Drilling Fluids are Essential for Drilling Operations

Drilling fluids play a crucial role in oil and gas exploration activities. These fluids are a mixture of water, oil, clay, and several chemicals. Drilling fluids are also known as drilling muds. These fluids perform numerous functions such as cooling the drill bit and lubricate its teeth, carrying the drill cutting to the surface, and reducing the drill pipe stuck problems. The mud maintains hydrostatic pressure to prevent the formation of fluids from entering the wellbore. Newly developed state-of-the-art drilling fluids treatments offer superior drilling performance. Rise in the Marcellus and Bakken shale oil & gas formation in the U.S. and other countries such as Argentina and China has propelled the demand for drilling fluids.

Shift from Oil Based Muds to Water-based Muds

Several governments have imposed environmental regulations on the usage of oil based muds, as these are harmful while drilling. Water-based muds contains fresh water, seawater, brine, saturated brine, or a formate brine. This type of mud contains commercial bentonite or attapulgite. Water-based muds are widely used and less expensive than oil-based muds and synthetic-based muds. Water-based mud maintains hydrostatic pressure to prevent fluids formation from entering into the wellbore. Improvements in drilling technology has propelled the demand for synthetic-based muds.

Offshore Drilling Activities to Increase Demand for Drilling Fluids

Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed. It is typically carried for the exploration and extraction of petroleum, which lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. Based on application, the offshore segment is anticipated account for a large share of the market due to the rise in crude oil prices globally. This is estimated to boost the drilling fluids market in the near future. Rise in drilling operations in the offshore areas such as Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, and South China Sea propels the demand for drilling fluids.

Regulatory Framework & Environmental Regulations

Several governments have implemented environmental norms and regulatory framework to curb environmental pollution caused due to the harmful effects of oil based muds. Regulation such as Environmental Guidelines and Standards the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria (EGASPIN) has been framed to regulate drilling fluids. The framework limits the use of water-based muds to be discharged into fresh water, coastal water, and offshore areas of operation. After the Deepwater Horizon incident that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, the European Commission (EC) renewed the regulatory framework in Europe for the usage of drilling fluids.

The U.S. to Lead Drilling Fluids Market in North America

In terms of value, North America dominated the global drilling fluids market in 2017. Rise in investments in exploration and production of offshore oil & gas is propelling the adoption of drilling fluids around the world. Rise in upstream activities by the oil & gas industry is expected to increase the production volumes, thereby propelling the global drilling fluids market. Prices of natural gas have been increasing at a steady pace across the globe since the beginning of 2018, and offshore and onshore exploration and production activities have increased at a rapid pace. Demand for the drilling fluids is anticipated to increase in areas such as Marcellus and Bakken field in the U.S.

High-performance Anti-corrosion Coatings Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2024

Wood Adhesives and Binders Market to Perceive Substantial Growth During 2020 The competitive landscape of global wood adhesive and binders market is fragmented, as only tope four players are responsible for 36% of the total market, as analyzed by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As the market requires huge amount of capital and significant high setup cost some of the key players play a noticeable role. Henkel AG, Dow Chemical Company, 3M Company and Co., KGaA, HB Fuller, and 3M Company are some of the key players analyzed in the report. The global wood adhesive and binders market is consolidated due to the high cost involved to customize products by using innovative technologies. The competition is also fierce due to limited number of players competing against each other. Although new player with strong financial support will pave their way in bio based adhesive formulations. Read Report Overview @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/wood-adhesives-binders-market.html As per the analysis done by the TMR authors, the global wood adhesive and binders market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 17.7 bn by the end of the forecast period in 2020. The CAGR is projected to expand at 4.4% between 2014 to 2020. The furniture and subcomponents segment under the application category is estimated to lead the market by attaining 5% CAGR during the forecast period. As per geography, North America leads the global market. The region is witness larger consumption of wood adhesive and binders market in the recent past. Increasing Demand in Construction Industry Could Boost the Market Wood adhesive and binders have a significant role in making cabinets, windows, doors, flooring, plywood, and various other structural panels. The use of wood adhesive and binders is widely seen in furniture and construction areas. As the construction market is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2016 to 2020, which will significantly boost the demand for wood adhesive and binders during the same period. Rising population in emerging nations, require residential facilities thus propelling the construction and infrastructure market, which will further boost the demand for wood adhesive and binders market. Asia Pacific being the major region where building and construction industry have significantly growing 2015 to 2020. Environmental Concerns May Restrain the Wood Adhesive and Binders Market to Grow at its Full Potential Petroleum based feedstock like vinyl, styrene butadiene, urea, acetate, phenols, acrylates, and polyurethanes helps in manufacturing wood adhesive and binders. As these petroleum feedstock’s are highly dependent on crude oil, even a minute fluctuation in the crude oil prices affects the raw material required to manufacture wood adhesive and binders.
