Market overview

Drilling and completion fluids have their major application in the exploration of oil. Drilling fluids are actually used for drilling the well to control the pressure, removing cuttings from the wellbore, transmitting hydraulic energy, sealing permeable formations encountered while drilling. These fluids are used during the completion of oil and gas wells to improve the productivity by reducing the damage control.

Drilling and completion fluids market to reach USD 17.65 Billion, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030, due to increasing investments in oil exploration activities.

The global pandemic Covid 19 has resulted in a decrease in demand for oil and petrochemical production stopped commercial and industrial activities all over the world after the government-imposed lockdowns and shutdowns. This affected the drilling and completion fluids market negatively. According to OECD, during the lockdown, the war for the price of crude oil started due to extensive supply and less demand. This factor resulted in the slow growth of the drilling and completion fluid market. The key players that are operating the drilling and completion fluids market are Baker Hughes Incorporated, Halliburton; New Park resources Inc, National Oilwell Varco(NOV INC), Schlumberger Limited, Scomi Group Bhd, Secure Energy, Tetra Technologies, Trican Well Service Ltd., and Weatherford International Plc.
