Oilfield Stimulation Chemicals Market by Types (Gelling Agents, Surfactants, Friction reducers, Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors, Acids), by Application(Hydraulic Fracturing, Matrix Acidization, Acid Fracking) & by region - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2020
Oilfield stimulation is the process undertaken for the recovery and improving the flow of hydrocarbons from drilling well. With the development of new technologies and innovative chemicals, stimulation has now become an easy process. Oilfield stimulation chemicals find majority of its applications in hydraulic fracturing, matrix acidization, acid fracking, and other processes. These processes include steam injection, CO2 injection, and so on. Oilfield stimulation chemicals market can be classified into gelling agents, friction reducers, surfactants, corrosion & scale inhibitors, acids, and others such as biocides and cross linkers.
North America is projected to remain the largest regional market for oilfield chemicals, globally. However, the Asia-Pacific region, led by China, is likely to overtake North America as the fastest-growing market. China’s massive demand for energy will continue to drive the country’s exploration activities and development of its huge unconventional energy resource, especially natural gas.

Oilfield stimulation is the process of improving the oil wells for the purpose of increasing oil production and enhancing the flow of hydrocarbons. Chemicals used in the process of well intervention are oilfield stimulation chemicals.
The production of crude oil is driving the consumption of oilfields stimulation chemicals market, globally. Rise in the drilling of deeper wells is also one of the key reasons for the growth of the market. Growing demand for well stimulation processes offers great push to the oilfield stimulation chemicals market. It offers a wide range of opportunities to chemical suppliers as well as formulated oilfield chemical suppliers. Regulations related to the protection of surface water and ground water during seismic testing is hindering the growth of the oilfield services market. The oilfield operations of existing wells have now become difficult due to the introduction of these new and stringent policies. The limited exploration activity is mainly due to the difficulty and the time length required for issuing licenses and the necessary authorization for stimulating.
The market size of oilfield stimulation chemicals is projected to reach $2.97 Billion by 2020, signifying a firm annualized growth rate of 10.1% between 2015 and 2020.
Global oil field stimulation chemicals have been segmented on the basis of applications (hydraulic fracturing, matrix acidization, acid fracking, and others), types (gelling agents, surfactants, friction reducers, corrosion & scale inhibitors, acids, and others) and regions (North America, Commonwealth of Independent States, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and RoW).
Hydraulic fracturing covers the major percent of the overall application market owing to the exploration of shale gas reserves. It is also estimated to be the fastest-growing application segment during the projected period. The gelling agents type was the largest market among the various types of stimulation chemicals in 2014. The friction reducers type is estimated to be the fastest-growing type between 2015 and 2020 as it is used in hydraulic fracturing, which is the largest and fastest-growing application segment. Currently, North America is the biggest market, accounting for nearly 50% of the total market size, in terms of value, in 2014. North America’s hold on the oilfield stimulation chemicals market is mainly due to the large exploration of unconventional oil & gas reserves. Among all the countries, the U.S. dominates the market. Asia-Pacific is believed to be the fastest-growing region during the projected period due to China’s interest in shale gas exploration. Regions, such as Former Soviet Union, Africa, are expected to witness decent growth during the projected period.
The leading players of the oilfield stimulation chemicals market include BASF SE (Germany), Chevron Philips (U.S.), E.I. Dupont(U.S.), Clariant AG, Dow Chemical (U.S.) and Ashland Inc. (U.S.). Clariant Oil Services, a business unit of Clariant International Ltd., adopted the strategy of launching new products that include a full line of corrosion inhibitors, hydrogen sulfide scavengers, degreasers, dispersants, surfactants, pipeline cleaners, and hydrostatic testing applications. The company developed and introduced this new portfolio to meet the midstream segment's increasing demands and growing challenges in the oil & gas industry.Rise in the number of deep drilling activities and crude oil production is driving the oil field stimulation markets.
