Drilling Fluids Market: By Products, By Application Type and Geography    

Drilling Fluids Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Products (Oil Based Fluid, Water Based Fluids, Synthetic Fluids, Others), By Application Type (Onshore, Offshore) and Region    

Drilling Fluids Market size was valued at US$ 10 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2023-2029. This report studies global market dynamics elaborately to identify the current market trends and drivers, future opportunities and possible challenges to the key stakeholders operating in the market. In addition, global market report includes competition analysis with vividly illustrated the competition dashboard to assess the market competition. Moreover, PBI analyzed global market to better equip clients with possible investment opportunities across the regions and market unmet needs (Product Opportunities). Furthermore, corporations have invested heavily in research and development to develop bio-based drilling fluids generated from vegetable oils. Water-based drilling fluids are becoming more popular as environmental worries about the adverse impacts of utilising oil-based fluids grow. Over the projection period, rising environmental, healthcare, and safety concerns over mud discharge and cuttings disposal are projected to stymie market expansion. As a result, manufacturing businesses are refocusing their efforts on developing innovative nanotechnology-based solutions to address technological and environmental concerns. Because of the cost-effectiveness and lesser environmental impact of the discharged cuttings and mud, these fluids are expected to see increased penetration and growth rates. Over the projection period, demand for water-based fluids is expected to be driven by a growing focus on enhancing the inhibitive and thermal performance of water-based systems in order to compete with non-aqueous fluids used for demanding applications such as offshore and onshore shelf activities.

Drilling Fluids Market Key Developments:

  • In May 2022, Invictus Energy signed a binding well services contract with Baker Hughes for drilling in Zimbabwe, following a capital raise.
