1. Global Drilling Fluids Market Analysis By Product (OBF,
SBF, WBF) By Application (Offshore, Onshore) Expected to
Reach USD 14.92 Billion by 2020: Grand View Research, Inc
The global market for drilling fluids is expected to reach USD 14.92 billion by 2020, according
to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing drilling activities mainly in South
America and Asia Pacific is expected to drive the market for drilling fluids. Grand View
Research also observes that depleting natural has been prompting industry players to shift their
focus towards exploring and developing unconventional gas reserves which promotes the use of
horizontal drilling and is expected to translate into enhanced fluid demand.
Water based fluids (WBF) were the most consumed drilling fluids around the world and
accounted for 56% of the total market revenue in 2013. WBFs are also expected to be the fastest
growing drilling fluid products, at an estimated CAGR of 8.8% from 2014 to 2020. WBFs were
followed by oil-based fluids (OBF) which accounted for just over 30% of the total market for the
same year. However, the growing environmental concerns regarding the use of OBFs in drilling
activities is expected to hamper its market growth over the forecast period.

Further key findings from the study suggest:
 The global market for drilling fluids was estimated to be USD 8.16 billion in 2013, and is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2014 to 2020.
 North America continued its dominance in the global market and accounted for 55.5% of
total market revenue in 2013. However, increasing drilling activities in Latin America
and Asia Pacific is expected to boost the demand for drilling fluids in these two regions
over the next six years. The demand for drilling fluids in Central and South America is
expected to grow at an estimated CAGR of 10.3% from 2014 to 2020.
 Drilling fluids are majorly used for onshore oil & gas drilling owing to large number of
onshore oil and gas reserves around the world. Onshore oil & gas accounted for 71.6% of
total market revenue in 2013. Increasing deep sea drilling activities in Gulf of Mexico,
Brazil offshore and West Africa is expected to boost the demand for drilling fluids in
offshore applications.
 The global market for drilling fluids is highly concentrated as top four companies
including Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Newpark accounted for over
70% of the total market in 2013. Weatherford International, Tetra Tech, Canadian Energy
Services, China Oilfield and Anchor Drilling were amongst other significant market
participants.
