Oilfield
Surfactants are important type of oil field speciality chemicals that are
utilized in oil extraction, transportation and refining processes for augmenting
the recovery process of petrochemicals from the wells. The market for oilfield
surfactants has been broadly classified into several segments based on product
type, substrate and its applications. Owing their chemical properties oilfield
surfactants act as emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, lubricants, wetting and
suspending agents, foam control agents, dispersants and biocides. The report
provides detailed account of key oil filed surfactant types such as anionic,
non-anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and others depending on their dissociation
in water.

The
increase in energy demand over the last decade propelled by economic
development in developing regions has increased output of oil and gas
extraction. This has resulted in growing demand for oil field chemicals used in
exploration, extraction and refining process. Booming crude oil production to
cater the growing oil demand from emerging economies is the major driver for
oil field surfactants. Growing interest in bio-based oil surfactants is set to
propel market growth of this niche category. Environmental concerns and
decreasing oil prices might restrain oil production refraining market growth. The
IndustryARC estimates that the market value for oilfield surfactants will
advance from $853m in 2014 to $1.1 billion by 2020 with a CAGR of 5.5%.

Analysis, Expert Insights
The
anionic surfactants are the dominant type. The amphoteric surfactants are best
used for corrosion inhibition and are used in enhanced oil recovery technology
such as steam flooding. Each of these types is further divided in to subtypes
as well. The oilfield surfactants market is analysed based on type of substrates
including synthetic and bio-based oilfield surfactants. Due to the growing
environmental awareness the demand for bio-based oil field surfactants is
witnessing rapid gains outpacing synthetic substrate types.
An
extensive overview of the oilfield surfactants market from geographic
perspective is provided in the report. North America is the dominant region for
oilfield surfactants market in 2014 with a share of 34%. Europe held the second
highest share in the oilfield surfactants market due to the presence of major
oil producing nations such as Russia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The APAC
region is poised to exhibit the fastest growth due to increasing adoption of
using oil field surfactants.
