High oil prices and greater cost efficiency in offshore projects are driving the demand for exploration activities.This, in turn, propels the demand for drilling fluids.

Drilling fluids play a crucial role in oil & gas exploration activities.It is a mixture of water, oil, clay, and several chemicals.

Drilling fluids are also known as drilling muds. This fluid performs numerous functions such as cooling the drill bit and lubricating its teeth while drilling, carrying drill cuttings to the surface, and reduces drill pipe stuck problems. Drilling fluids help maintain hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore. Newly developed state-of-the-art drilling fluid treatments offer superior reliability with efficient results for the energy industry.

Implementation of stringent regulations to minimize harmful carbon emissions is propelling the demand for water-based muds and synthetic-based muds.Increase in offshore drilling activities has increased the consumption of drilling fluids.

Therefore, governments of several countries are funding and supporting development and adoption of the latest technologies to manufacture environment friendly drilling fluids.

Several companies are actively developing synthetic-based muds for the use in complex geological formation.Rise in demand for water-based muds due to its cost effectiveness is expected to drive the global drilling fluids market during the forecast period.

Developed and developing countries are investing significantly in offshore drilling. Demand for drilling fluids in Asia Pacific is gaining momentum due to the rise in offshore and onshore drilling activities, especially in countries such as China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia.
