Fracking Chemicals and Fluid Market

  The Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market is a specialized activity in the oil and gas industry that develops, manufactures, and delivers chemical formulations used in hydraulic fracturing activity. Hydraulic fracturing, often referred to as "fracking," is a well stimulation technique for extracting oil and natural gas from deep underground sources like shale formations, tight sandstone, or coal beds. The process involves injecting a high-pressure mixture of water, chemicals, and other fluids into the rock layers to create fractures to improve the flow of the hydrocarbons to the surface. Typically, that fluid mixture consists of a water base that may include chemical additives to work as a friction reducer, a gelling agent, surfactant, biocide, crosslinker, scale inhibitor, and corrosion inhibitor. Each type of additive performs specific functions associated with the efficiency, safety, and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. The goal of the fracking fluids market is to ...
