Shifting drilling trend towards deeper and harsher formations necessitates the use of higher density drilling fluids, thereby requiring more barium petroleum sulfonate per well. Such favorable trends are expected to further aid the industry. Recent spurt in unconventional hydrocarbon exploration is a major factor that is expected to favor growth over the near future. Owing to its applications as a rust inhibitor across various industries, rapid industrialization, particularly in the emerging economies is presumed to complement the market over the forecast period.
Regulations related to drilling fluids and environmental concerns regarding the drilling fluid disposal are anticipated to negatively impact the global market over the next seven years. Volatile hydrocarbon prices lead to fluctuating investment levels by oil & gas companies in hydrocarbon exploration & production activities. Such fluctuations are expected to hinder market growth in the near future.
