Dublin, July 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jwjgk3/fracking)
has announced the addition of the "Global
Fracking Chemicals and Fluid Market Opportunities & Forecasts
2014-2018" report to their offering.
The global fracking (hydraulic fracturing) fluids market is
likely to witness a CAGR of 9.6% from 2013 to 2018.
North America is the largest market for fracking fluids and
chemicals, followed by Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, the
Middle East and Africa.
The fracking fluids market includes the major types of fluid base
used such as Water-based, Gelled Oil-based, and Foam-based. The
fracking
chemicals include Acids, Biocide, Breaker, Clay Stabilizer,
Corrosion Inhibitor, Cross-linker, Friction Reducer, Gelling Agent,
Iron Control, pH Adjusting Agent, Scale Inhibitors, and Surfactant.
This report on fracking chemicals and fluids cover market trends
and estimates for all type of chemicals and fluids. The fracking
fluids are also separated by the type of well i.e. horizontal and
vertical.
The trends in drilling have been changing from vertical to
horizontal as the unconventional reserves are being developed. The
unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale gas require
horizontal drilling to cover a larger surface area, increasing the
rate of production of gas. The horizontal wells require more amount
of fracking fluids and chemicals when compared to vertical wells.
These increasing trends in horizontal drilling in unconventional
reserves will in turn drive the demand of fracking fluids and
chemicals.
This market has experienced backward integration of the fracking
companies into the production of fracking chemicals and fluids.
Apart from the hydraulic fracturing companies, the chemicals
companies have set up separate departments for the development of
oilfield chemicals that work to manufacture the fluids and
chemicals with the desired properties.
This report on fracking chemicals and fluids segments the fracking
fluids by fluid type, well type and geography in terms of revenue
generated and fracking chemicals by functional group and geography
in terms of volume and revenue.
This report analyzes the various marketing trends and establishes
the most effective growth strategy in the market. It identifies
market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, burning
issues, and winning imperatives.
Major companies such as Baker Hughes (U.S.), Chevron Phillips
Chemical (U.S.), Halliburton (U.S.), Linde (Germany), Schlumberger
(U.S.), Weatherford (Switzerland), Calfrac Well Services (Canada),
FTS International (U.S.), Trican Well Services (Canada), BASF
