"Drilling Fluids (Oil-Based Fluids, Synthetic-Based Fluids and Water-Based Fluids) for Oil and
Gas (Offshore & Onshore) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global market for drilling fluids was valued at USD 7.20
billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 12.31 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of
8% from 2012 to 2018.
Depleting onshore reserves have prompted the industry to shift focus towards developing
deep sea reserves, which increases the overall cost of wells and in turn generates more
revenue for drilling fluid manufacturers. This trend is expected to drive the global demand
for drilling fluids over the forecast period. Increasing exploration of shale gas, coal bed
methane (CBM) and other unconventional resources promotes the use of horizontal drilling,
which is also expected to boost market revenue for drilling fluids. However, growing
environmental concerns regarding the use and disposal of drilling fluids coupled with
geopolitical issues in key oil producers in the Middle East is expected to hinder the market
growth over the forecast period.

2. The successful implementation of nanotechnology in various industries has prompted
industry participants to apply nanotechnology in the oil and gas industry. Major companies
such as MI-SWACO (a Schlumberger company), Newpark Drilling Fluids, and Halliburton
among others, have been investing heavilyin developing drilling fluids using
nanotechnology.
WBFs (Water Based Fluids) emerged as the leading drilling fluid product consumed
worldwide and accounted for more than 55% of the total market in 2012. WBFs are
considered to have minimum toxicity among drilling fluids and are extensively used for
offshore drilling. Along with being the largest product segment, WBFs are also expected to
be the fastest growing segment, at an estimated CAGR of 8.5% from 2012 to 2018. OBFs
(Oil Based Fluids) on the other hand operate efficiently but carry the maximum risk of
causing environmental hazards owing to which the industry is shifting focus towards SBFs
(Synthetic-Based Fluids) which has both OBF and WBF like attributes.
Onshore oil and gas consumed most of the drilling fluids and accounted for over 70% of the
total market in 2012. The increasing onshore drilling activities in the Middle East, North
America and Asia Pacific are expected to boost the demand for drilling fluids in onshore
reserves. Growing investments in the "Golden Triangle" (Gulf of Mexico, offshore Brazil and
offshore West Africa) on account of the presence of extensive natural resources is expected
to drive the market for drilling fluids required in offshore oil and gas exploration and
production.
North America continues to be the leading market for drilling fluids and accounted for over
55% of the global market in 2012. Growing exploration of shale gas in U.S. and Canada is
expected to drive the market for drilling fluids over the forecast period. Central and South
America is expected to be the fastest growing market for drilling fluids at a CAGR of 9.5%
from 2012 to 2018. Enhanced drilling activity in offshore Brazil and Venezuela is anticipated
to drive the market for drilling fluids in the region. Governmental support in the form of tax
holidays and subsidies to E&P companies in order to encourage oil and gas production in
India and China is expected to boost the drilling fluids market in Asia Pacific.
The global market for drilling fluids is highly concentrated as the top four companies
together accounted for over 65% of the total market in 2012. Some of the major companies
operating in the global market include Anchor Drilling, Baker Hughes, Canadian Energy
Services, China Oilfield Services Limited, Halliburton, Newpark Drilling Fluids, Schlumberger
and Weatherford International among others.
