Drilling fluids, also known as drilling mud, are extensively used during drilling oil and natural gas wells.
These fluids facilitate the drilling process by controlling pressure, suspending cuttings, providing buoyancy,
stabilizing exposed rock, and lubricating and cooling.
Rise in oil drilling activities and focus towards deep sea reserves have propelled the growth of the global
drilling fluids market. The increasing exploration of shale gas, coal bed methane, and other unconventional
resources, along with the implementation of horizontal drilling, will further augment the growth of the
market during the forecast period. However, the growing concerns regarding the environmental impact of
drilling fluids, especially oil based fluids, will hamper the market’s growth. The emergence of
nanotechnology for developing drilling fluids will open new opportunities for the growth of the market in
the near future.
On the basis of product type, the report segments the global drilling fluids market into synthetic based
fluids (SBFs), oil based fluids (OBFs), and water based fluids (WBFs). In 2012, water based fluids emerged
as the leading product segment with 55% market share. Owing to their minimum toxicity, WBFs are widely
used for offshore drilling. During the forecast horizon, the WBF segment is estimated to register a CAGR of
8.5%. While OBFs operate efficiently, they carry the maximum risk of environmental hazards. Hence, the
demand for SBFs is expected to surge in the near future. SBFs contain attributes of both WBFs and OBFs.
The report studies the global drilling fluids market across Europe, North America, the Middle East and
Africa, and Asia Pacific. In 2012, North America was the leading region in the market and accounted for
over 55% of the market. The growing exploration of shale gas across Canada and the U.S. is anticipated to
drive the demand from this regional market in the coming years. During the forecast horizon, Central and
South America is projected to register the fastest growth in the market at a CAGR of 9.5% due to enhanced
drilling activities in offshore of Venezuela and Brazil. In China and India, government support in the form of
tax subsidies to E&P companies will encourage oil and gas production, thereby fuelling the demand for
drilling fluids.
Describing the competitive hierarchy, the report profiles some of the key players in the global drilling fluids
market such as Baker Hughes, Anchor Drilling, Canadian Energy Services, Halliburton, China Oilfield
