production in the country. This combination technology of directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing allows
the oil and gas reservoirs to be punctured directionally or horizontally alongside the foundation of targeted
rocks, giving exposure to the rock formation bearing oil and gas in the production well, which is expected to
drive the growth for this market over the forecast period.

The hydraulic fracturing segment dominated the market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its
dominant position over the forecast period owing to the use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal
drilling activities in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Oil & gas industry recently has been
experiencing a decline in the production rates from the present conventional reservoirs. In order to
meet the demand for energy resources the industry participants are focusing on the development of
unconventional oil & gas reserves by using various technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and other
methods.
The use of hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas extraction increases the yield of the resource from the
well owing to which this widely used and is expected to grow over the forecast period. When hydraulic
fracturing is used in combination with horizontal drilling, non-yielding wells and nonprofit rock
formations are frequently rehabilitated into productive fields which yield a good amount of natural gas.
The technology is majorly responsible for the growth and development of shale gas fields in the U.S.
such as the Haynesville Shale, Barnett Shale, Marcellus Shale, and Fayetteville Shale gas fields. It has
also been employed in yielding gas from tight rock units such as Niobrara Shale and Bakken Shale.
The various process chemicals used during the employment of hydraulic fracturing technology is a
huge cause of concern to the environmental activists in the natural gas industry. A regulatory
environment is obligatory while commissioning these techniques where drilling occurs to ensure the
environmental safety and protection of water supplies and people living in the zones.
