Growth Factors in the Oilfield Chemicals Market

  • Growing demand: The oilfield chemicals industry is expanding due to rising product demand in a variety of petroleum activities, including improved oil recovery, hydraulic fracturing, well stimulation, drilling, cementing, and production.
  • Better oil extractions: In the process of increased oil recovery, oilfield chemicals are essential. They are employed to increase the oil's mobility and change the characteristics of the reservoir rock, which facilitates extraction.

Oilfield Chemicals Market Opportunities

  • In November 2024, with a business valuation of more than US$80 billion, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced the establishment of XRG, a revolutionary global lower-carbon energy and chemicals investment firm, subsequent to the Board's strategic endorsement.
  • In October 2024, Kuwait, a member of OPEC, intends to release bids for the construction of an oilfield. Four international companies will be invited to submit bids for the Mutraba field when the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) issues tenders soon.

Oilfield Chemicals Market Regional Analysis

U.S. Oilfield Chemicals Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2034

The U.S. oilfield chemicals market size is calculated at USD 5.93 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach around USD 9.05 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2034.

Presence of Large Oil Reservoirs: Middle East & Africa Dominated in 2023

Middle East and Africa led the oilfield chemicals market in 2023. These markets are mostly a result of increased drilling and oil exploration efforts to satisfy the world's demand for crude oil and natural gas. Saudi Arabia is strategically located and close to other OPEC nations, which is why few businesses are considering local production there.

One of the top ten countries in the world for oil production is the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Abu Dhabi is home to around 96% of the nation's approximately 100 billion barrels of known oil reserves, placing it sixth in the world. 3.2 million barrels of petroleum and liquids are produced daily on average in the United Arab Emirates.

Leading the oil and gas sector globally, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) operates in every sector of the business. By 2030, ADNOC anticipates that its highest sustainable production capacity will be 5 million barrels. According to data cited by the U.S. Energy Information Agency, the United Arab Emirates possesses more than 215 trillion cubic feet of confirmed natural gas reserves, ranking it sixth in the world.

ADNOC stated in February 2023 that it has inked deals worth $4.63 billion with 23 UAE and foreign firms for local production possibilities across a wide spectrum of vital industrial items. In keeping with the "Make it in the Emirates" campaign and the "Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy," the agreements specify the firms' plans to produce these goods in the United Arab Emirates.

Strategic Mergers to Expand North America’s Presence in the Industry

North America held the second-largest share of the oilfield chemicals market in 2023. due to the fact that it is a significant producer of gas and oil, home to well-known oil firms, and actively participates in strategic mergers and acquisitions to increase its market share. Because of its enormous oil and gas deposits and ongoing technical developments in extraction techniques, the United States, in particular, dominates the North American oilfield chemicals market.

An average of 20.28 million barrels per day (b/d) of petroleum were consumed in the United States in 2022, of which 1.17 million b/d were biofuels (1.002 b/d of gasoline ethanol and 0.164 b/d of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other biofuels combined).1 The United States consumed almost 2% more petroleum in 2022 than it did in 2021. In the US, gasoline is the most widely used petroleum product.

  • About 8.78 million barrels per day (369 million gallons per day) of finished motor gasoline were consumed on average in 2022, accounting for almost 43% of all petroleum consumption in the United States.

Fuel ethanol is a component of finished motor gasoline. About 3.96 million barrels per day (166 million gallons per day) of distillate fuel oil were consumed on average in 2022, accounting for 20% of all petroleum consumption in the United States.

Industry Expansion & Demand for Shale Gases: Asian Countries to Expand at the Fastest Rate

Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a significant rate in the oilfield chemicals market in 2023. Industry expansion is responsible for the region’s fast urbanization, population growth, and increased demand for shale gas from a variety of businesses. Growing exploration efforts in Southeast Asian nations, India, Mainland China, and the South China Sea are the primary drivers of the regional market expansion. Asia Pacific is at the forefront of economic development due to the rising demand for petroleum and crude oil, as well as massive investments in the energy industry.

By 2045, it is anticipated that India’s oil consumption will have doubled to 11 million barrels per day. By 2029–2030, the demand for diesel in India is predicted to quadruple to 163 MT, and by 2045, 58% of the country’s oil needs will be met by gasoline and diesel. ​With India’s GDP predicted to reach US$ 8.6 trillion by 2040, primary energy consumption is predicted to almost double to 1,123 million tonnes of oil equivalent, according to the IEA (India Energy Outlook 2021).

In the past ten years, India's refining capacity has grown from 215.1 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) to 256.8 MMTPA. By 2028, it is anticipated to rise to 309.5 MMTPA. India is predicted to be one of the main drivers of the increase in non-OECD petroleum consumption worldwide. Between fiscal years 2013–14 and 2023–24, the consumption of petroleum products grew from 158.4 million metric tons (MMT) to 234.3 MMT.

Oilfield Chemicals Market Segmentation Analysis

By Product Analysis:

The biocides segment held the largest share of the oilfield chemicals market in 2023 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. A family of chemical compounds known as oilfield biocides has been developed especially to control and eliminate the growth of microorganisms in oil and gas production systems. Because they efficiently control microbial populations and mitigate associated issues, biocides are essential to oilfield chemical treatments.

By Application Analysis:

The workover & completion segment dominated the oilfield chemicals market in 2023. Workover fluid is a type of workover fluid that is used to stimulate or repair an existing production well in order to restore, extend, or improve hydrocarbon output. A solids-free fluid called completion fluid is used to "complete" an oil or gas well. The production chemicals segment is estimated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. From cementing wells to maximizing high-performance drilling, among other things, oilfield production chemicals are crucial to the oilfield industry.

By location Analysis:

The onshore segment held the largest share of the oilfield chemicals market in 2023. Oilfield chemicals, such as corrosion inhibitors and demulsifiers, are commonly used in onshore oil and gas operations because they rapidly separate water from crude oil, reducing the cost of subsequent water treatment steps. As more onshore oil and gas projects are being developed worldwide, there is an increasing demand for oil field chemicals.
