Oilfield Surfactant Market Scope
Oilfield Surfactants are amphiphiles that are used to lower the surface tension between two liquids. They are used as detergents, emulsifiers, foaming agents and dispersants. They are chemicals that effectively lower the surface tension between a fluid and a solid or between several fluids. It has various physical and chemical properties that can be exploited in the stages of drilling, production, enhanced oil recovery, refining, and stimulation.
According to AMA, the Global Oilfield Surfactant market is expected to see growth rate of 6.23%The Vendors having a strong hold in the market are Schlumberger, Halliburton, Dow Chemical, Nalco Holding, and BASF. Research Analyst at AMA estimates that United States Vendors will contribute to the maximum growth of Global Oilfield Surfactant market throughout the predicted period.
