Oil & Gas - Major market for antiscalants

Oil & gas is the largest application market for antiscalants. Antiscalants is amongst the important chemicals used in oil & gas from upstream, which includes extracting the crude oil from the oil well to midstream, which involves transportation of the crude oil, and then downstream, which involves refining of the crude oil. The main function performed by antiscalants in upstream part of the oil & gas industry is the inhibition of scale. Flow assurance glitches are the issues often faced during exploration, treatment, and transportation phases. Scaling is one of the major flow assurance problems faced during oil field operations. Antiscalants with wide variety of properties are used at different stages and operating conditions the in oil & gas industry to mitigate types of scales formed. Increased use in the oil & gas industry in the next five years is expected to further drive the antiscalants market.
