1. GLOBAL OILFIELD BIOCIDES& BIO-SOLVENTS MARKETOVERVIEW

Biocides are the chemicals which are used to kill microorganisms. They act as anti-microbial

agents in the oil-field industry. Killing of microbial through biocides depends upon dose of

biocide in substance and the time when actually biocides get contacted with microorganisms. In

oilfield industries biocides are used in dose system by periodically or continuously. Biocides only

have its effect in substance when it is actually present in it but after removal, bacteria will start

growing again in the substance. And in fact at the lower dose it acts as a source of nutrition for

microorganism and helps it to growth in the substance faster.

The biocides are mainly oxidizing and non-oxidizing types. They are sub classified into types

such as glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, chlorine, DBNPA, THPS, quaternary ammonium and

others. These biocides are used in different oilfield applications like drilling, production,

hydraulic fracturing, packer fluids, completion and others. Glutaraldehyde is the major biocide

used in hydraulic fracturing across the globe.

Bio-based solvents are those who originated through renewable resources of biological origin

such as plants, fruits and so on. Bio based solvents are mainly in liquid form, these are the

solvents which are having less amount of carbon in it. They have ability to dissolve, dilute or

extract other substance without changing its composition. The main bio-solvents that are used in

oilfield applications are grouped into hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, glycol, alcohols and others.

Bio solvents are used to protect the environment from harmful compounds such as volatile

organic compounds. Oilfield biocides and bio-solvents market is analyzed using various

parameters as shown in the below figure.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The growth of microbial organisms in oilfield is a major concern for which industry spends huge

amounts on the effects of microbial growth. Biocides are the chemical agents that kill the

microorganisms and prevent and/or control the effects of microorganisms. These biocides are

of two types, namely: oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides. Bio solvents are those which can be

used as corrosion inhibitors or wetting agents in oilfield applications such as drilling, production,

completion and so on. Gluteraldehyde is an important non-oxidizing biocide which is widely

used in the applications of oilfield; whereas, chlorine is the most used oxidizing biocide because

of its low cost and corrosive nature against the microorganisms. As per IndustryARC analysis,

the global oilfield biocides and bio solvents markets revenue are valued at $535.8m and $137.7m,

respectively as of 2014, and are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% and 4.2% till 2020.

Oilfield biocides and bio solvents have a wide range of applications in oilfield such as drilling,

production, completion, hydraulic fracturing, and packer fluids and so on. The majorly used

biocides are non-oxidizing biocides and bio- solvents are hydrocarbons and alcohols. North

America is the leading producer and consumer of biocides and bio solvents and also has the

highest market share in the global market. This is due to its high shale production where these

chemicals are used mostly used in hydraulic fracturing application. In North America, U.S. is the

major country in terms of high market volume and revenue for the oilfield biocides and bio

solvents. The APAC and RoW are relatively small when compared to the North America in

terms of oilfield biocides and bio-solvents market; however they are growing rapidly as well as

with high CAGR. With respect to the global market, North America holds 55.6% of the entire

oilfield biocide market.

In Europe, the regulatory bodies like Environmental Protection Agency are promoting bio-

solvents for their eco-friendly nature and less harmlessness towards human life. These

regulations are one of the driving factors for the bio solvents market. The oilfield bio-solvents

market in Europe is projected to grow with a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast 2015-2020 next

after the North American region to reach $175.2m by 2020. In this report, the market has been

segmented by geography as North America, Europe, APAC and RoW. Market sizes and

forecasts are provided for each of these regions. A detailed qualitative analysis of the factors

responsible for driving as well as restraining the growth of the biocides and bio solvents market,

along with future opportunities are provided in the report.

4. MARKET FORCES DRIVING FACTORS

GROWING DEMAND FOR OIL AND GAS PRODUCTS FROM END USERS

Increased demand for the oil and gas end products such as solvents, electric blankets, fertilizers,

plastic wood, and adhesives and so on is ultimately resulting in increasing demand for oil and gas

extractions. In the oilfield industry, there are processes like upstream and downstream which

involves stages like drilling, production, completion and so on wherein the oil or gas has to

undergo several processes such as transfer, storage for longer periods and so on. Microbial

growth is one of the major problems faced by the oilfield industry and it uses biocides to control

the same. Microbial growth in wells, pipelines, drilling mud and so on results in huge expenses

and loss to the oilfield industries. Solvents are used to protect against corrosion and for the

cleaning of the mechanical parts used in the oilfield. Thus, the demand for oil and gas based

products leads to demand for the usage of biocides and bio based solvents.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS FOR ECO FRIENDLY BIO BASED PRODUCTS

The traditional solvents used from years in oilfield and in other main applications of solvents are

the synthetic products. Synthetic materials used to prepare biocides and solvents result in

harming the health of the humans and the environment. Disinfectants, insect repellents,

industrial chemicals like anti fouling paints for ships and materials and so on are called biocides

and since these exhibit their intrinsic properties that are harmful to the living beings when

exposed to them. Natural biocides can be derived from plants and bacteria and has less effect on

environment with no or less VOC.

Traditional solvents emit volatile organic compounds (VOC) which are harmful to human beings

and also to the environment by releasing the toxics. Government is concentrating on alternative

products like bio based solvents which have less or no VOC. These are derived from fruits,

seeds and so on. Government bodies like European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), European

Solvents Industry Group have regulations to promote less harmful biocides and bio based

solvents so that they have less impact on the environment. The rules and regulations have been

mandatory for the manufacturers of these products. Hence, this is a good indication for the

growth of this market.

6.1.2. OXIDIZING BIOCIDES

Oxidizing biocides are the chemical agents capable of destroying unwanted microorganisms used

in wide range of applications processes like commercial cleaning, hygiene and industrial process.

In industrial processes, it is used in stages like drilling, packer fluids. Oxidizing Biocides are used

in rare cases, when microbial growth in oilfield is too high and non-oxidizing chemical agents are

unable to control the growth. Oxidizing biocides are further categorized into chlorine, peracetic

acid, chloroisocyanurates, hypochlorite, bromine, ozone and so on. Oxidizing biocides are the

fast killing biocides when compared to the non-oxidizing biocides and are more reactive but less

persistent. These are used less in global oilfields when compared with non-oxidizing biocides.

This is because of their flammable and toxic nature which can lead to dangerous effects when

they are not properly used in oilfields. Oxidizing biocides are extremely corrosive with

microorganisms even with the minimum use levels of 1ppm or less. Companies like BASF, Dow

and Dupont and others are the manufacturers of oxidizing biocides for oilfields. Besides the

highly corrosive nature of the oxidizers, these are expected to have a wide usage in oilfield,

especially in fracking application.
