Glutaraldehyde is used as an effective biocide in the oilfield industry due to its excellent performance in both neutral and alkaline water. It is a pungent, colorless, and oily liquid. Since the application of glutaraldehyde has resulted in a reduced biofilm accumulation in oilfields and significantly reduces bacterial population and metabolic activity, the oilfield biocides market will witness considerable growth in the glutaraldehyde segment. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the oilfield biocides market size.

Oilfield Biocides Market: Key Drivers and Trends

Oxidizing biocides are extensively used in various applications, including commercial cleaning and industrial processes, as a chemical agent since they are ideal for destroying microorganisms. Technavio's research analysis on the global oilfield biocides market has identified the increasing adoption of oxidizing oilfield biocides as one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the market growth in the coming years. Oilfield biocides are used in different stages of various industrial processes, including packer fluids and drilling. Oxidizing oilfield biocides are highly preferred over non-oxidizing agents because they are ideal for cases wherein the oilfield microbial growth is too high. Oxidizing biocides are more reactive and persistent than the non-oxidizing biocides and as a result, the coming years will witness a positive increase in the demand for oxidizing oilfield biocide chemicals. This will subsequently fuel the growth of the oilfield biocides market. Our market research analysts predict that this oilfield chemicals market will grow at a CAGR of almost 4% during the forecast period.

One of the emerging oilfield biocides market trends that is expected to gain traction during the next few years is the combined application of biocides with microbiocides for better microbial control solutions. For instance, biocides such as glutaraldehyde are combined with microbiocides such as TRIS (hydroxymethyl) nitromethane (THNM). THNM is used to control the proliferation of common oilfield bacteria such as acid producing bacteria (APB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). This combination also helps in the prevention of biofouling, corrosion of assets (microbial influenced), and the formation (biogenic) of souring.
