Hydraulic Fracturing Market 2021: COVID-19 Impact In-Depth Analysis & Global Forecast to 2023
Market
Highlights
According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the
global hydraulic fracturing market is estimated to expand at a 14% CAGR from
2018 to 2023 (forecast period). The study addresses and examines the effect of
the outbreak of COVID-19 on the global hydraulic fracturing market, including
potential opportunities and challenges, drivers, and risks.
The energy sector has seen the transition from
conventional crude oil and natural gas to shale oil & gas and gas hydrates.
With the rising demand for fuel from growing nations, large-scale production of
shale oil has begun globally. Most shale rocks are semi-permeable, and hence
the oil produced is called tight oil. Conventional drilling techniques, as well
as drilling fluids used for the production of normal crude oil or gas, are
inefficient to extract oil from these rocks. Hydraulic fracturing technology
benefits from rising shale production and increased demand for energy fuels.
Fracturing helps to form cracks in tight rocks and thus to reach out to oil.
Hydraulic fracturing is an advanced technology in
which fluids are pumped into oil wells at an injection rate so high that the
oil reservoir formation breaks down. Traditionally, the fluids injected into
the reservoirs contain water, sand, and chemicals. With advances in technology,
drilling companies have recently introduced hydraulic fracturing and horizontal
drilling to allow several wells to be drilled from the same spot. In the
current oil and gas production scenario, the hydraulic fracturing process is
used globally to optimize the production of oil and gas from reservoirs.
According to the United States of America Department of Energy, up to 95% of
new wells currently being drilled or recently drilled are fractured
hydraulically. This constitutes approximately 75% of the total production of
natural gas and nearly 50% of the total production of crude oil from the U.S.

Market Dynamics
Driving factors for the hydraulic fracturing market
include increased oil & gas shale revolution, increased demand for oil
& gas, and increasing concern for the depletion of natural resources. Until
2015, only four countries were commercially developing shale oil and gas,
including the United States, China, Canada, and Argentina. Other nations, such
as Algeria, Mexico, Russia, Australia, and Colombia, have also begun to engage
in shale production with the rising shale revolution. This has positively influenced
the demand for hydraulic fracturing. In addition, numerous oil fields are being
depleted since they have been producing for more than 100 years. For example,
the Permian Basin of the U.S. and Safaniya oil fields in the Persian Gulf have
been extracting oil since the beginning of the 20th century. They've reached
their peak life, and they're depleting at a quick pace. Hydraulic fracturing
allows the flow rate of the damaged oil fields to be increased.
However, the damage caused by the technological
process of hydraulic fracturing causes the market to be restricted.
The hydraulic fracturing industry is expected to
have a significant number of advances over the forecast period due to
continuous improvements in the end-use industry coupled with rising demand for
exploration and production expenditures in the oil industry. The market is also
expected to have a high degree of expansion by multinationals and
well-established firms.
The global market for hydraulic fracturing is
expected to grow at a phenomenal pace during the forecast period due to a rise
in the shale oil & gas revolution, growing demand for oil, and increasing
concern for the depletion of natural resources.
Market Segmentation
The global hydraulic fracturing market has been
segmented into well type, technology, and application.
By technology, the global hydraulic fracturing
market has been segmented into plug-and-perforation, sliding sleeve, and
others. Amongst these, the plug-and- perforation segment leads the global
market due to the advantage of having a substantial number of individually
fractured stages in the wellbore.
By well type, the global hydraulic fracturing
market has been segmented into horizontal and vertical. The horizontal
hydraulic fracture technology is significant in the market, owing to its
advantage of fracturing multiple oil wells from the same point.
By application, the global hydraulic fracturing
market has been segmented into crude oil, shale gas, tight oil, and others. The
tight oil segment dominates the global market with increasing demand for oil
from non-conventional sources, and shale rocks have low permeability.
Regional Analysis
Region-wise, the global hydraulic fracturing market
has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle
East & Africa.
North America is projected to dominate the market
share of the hydraulic fracturing market as a result of an annual rise in the
production of shale oil and gas from the United States and Canada. According to
the U.S. EIA, in 2017, the total tight oil output in the U.S. amounted to
around 4.67 million barrels per day, accounting for up to 50% of the country's
total crude oil production.
