Global Fracking Chemicals Market is anticipated to relish a staggering growth in the forecast period due to increasing shale exploration and exploitation activities by oil and gas producing majors. The market is growing by leaps and bounds due to emerging demand for shale gas from developing countries. In recent years, there has been a surge in drilling activities of Wild Cat exploratory wells at oil and gas prospective regions. Fracking fluids are a necessity to extract hydrocarbons from tight reservoir fields.
Fracking chemicals are well known for tapping hydrocarbon potential from tight oil-bearing formations beneath the underground. Due to vast amount of hydrocarbon present in the tight conventional oil and gas reservoirs, it becomes important to harness the energy of this huge volume of hydrocarbon accumulated using Unconventional Hydrocarbon extraction technique like Hydraulic Fracturing. This, consequently, requires huge amount of fracking fluids and other chemical additives to aid in the fluidity of petroleum deposits from underground to the surface driving the demand of fracking chemicals.
Rising Fracking Activities and Technological Advancements
Unconventional wells encounter a major challenge like fluid transmissibility with ease when drilled using water-based and oil-based mud. So, they need techniques other than usual trivial methods via which tight formations can be easily exploited. This is where Fracking process comes into the picture. Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking is an emerging technique where oil is taken out from tight and fine-grained source rocks. Increase in Hydraulic fracturing activities has led to surge in the demand for Fracking chemicals over the forecast period.
Growing Energy Demand from Developing Economies
According to BP Statistical Review of World Energy, the primary energy demand across the globe has increased by 5.8%, in 2021, while consumption of fossil fuel remained at same levels as compared to the historic years which is accounted for the growth of commodity trade market over the forecast period.
Lower Energy Costs and Greater Hydrocarbon Output
Shale gas exploration is required to meet the rising energy demand, which raises the requirement for chemicals and fracking fluids. Compared to vertical drilling, horizontal drilling has a smaller adverse environmental impact. Oil and gas companies can extract the same amounts of oil and gas using a horizontal well as opposed to drilling a dozen or more vertical wells. Switching from vertical drilling to horizontal drilling raises the net income of oil operators due to enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, resulting in lower cost transfer to energy consumers.
