Fluid loss additives are used to reduce the loss of filtrate during well cementing and drilling operations in the oil & gas industry. These additives are generally mixed with cement slurry and drilling fluid, which help to improve the cementing and drilling efficiency. These additives are mixed in very small quantities. Also, these additives have low solubility in hydrocarbons and minimum plastic flow in all grades, they also impart excellent filtrate control in oil based drilling fluid systems. The additive aids the operators to maintain the essential characteristics of the cement slurries, plus the thickening time, viscosity, compressive strength development and density.
United States holds the prominent position in the market and is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period (2021-2027). The increasing shale gas exploration activities in the region is the major growth driver for the market. Moreover, the increasing production of crude oil and heavy investments for drilling technologies is adding fuel to the market. Also, the US is the major manufacturer for crude oil. However, the impact on environment may hamper the market growth of fluid loss additives.
The outbreak of COVID 19 impacted many market including fluid loss additive market. The rising COVID cases in U.S. forced the government to impose lockdown. This halted the drilling activities which decreased the demand for fluid loss additives. Also, the various stringent rules imposed led to the break in supply chain and also reduced the production due to temporary closure of the industries. Moreover, the overall economic loss also had a significant impact on the market.
