Oilfield Biocides Market Segmentation:

Type Segment Analysis

The DBNPA segment in the oilfield biocides market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share in the coming years owing to its significant utilization in the paper & coating industry and slurries. As per a report by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), DBNPA is utilized as a vital biocide in water applications owing to its quick chemical breakdown and immediate antimicrobial activity. Increasing uncontrolled microbial activity in the water-containing oilfield chemicals is estimated to hike market growth.

Also, the DBNPA is the most widely used biocide in oilfields. The DBNPA is a fast-acting, non-oxidizing biocide that can control aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and algae growth which is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.

Application Segment Analysis

Oilfield biocides market from the upstream electronics segment is set to garner a notable share shortly driven by increasing exploration activities such as generating geological surveys, land rights, and production activities including offshore and onshore drilling. From the initial drilling of the wells to the ongoing production of oil and gas, biocides are utilized at all stages of oilfield development, since biocide has the right mix of physical and chemical qualities, which helps to limit and control bio growth in the subsurface, and are required for the good decontamination phase to manage organisms introduced during drilling and completion procedures.
