Introduction
Drilling fluid is a mixture of chemicals that is distributed throughout the wellbore.
Drilling fluid formulates a critical constituent of drilling system as it equilibriums the hydrostatic force of well, gets the cutting from the end of hole to the surface, and lubricates the drill bit. The careful optimization and monitoring of drilling fluid is very grave in decreasing the non-performance drilling time, therefore making oil and gas well drilling cost-effective. The corporations are concentrating on evolving drilling fluid support system. The drilling fluid support system comprises software which has preloaded algorithms that permits imitation of drilling fluid for diverse conditions of well bore.
Market Dynamics
Increase in oil and gas exploration activities and drilling of unconventional hydrocarbon reserves are majorly driving the growth of this market. In addition, development of drilling fluids for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) and ultra-deep wells coupled with development of drilling fluid support system are also contributing to the growth of this market. Impact of drilling fluid on environment and stringent government regulation are impeding the growth of this market. Reuse of drilling fluids and reduction of non-production time are the key trends in global drilling fluids market. In addition, the development of biodegradable fluids and development of advanced drilling fluid additives are expected to propel the growth of this market.
On the basis of type, in 2016, the water-based drilling fluid was the largest segment as it is an economical option over other drilling fluids. In addition, the fastest growing segment throughout the forecast period was non-aqueous fluids. The superior thermal stability of non-aqueous fluids is expected to drive the growth of drilling fluids in upcoming period. By geography, North America dominated the drilling fluid market and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The increasing drilling activities and shale boom in Gulf of Mexico will surge the trade of drilling fluids in the region. In 2016, the second largest share was accounted by Middle East and Africa in global drilling fluid market as chief oil and gas manufacturing countries are located in this region.
