The report, titled ‘Drilling Fluids Market (Oil-Based Fluids, Synthetic-Based Fluids and Water-Based Fluids) for Oil and Gas (Offshore & Onshore) - Global Industry Analysis, Size Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 – 2018’, also determines that the worldwide market for drilling fluids will grow at an 8% CAGR during 2012-2018.

Accounting for more than 55% of the overall market, North America dominated the global drilling fluids industry in 2012 and is expected to continue leading the way during the forecast period. Increased shale gas exploration in Canada and the U.S. is the driving force behind the region’s remarkable performance in the drilling fluids market. On the other hand, favorable conditions in Central and South America from 2012 to 2018 are expected to make this segment the fastest-growing regional market for drilling fluids. Experts predict that the Central and South American market will grow at a CAGR of 9.5% during the given period owing to increased drilling activities in offshore Venezuela and Brazil. The Asia-Pacific region has also witnessed tremendous growth in the drilling fluids market. Growing government support in the form of tax holidays and encouragement to gas and oil production in China and India by giving subsidies to exploration and production companies is expected to fuel the growth of the drilling fluids market in Asia-Pacific.

In terms of applications, onshore oil and gas accounted for more than 70% of the total drilling fluids consumption in 2012. This is mainly due to mounting onshore drilling activity in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and North America. However, extensive natural reserves in the Golden Triangle – offshore Brazil, Gulf of Mexico, and offshore West Africa – have led to rising investments in the region, thereby expecting to increase the demand for drilling fluids in offshore exploration of oil and gas.
