performance, increase efficiency, and improve the quality of the end product. Drilling fluids additives, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, demulsifiers, surfactants, friction reducers, etc. are some of its examples. Overall, specialty oilfield chemicals play a critical role in optimizing oil and gas production and improving the overall efficiency and safety of oil and gas operations. High oil and gas prices incentivize oil and gas companies to invest in exploration and production, which leads to increased demand for specialty oilfield chemicals. Other factors that influence the growth of the global specialty oilfield chemical market are increasing demand for oil and natural gas, technological advancements, government regulations, and exploration and production activities in new regions.
Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market Growth Drivers:
- One of the main factors that drive the market for specialty oilfield chemicals is the rising demand for oil and gas.
The growing demand for oil and gas is driving the exploration and production of new reserves, which requires the use of specialty oilfield chemicals to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs. According to the International Energy Agency, global oil production in 2020 was recorded at 4141 megatonnes (MT), furthermore, the agency predicts that the oil demand will increase from 91 thousand barrels per day (mb/d) in 2020 to around 104 mb/d in 2026. The same source also suggests that global oil production is forecasted to increase by an average of 1.1 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023 and 1.5 million b/d in 2024. Data from IEA shows that around 46,578,007 terajoules (TJ) of oil was produced in the Middle East in 2020 whereas 12,157,338.0 TJ of oil production was recorded in Africa in the same year. Increasing natural gas production and consumption will also lead to the growth of the specialty oilfield chemicals market. IEA data shows that global natural gas production was recorded at 4014 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2020. The global natural gas final consumption was recorded at 73,513,956.0 TJ in 2020. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that the total natural gas consumption in the U.S. has gone up from 3,346,928 million cubic feet (MMcf) in 2021 to 3,593,028 MMcf in 2022. Such an increase in the production and consumption of oil & natural gas will drive the market growth of specialty oilfield chemicals.
Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market Geographical Outlook:
- The North American region is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth in the specialty oilfield chemicals market.
The expanding oil production in North America is boosting the demand for speciality oilfield chemicals that are necessary to ensure safety and efficiency in the oil production process. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the United States became the world’s top crude oil producer in 2018 and maintained the lead position through 2021. The same source also shows that Texas was the largest oil-producing state in 2021 with around 42.4% of the oil produced, followed by New Mexico, North Dakota, and Alaska with 11.1%, 9.9%, and 3.9% of the oil produced respectively. According to the same source, U.S. oil production is forecasted to reach a historic high of 12.81 million barrels per day by 2024, compared to an average of 11.86 million barrels per day in 2022. As per the International Trade Administration, Mexico stands as one of the leading oil-producing countries globally, with a daily production of 1.9 million barrels in 2021. It is the fourth-largest oil producer in the Americas, following the United States, Canada, and Brazil.
