Oilfield Scale Inhibitor Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Oilfield scale inhibition prevents scale formation from impeding or blocking fluid flow through pipes, valves, and pumps used in oil production and refining. Scale inhibitors are chemicals that prevent or reduce the nucleation, precipitation, and subsequent co-adherence of inorganic compounds to production conduits and processing facilities, which are the main elements susceptible to scaling problems. The performance of scale inhibitors is influenced by various factors, including magnesium and calcium ion levels, temperature, pH, and the presence of other corrosive chemicals in brine mixtures generated during oil and gas well drilling. A scale inhibitor's overall inhibitory concentration (MIC) should be between 0.5 and 20 ppm.

Global Oilfield Scale Inhibitor Market Dynamics

Drivers

• High application of various types of inhibitors

Pipes, valves, wells, and pumps in the oilfield sector can cause the formation of carbonate scales and sulphate. There are dense calcium carbonate and sulphate deposits that have accumulated over time. It gradually creates impediments to fluid movement and flow. Removing scale from oilfield water systems takes time and necessitates the shutdown of costly machinery. Various types of inhibitors are used to target a large customer base in order to keep the oil processing systems clean and minimise equipment downtime. These factors could propel the oilfield scale inhibitors market forward.

• High importance of oil and gas industry in an economy

The oil and gas industry is a significant end user of oilfield scale inhibitors. Water used in the oil and gas industries is chemically treated with scale inhibitors such as phosphonates to reduce or prevent the formation of scale on machineries and equipment used in various stages of oil and gas production such as production wells, water and disposal wells, flow lines, and surface equipment. Oilfield scale inhibitor is a process used to keep scale from interfering with or preventing fluid flow through pipelines, pumps, and valves used in oil production and refining.

Opportunities

• Development of novel products to cater environmental concerns

Various governments around the world have created programmes to identify and evaluate hazardous substances. Due to the strict rules and regulations regarding environmental concerns, biodegradable oilfield scale inhibitors have been developed; this aspect may create tremendous opportunities for the growth of the oilfield scale inhibitors market.

Restraints

• Various side effects

Increasing environmental and handling effects and the risk associated with the side effects of oilfield scale inhibitors are expected to impede market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Oilfield Scale Inhibitor Market Dynamics

The subsequent lockdown and shutdown had a negative impact on the firms that had to shut down their manufacturing processes. The end-demand products declined, while the supply chain experienced significant disruption. In response to the rising number of COVID cases, the government took a number of precautionary measures. The rise in growth of scale inhibitor chemicals was dropped in the regions of Germany, the United States, Spain, Italy, and France, affecting the expansion of scale inhibitors market size. Due to the pandemic, the majority of key players were attempting to restart their operations by prioritising rising supply chain growth while imposing certain COVID-related measures.
