Drilling Fluids Market Size To Expand at a Notable CAGR Of 7.03% During 2018 - 2023

Pune, India, January 2019/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Drilling Fluids Market.

Market Analysis

The global drilling fluids market is valued at USD 13,454.5 million, which is projected for the foreseen year 2023 at a registered CAGR of 7.03%. The drilling fluids are now popular since an increase in oil and gas activities across the globe. Drilling fluids are reliable and play a vital role in the exploration process which is created by a mixture of water, oil, clay & several chemicals to maintain cooling of the drill, lubrication of its teeth, maintain stability in the drilling operation and reduction of stucking of drill pipes.

Factors Driving the Global Drilling Fluids Market

The desire to increase energy consumption from various industries such as power, transportation and manufacturing coupling with increased drilling activities in hydrocarbon production has ignited the growth of the global drilling fluids market till 2023. The global drilling fluids market is all set to achieve unprecedented valuation due to drilling activities on the offshore reserve along with the exploration of non-conventional shale gas reserves. These will fuel the demand for drilling fluids in the foreseen years.

The developing global drilling fluids market has also seen an incredible rise due to less CapEx and increasing investments in onshore activities and a little collapse in prices if crude oil and gas during 2014-2016. Some of the leading companies in the market are continuously engaged in designing and planning for drilling fluids as per increasing demands. This has led the market garner more and more investments to cover the decline of market share.

In drilling fluid industry, there are various types of drilling fluids that are utilized in offshore and onshore oil and gas exploration. These are oil-based fluids, water-based fluids, non-aqueous fluids, synthetic fluids, and others. Of these, water-based fluids are widely preferred for usage, which certainly holds the market to grow. Due to minimum toxicity level, these liquids are extensively utilized for offshore drilling activities. Recently, the trend has shifted towards the usage of synthetic fluids over oil-based fluids due to high risk of environmental hazards and affecting flora and fauna in significant ways.Browse Complete Report @ https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/drilling-fluids-market-4329
