Report Description
The specialty oilfield chemicals market is a multi-million market, which includes a wide array of specialty chemicals employed for a
broad range of purposes. The major products offered within this market encompass industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals,
specialty advanced polymers, pesticides, and construction chemicals among several others. The main purpose of specialty oilfield
chemicals is to improve the recovery of oil from the oil-well. These chemicals are utilized during various processes involved in oil
recovery from the oilfield such as drilling, exploration, production and maintenance.
Applications for specialty oilfield chemicals include corrosion inhibition, scale inhibition, pest control, demulsification, foam control
agents, emulsifying agents, gelling agents, friction reduction, fracking agents, anti-freeze agents, dispersing agents, etc. These
chemicals are used in oilfield functions such as in drilling fluids, well stimulation, oil production, well cementing, oil recovery, work-
over and completion. Most chemicals are used for specific purposes throughout the production lifecycle of an oilfield. However,
certain chemicals solve more than one purpose, especially surfactant chemicals. Alternately, more than one chemical can be used for a
specific function in oilfield applications.

Most of the specialty oilfield chemicals in use today are of synthetic origin. Synthetic chemicals are preferred owing to lower prices,
steady availability and customizability. However, there are natural substitutes as well for several synthetic based specialty oilfield
chemicals. The natural based chemicals such as guar gum are costlier and limited by seasonal supply. Additionally, farmers as well as
governments across the world prefer food crops over such cash crops over lingering food security concerns amongst rapidly growing
world population.
Global Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market: Trends and Prospects
The global specialty oilfield chemicals market is primarily driven by the high demand for energy production. Oil is the basic fuel
source across the world for most industrial and many domestic activities. Additionally, the current shale gas revolution is expected to
further boost demand for specialty oilfield chemicals globally. However, stringent regulations against chemicals potentially harmful
for the environment and costly disposal procedures for chemicals after use are anticipated to hinder market growth. Development of
new environment friendly products and solutions that comply with regulations laid down by global and regional regulatory authorities
might present prospective opportunities for further demand growth.
