Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The shift from shallow to deep water exploration is notably driving the crude oil flow improvers market growth, although factors such as stringent regulations and policies may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the crude oil flow improvers industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market Driver
The shift from shallow to Deepwater exploration is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global crude oil flow improvers market. Most of the offshore production is mainly concentrated in shallow waters because of the low cost and technical challenges. Advances in drilling technology, floating production, dynamic positioning equipment, and drilling units have made deepwater exploration a viable option. The exhaustion of some of the shallow offshore resources has pushed the vendors to explore and produce oil and gas from deepwater and ultra-deepwater (at depths of 1,500 meters or more) resources. The increasing oil exploration in deepwater and ultra-deepwater is expected to drive the demand for crude oil flow improvers. Low temperatures and high pressure on offshore locations can lead to the precipitation of waxes, hydrates, and asphaltenes. Crude oil flow improvers enhance the flow assurance of crude oil and help in increasing production capacity.
Key Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market Trend
The refracturing of old crude oil wells will fuel the global crude oil flow and improvers market growth. Refracturing shale wells is a topical issue as operators can use the latest technologies on old wells, thereby increasing the production without incurring costs on new wells. The functions of old or underperforming wells are stopped, and hydraulic stimulation is applied for completion. The application of hydraulic stimulation in horizontal shale wells is in the initial phase. The fracking process uses horizontal drilling to access the shale deposits that were previously inaccessible using conventional drilling methods. After drilling into the earth, a high-pressure water mixture, which is called fracking fluid, is applied to the rock to trigger the release of the gas and petroleum present inside. The rising adoption of the fracking technique has enabled energy companies to discover and obtain very large quantities of oil and natural gas in various parts of the world. Such instances of mergers and acquisitions are expected to foster market growth during the forecast period.
Key Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market Challenge
The stringent regulations and policies are a major challenge for the global crude oil flow and improvers market growth. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is undertaking a study to understand the relationship between hydraulic fracturing and drinking water resources and focus on the fracturing of shale natural gas wells. In California, a lawsuit was filed, which challenged the Federal government's insufficient investigation of the offshore fracking threats on the coast of California. Following France, Bulgaria, and Germany, Scotland banned the fracking process in 2015 because of its harmful environmental effects. The UK, Romania, Denmark, Ireland, South Africa, and the Czech Republic have imposed moratoriums on fracking. However, under an emergency order, the US EPA forced three oil production companies operating in the Fort Peck Reservation in the US to repay the city of Poplar, Montana, US, for expenditure on water infrastructure incurred as a result of their drilling activities. All these regulations have restricted improvements in hydraulic fracturing technology, thereby slowing down the growth of the global crude oil flow improvers market.
