Report Description
The Global Oilfield Surfactant Market was estimated at USD 1,377.0 Mn in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 1,830.7 Mn by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.
Surfactant is a chemical used in the oil & gas industry, as it lowers the surface tension between liquids and solids. Surfactants are used as wetting agents, emulsifiers, and foaming agents for a wide range of industrial applications. A surfactant plays an important role in all stages of the oil field exploration process, including oil recovery, processing, oil drilling, reservoir injection, surface plant process, and oil transportation process.
Different types of surfactants such as anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and nonionic are used for the surfactant flooding technique to enhance the recovery of oil. Surfactants are injected during the surfactant flooding technique, which reduces the interfacial tension and increases efficiency in the oil exploration process.
Oilfield Surfactant Market Macro-economic Factors
R&D Investment
Manufacturers in the oil & gas sector are investing in enhanced oil recovery technologies to extract high quantities of crude oil from reservoirs. These technologies meet the growing demand for crude oil across various industries. The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation invested in enhanced oil recovery technologies to boost the production of crude oil. The rising production of crude oil and growth in the adoption of technologies increases the usage of surfactants in the oilfield industry.
Government Regulations
Stringent government policies and regulations boost the domestic production of crude oil. The New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) formulated by the Government of India is attracting investment in oil exploration and production processes. The main role of this policy is to attract foreign investment for exploring the appropriate oil and gas reserves to meet the rising demand for oil and gas in the country. Rising investment in crude oil exploration activities, in turn, boosts the usage of surfactants in the market.
Environmental Impact
The extraction process entails drilling in the oilfield, which disturbs the land and marine ecosystems. Companies in the oil & gas industries employ oil recovery technologies that use surfactants for removing contaminants and aid in the extraction of crude oil to the surface. The use of surfactant polymer flooding technology has less environmental impact on land & human health and improves oil recovery.
Market Dynamics
Market Driver- Rising Number of Oil Exploration Sites
Demand for oil exploration activities is rising, due to the increasing demand for crude oil across the commercial sector. Oilfield surfactants help to ease the offshore and onshore drilling process during oil exploration, which boosts the demand for oilfield surfactants. For instance, Exxon Mobil Corporation invested USD 10 Billion in an offshore project in April 2022.
The offshore project is approved by the Government of Guyana, which produces ~2,50,000 barrels of oil per day. In May 2021, SAIPEM SpA received an extension on two contracts for onshore drilling activities in Saudi Arabia for a duration of 5 years and 10 years, respectively. The development of onshore and offshore drilling activities is resulting in an increasing number of oil exploration projects globally, which is driving the market.
Market Driver- Growing Demand for the Extraction of Trapped Crude Oil
Demand for oil & energy has increased by 40% across the globe, due to its rising use across petroleum and energy industries. Oil & gas companies invest in the enhancement of oil recovery processes for the extraction of crude oil. Crude oil is extracted from underground reservoirs using drilling and pumping methods. Furthermore, the conventional surfactants used in the oil extraction processes leave behind some trapped crude oil and contaminants in the reservoir.
However, the use of oilfield surfactants reduces the interfacial tension between liquid and solid in the reservoirs. These surfactants completely extract the trapped crude oil and contaminants from the reservoir. Rising awareness about the benefits offered by bio-based surfactants during crude oil extraction and enhanced oil recovery propels the market.
Market Restraint- Impact of Oil Exploration Activities on Human Health
Crude oil manufacturers invest in the development of oil exploration projects, which increases the demand for oilfield surfactants. The extraction of crude oil is often carried out near residential areas, which impacts the local soil, water, and air. This, in turn, has an adverse impact on human health, causing cancer, liver damage, immunodeficiency, and neurological symptoms. Thus, rising awareness about the negative effects of these activities and chemicals used for oil exploration is restraining the market.
Market Opportunity- Strategic Investments and Partnerships
Crude oil manufacturers in developing countries invest significantly in exploration projects and in strategic partnerships to increase their share in the oil and gas industry. For instance, Cairn Oil and Gas, a subsidiary of Vedanta Limited, collaborated with oil field service providers to strengthen its oil recovery projects and campaigns. Furthermore, the subsidiary invested USD 700 million in oil & gas drilling infrastructure to increase its global presence. Increasing R&D investments and a rising number of partnerships are creating growth opportunities in the market.

Segmental Outlook
Based on type, the market is segmented into anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and nonionic surfactants. The cationic surfactants segment is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Cationic surfactants are highly effective in improving oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs with low surfactant loss due to adsorption.
On the basis of application, the market is fragmented into conventional oil & gas and unconventional oil & gas. The conventional oil & gas segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, as it is easy and less expensive to recover conventional oil. It requires less processing after the extraction process. Surfactants are used in the conventional method of oil extraction to increase the rate of enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Regional Outlook
On the basis of region, the market is fragmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, & Africa. The market in North America is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising oil & gas exploration activities across the region to meet the increasing need for energy by commercial and residential sectors. Key market players are focused on boosting the production of oilfield surfactants, which is propelling the market in North America.
The market in Europe is expected to expand at a significant growth rate, due to the increasing applications of oilfield surfactants, such as foamers, drilling surfactants, rig wash cleaners, surface active materials, emulsion breakers, and others in the region. The market in Europe is driven by key market players who are concentrating on expanding the oilfield surfactants production line.
