US demand for well stimulation materials will climb 10.6 percent annually to $15.2 billion in 2018. Efforts to improve well productivity and develop unconventional resources will continue to change the product mix. Proppants are the largest material type but a variety of chemicals and other products will see strong gains. Texas will remain a key market.
This study analyzes the $9.2 billion US well stimulation material industry. It presents historical demand data for 2003, 2008 and 2013, and forecasts for 2018 and 2023 by product (e.g., proppants, base fluid materials, fluid additives) and regional market (Southern, Midwestern, Eastern, Western).
The study also considers market environment factors, reviews technology, evaluates company market shares and profiles 56 industry players, including Fairmount Minerals, CARBO Ceramics and Momentive Specialty Chemicals.
