Biocides agents penetrate into the metabolic pathways of the microorganism and interfere with their biological activities to inhibit growth. Oilfield biocides has high biocidal capabilities over wide range of organisms along with longer duration of action, good solubility in water and chemical & thermal stability, thus promoting their demand.  Growing research in developing biocides which are environment friendly and effective at low concentrations along with cost effectiveness will further act as another contributing factor towards industry growth.

Oilfield Biocides Market Outlook

Growing concerns over microbial contamination of oil in storage, drilling fluids, natural gas which lowers the content of hydrocarbon in oil will have positive impact on oilfield biocides growth. Development of microbes in the transmission lines accumulates in the pipelines metal surfaces causing complex process of corrosion which can be controlled only with the incorporation of effective biocides, thus propelling market growth.  Increase in oil & gas in various end uses such as automotive, aerospace, petrochemicals and industrial application despite of presence of renewable sources will further fuel product demand in oil & gas industry. 


Oilfield Biocides Market Segmental Overview

The report analyses the global Oilfield Biocides market based on type, application and geography

Various type studied are segmented into glutaraldehyde, TTPC, THPS, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), DBPNA, bronopol. Oilfield systems are prone to sulfate reducing bacteria and acid producing bacteria present in water produced which can deteriorate the quality of production system which promotes glutaraldehyde use in oil & gas owing faster action and broad pH range. It is also used in produced water, oil & gas transmission lines, storage wells, and production wells owing to high stability, ability to penetrate through biofilms and ability to eliminate microorganism in lines which is likely to further boost market growth. 

Furthermore, the major application considered in the study are Upstream Mid-stream, Downstream. The upstream applications are further divided into drilling protection, crude oil treatment, hydraulic fracturing operations, produced water treatment along with mid-stream applications including crude oil transportation &storage, pipeline pigging and scrapping operations. 

The global market is studied for the key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World.  North America accounts for largest share in market for Oilfield Biocides and is likely to dominate the market share over the coming years. Major oil & gas industry participants such as Exxon Mobil, Shell, Cheveron Corp and BP plc are present in this region which is likely to promote oil & gas exploration, thus promoting oilfield biocides demand. Asia Pacific followed by Middle East are other main contributor towards oil & gas explorations, thus stimulating demand for oilfield biocides.
