Energy prices remain high
amidst supply concerns
In 2006 US energy prices reached their
highest levels in two decades, driven by
global and regional tightness in crude oil
and natural gas supplies. Rising demand
from industrializing nations has been
driving robust global crude oil consumption,
at a time when many key producing
areas are struggling to expand oil output.
This tenuous market situation has eroded
spare production capacity and sharply
increased crude prices, a development not
aided by continuing concerns over the
political stability of several important oil
exporting nations. Similar supply
concerns are found in the US natural gas
market, as stagnant production and
import infrastructure limitations have
restrained supplies, pushing prices high
enough to force a significant portion of
industrial consumers out of the market.
Despite a slight easing of domestic oil
and natural gas prices through the first
half of 2007, continuing market tightness
is expected to leave prices elevated
through the forecast period.
Challenges increasing
for domestic producers
Motivated by favorable economics,
energy companies are striving to expand
their production of US energy resources,
many of which are heavily depleted after
over a century of production. Domestic
crude oil output has been falling for
decades due to depleting reservoirs,
environmental restrictions and a lack of
investment, a situation gaining increasing
government notice due to the US economy’s
increasing dependence on imported

petroleum. The natural gas situation is
more critical; with limited import
capacity, the country is heavily reliant on
maintaining production from an increasingly
mature resource base. Although
improved technologies have boosted
initial well flows, they have also substantially
accelerated depletion rates, forcing
producers to drill ever more wells just to
keep natural gas output at existing levels.
In both the oil and gas sectors, high
prices and limited prospects are driving
producers toward higher-cost projects in
difficult operating environments, such as
the deepwater fields of the Gulf of
Mexico and unconventional coalbed
methane fields. Further complicating
these challenges are the sharp increases
in upstream capital costs observed in

recent years, which have negatively
impacted project economics throughout
the US.
Oilfield chemicals thriving
on industry challenges
Overcoming these significant difficulties
will require continued high levels of
oilfield activity. The subsequent rise in
rig counts, the increased utilization of
well stimulation and enhanced oil
recovery methods and the continued push
into deepwater drilling and production
will provide a wide range of opportunities
for the suppliers of both formulated
oilfield chemicals and their raw materials.
By 2011, over $1 billion in new annual
chemical demand will be created by a
strong expansion in oilfield activity.
Much of these gains will be from the
drilling fluids and stimulation chemicals
needed to support high levels of rig
activity and widespread well stimulation
efforts; such increases will also drive
gains for the raw materials such as barite,
surfactants and polymers needed to
formulate these products.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study,
Oilfield Chemicals, is priced at $4500.
The upstream environment of the
domestic oil and gas industry is discussed
in detail, complete with projections
assessing future oilfield activity and the
impacts of emerging trends. The study
provides historical demand data (1996,
2001, 2006) and forecasts for the years
2011 and 2016 by formulated product and
raw material. It also profiles 34 major
oilfield chemical suppliers and evaluates
market share data.
