LONDON, October 25, 2011 -

www.visiongain.com/Report/705/The-Oilfield-Chemicals-Market-2011-2021

Visiongain’s The Oilfield Chemicals Market 2011-2021 report details the prospects for this dynamic energy sector with detailed forecasts from 2011-2021. Oilfield chemicals are essential for improved field operations and to enhance the results of drilling, completion, stimulation, production and improve oil recovery. The market for oilfield chemicals is gaining strength as oil recovery from existing fields faces challenges of peak oil and enhanced chemical recovery is required to achieve maximum output. It is also becoming difficult to recover oil from new oil and gas fields most of which lie in remote and hostile environments where extraction relies solely on drilling fluids. Visiongain’s The Oilfield Chemicals Market 2011-2021 report calculates the global oilfield chemicals market will reach $17.65bn in 2011.

There is an escalating emphasis on the production of unconventional crude oil such as heavy crudes produced from Alberta’s oil sands and Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt because light sweet crude oil is in short supply. Production of these heavier crudes often requires greater use of corrosion inhibitors, emulsion breakers and other chemicals. A combination of high oil prices, the need to extract more technologically challenging hydrocarbon geologies, and the requirement of more efficient extraction are boosting interest in the oilfield chemicals market. Over the forecast period there is likely to be strong growth in the oilfield chemicals market as a number of countries look to produce from challenging oil geologies and more efficiently from conventional wells.

Though the industry will be faced with the restraints of proving the effectiveness of some new chemicals, overcoming environmental concerns, and confronting a weak global economy, the oilfield chemicals market is likely to provide substantial opportunities for potential investors.
