In several places of the world, investments in onshore and offshore oil and gas drilling have increased significantly to extract fossil fuels. The market for drilling chemicals is thus primarily driven by the enormous demand for fossil fuels in the production of energy. The expansion of avenues in the drilling chemicals market is being driven by advances made in the strategic production of shale oil and gas in several regions of the world. In order to produce shale gas, a variety of hydraulic fracturing techniques have steadily used a number of specialised chemicals. Greener alternatives in the chemical industry include substances that are less hazardous upon exposure, have a lower flashpoint or flammability, are more biodegradable, have a lower bioaccumulation rate, and are sustainable in both application and manufacture. Extreme environmental factors including the geography of the desert, extremely high and low temperatures, and the arid climate call for the use of various drilling chemicals as a cooling agent or a lubricant for oil field drilling activities.
