Increasing Demand from Emerging Regions Continue to Boost the Oilfield Surfactants Market revenue

Oilfield Surfactants are important type of oil field speciality chemicals that are utilized in oil extraction, transportation and refining processes for augmenting the recovery process of petrochemicals from the wells.

Oilfield Surfactants are important type of oil field speciality chemicals that are utilized in oil extraction, transportation and refining processes for augmenting the recovery process of petrochemicals from the wells. The market for oilfield surfactants has been broadly classified into several segments based on product type, substrate and its applications. Owing their chemical properties oilfield surfactants act as emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, lubricants, wetting and suspending agents, foam control agents, dispersants and biocides. The report provides detailed account of key oil filed surfactant types such as anionic, non-anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and others depending on their dissociation in water.

The increase in energy demand over the last decade propelled by economic development in developing regions has increased output of oil and gas extraction. This has resulted in growing demand for oil field chemicals used in exploration, extraction and refining process. Booming crude oil production to cater the growing oil demand from emerging economies is the major driver for oil field surfactants. Growing interest in bio-based oil surfactants is set to propel market growth of this niche category. Environmental concerns and decreasing oil prices might restrain oil production refraining market growth. The IndustryARC estimates that the market value for oilfield surfactants will advance from $853m in 2014 to $1.1 billion by 2020 with a CAGR of 5.5%.

The anionic surfactants are the dominant type. The amphoteric surfactants are best used for corrosion inhibition and are used in enhanced oil recovery technology such as steam flooding. Each of these types is further divided in to subtypes as well. The oilfield surfactants market is analysed based on type of substrates including synthetic and bio-based oilfield surfactants. Due to the growing environmental awareness the demand for bio-based oil field surfactants is witnessing rapid gains outpacing synthetic substrate types.
