Pune, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2018 -- Latest Industry Updates:

January 02, 2018 – Halliburton released the Marine Sentry 3000, a rotating control device that provides a pressure control solution by creating a seal around the drillstring and tool joints for safer containment of fluids during conventional or controlled pressure drilling.

December 15, 2017 – Chevron Corp (US) a multinational energy corporation has formed partnership (preliminary agreement) with oil services firm Schlumberger NV (US) the world's largest oilfield services company to drill six wells in a Brazilian offshore field, in a bid to lift its output in the South American country after a 2011 oil spill there cut production.Six wells would be drilled in the Frade field in Brazil's offshore Campos basin, and work should begin in early 2019. Drilling for the contract, worth about $20 million would be spread over 18 to 24 months.

December 01, 2017 –Calfrac awarded with 'Excellence in well completions' for its CalVisc system that was developed as an alternative to traditional cross-linked fluid systems and offers proppant placement technology equivalent to cross-linked fluid systems. The CalVisc system increases proppant pack conductivity compared to guar-based fluid systems while generating significant viscosity at low shear rates.

Market Highlights
Drilling fluid is the mixture of water, oil caly, & various chemicals. Drilling fluid is also called as drilling mud. Drillling Fluids plays a crucial role in oil and gas exploration activities. While drilling it perform varioys functions such as mud cools the drill bit and lubricate its teeth, it carries the drill cutting to surface and eliminate the drillpipe stuck problem. Mud maintain the hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore. New oil reserves discoveries across the globe and increasing shale gas activities in U.S. driving the growth of the market. Recently, US Geological Survey Agency estimated that, the Bossier and Haynesville Formations, on and offshore along with the U.S. Gulf Coast contains 4 billion barrels of oil, 304.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 1.9 billion barrels of natural gas liquids. Hence, in the coming years, shale gas drilling in the U.S. is increase significantly, which ultimately increases the demand of drilling fluids. However, stringent government regulations for drilling operations may hamper the growth of the market.

Hence, Drilling Fluids Market is expected to reach a market size of USD 69.9 million by the end of the forecast period at CAGR of 14.05%.

Key Players
The key players of global drillingF fluids market are Schlumberger Limited (France), Halliburton Inc. (U.S.), Baker Hughes Incorporated (U.S.), Newpark Resources Inc. (U.S.), National Oilwell Varco. (USA), Scomi Group Bhd (Malaysia), TETRA Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), Canadian Energy Services & Technology Corp. (Canada), GEO Drilling Fluids, Inc. (U.S.) and Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc. (U.S.) among others.

Market Research Analysis
Based on type, water based drilling fluid accounted for the largest market share of 55.90% in 2016, with a market value of USD 4,706.6 Million and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.52% during the forecast period. Water-based fluids (WBF) are the most commonly used drilling fluid systems. This fluid system is less expensive, requires less chemical treatment before disposal, and their eco-friendly properties are anticipated to fuel the demand of water based fluids during the forecast period. Oil based fluid was the second-largest market in 2016, valued at USD 2,248.0 Million in 2016; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.66%. In oil based fluids, oil is in continuous phase. Oil-based muds are better for greater depths or in directional or horizontal drilling, which place greater stress on the drilling apparatus.

Based on application, onshore accounted for the largest market share of 69.40% in 2016, with a market value of USD 5,843.2 Million and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.80% during the forecast period. Offshore was the second-largest market in 2016, valued at USD 2,576.4 Million in 2016; it is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.53%.
