Oilfield chemicals play a very important role in the petroleum industry and are known as "oilfield doctors". Oilfield chemicals are used in all processes of petroleum exploration, d
rilling Auxiliaries,
Tertiary Oil Recovery Aids, water injection, storage and transportation, oil refining, etc., which play an important role in oil exploitation, oil refining and chemical industry, reducing cost, improving recovery and protecting environment. The research and development and production of high quality oilfield chemicals will play a very important role in reducing the cost and improving the efficiency of oil exploitation and green development.
Oilfield chemicals, also known as oilfield chemicals, refer to the chemicals used in the process of oilfield drilling, completion, oil recovery, water injection, enhanced oil recovery and gathering and transportation. There are many types of oilfield chemicals and many classification methods. According to the code standard of oilfield chemicals used in China's oil and gas industry, oilfield chemicals can be divided into six categories: general chemicals, drilling chemicals, oil and gas exploitation chemicals, oil and gas gathering and transportation chemicals and water treatment chemicals.
Oilfield chemical industry analysis
Oilfield chemicals are a new class of fine chemical products gradually formed with the development of industry since the 1970s, involving all aspects of oil and gas exploration and development such as drilling and completion, reservoir reconstruction, oil production, oil and gas gathering and transportation, and oil field water treatment. Oilfield auxiliaries are essential materials to ensure the normal development of oil and gas exploration and development. The research and development and production of high-performance oilfield auxiliaries are of great significance to promote the high-quality development of the petroleum industry.
As the oil and gas industry expands, exploration and production activities increase, and drilling technology advances, the oilfield chemicals market has continued to grow in recent years, with the global oilfield chemicals market reaching $29.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to exceed $43 billion by 2027.
Drilling chemicals are the most valuable chemicals in the oil field. In particular, with the commercial development of shale gas in North America, sales of drilling chemicals have increased as a percentage of all oilfield chemicals. Drilling chemicals mainly refer to drilling fluid chemicals and cement admixtures. The market sales of drilling fluid chemicals account for nearly 20% of the sales of drilling chemicals, and cement admixtures account for about 80%.
Chemicals used in oil recovery are generally divided into acidification, fracturing, and EOR chemicals. In order to solve the gathering and transportation problems in oil Wells, treatment stations and pipelines, it is necessary to use different types of surfactants, oil-soluble polymers, special solvents, etc. The main chemicals used in gathering and transportation are demulsifier, anti-wax agent, corrosion inhibitor, viscosity reducer, etc.
The development of oilfield chemicals focuses on the research of surfactants and new polymers, which can be divided into drilling chemicals, oil production chemicals, enhanced recovery chemicals, oil and gas gathering and water treatment chemicals and oil and gas field extraction waste treatment agents.
China's new field of fine chemical industry has formed feed additives, food and pharmaceutical additives, leather chemicals, paper chemicals, oilfield chemicals, electronic chemicals and other more than 10 categories.
Application status and development trend analysis of oilfield chemicals
Commonly used oilfield chemicals include: drilling chemicals, cementing chemicals, oil production chemicals, gathering and transportation chemicals and sewage treatment chemicals, etc. With the rapid development of modern oilfield industry high and new technology, the performance and quality of oilfield chemicals have been put forward more and more high requirements, and the industry has developed very fast.
Major players in the global oilfield chemicals market include Solvay, Halliburton, Schlumberger, Lubrizol, Ecolab, Alpels, Norion, BASF, Baker Hughes, New Park Resources, and others.
According to the research report "2023-2027 China Oilfield chemical industry Panorama survey and development strategy research Consulting Report" analysis
Oilfield chemicals as a field of fine chemical industry, with the rapid development of modern oilfield industry high-tech, the performance and quality of oilfield chemicals put forward higher and higher requirements, the industry is developing very fast.
The growth of oilfield chemical demand is mainly driven by oil well drilling and enhanced oil recovery, which will grow at an average annual rate of 9.7% and 6.5%, respectively. This shows that the global oilfield chemicals market demand is growing strongly.
