据Freedonia咨询公司预计,受钻井行业复苏及单井钻井液用量增加的驱动,美国钻井液需求量预计每年将增长11%,2021年将达到1.45×10~9 gal(1gal≈3.785L)。2016年钻井液需求市值已高达16亿美元。在钻井行业处于高峰的2006—2016年期间,非传统钻井数量不断增长且占比大增,这些井更长,所需钻井液更多,从而导致每口井的平均钻井液需求量几乎翻倍。Freedonia公司早在2015年就预计美国对所有油气开 Freedonia Consulting estimates that demand for drilling fluid in the United States is expected to grow 11% annually and to reach 1.45 × 10 ~ 9 gal (1gal≈3.785L) in 2021, driven by the recovery of the drilling industry and the increased use of single well drilling fluid. 2016 drilling fluid demand market value has reached as high as 1.6 billion US dollars. During the 2006-2016 period when the drilling industry was at its peak, the number of non-traditional drilling increased and accounted for a significant proportion of the total. The longer these wells required more drilling fluid, resulting in a nearly doubled average drilling fluid requirement per well . As early as 2015, Freedonia expects the United States to open its doors to all oil and gas
