Market Growth Factors
Due to global demand for shale gas as a fuel source, a prominent increase in the production of stimulation materials is needed to support hydraulic fracturing technology used to extract shale gas from hydrocarbon deposits. Governments are enforcing regulations to make hydraulic fracking more environmentally friendly, while promoting the use of environmentally friendly stimulation materials with minimal environmental impact.
Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing (by linking horizontal drilling with multistage fracturing and providing access to shale properties) are resulting in increased demand for new materials designed to improve stimulation and drilling efficiencies. The increase in global oil and gas prices is forcing companies to select advanced stimulation techniques, thus driving the market.
Leading proppants manufacturers are focusing on developing engineered proppants, which have improved flowback resistance, thermal stability, chemical and crush resistance and reduced proppant flow back under high temperature and closure stress applications in deep gas wells and deep oil wells. Coated sand and ceramic proppants that conserve water and increase well productivity are likely to propel market growth, due to improved oil and gas extraction efficiency and sustainability.
Market Segmentation
