This study analyzes the US market for oilfield chemicals. Demand for oilfield chemicals is examined by application and by product type in US dollars, with selected data provided in volume terms in pounds. Additionally, demand for oilfield fluids is examined by type in gallon terms, with selected data provide in US dollars.

The total value of chemicals used in oilfield applications is measured at three levels:


  • fluid level (e.g., drilling fluids, stimulation fluids, completion fluids), which includes water and other base fluids and additives
  • application level, which measures formulated oilfield products
  • base product level

Oilfield fluids can be segmented into four major product segments:
