This market report, from Stratview Research, studies the composite frac plugs and frag balls market over the trend period of 2012 to 2017 and forecast period of 2018 to 2023. The report provides detailed insights on the market dynamics to enable informed business decision making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.
Composite Frac Plugs and Frac Balls Market: Highlights
Composite frac plugs and frac balls are designed to provide zonal isolation of a wellbore between multistage stimulation treatments during a hydraulic fracturing. These composite balls and plugs are made from glass fiber and epoxy or phenolic resin and are easier to mill out than metal plugs and balls. They can withstand higher pressure and temperature than traditional plastic and dissolvable salt balls.
Frac plugs are generally in the range from 4.5 to 5.5 inches in diameter and 22 to 30 inches in length, whereas frac balls typically measure from 1.0 to 5.75 inches in diameter. A single wellbore requires 10 to 40 multi-part frac plugs to pressurize and perforate multiple oil and gas producing layers, also known as stages. The volatility in crude oil prices adversely impacted the demand for composite frac plugs and frac balls. Many oil & gas explorations have been shut down due to the decreased oil prices.
As per Stratview Research, the global composite frac plugs and frac balls market offers a healthy growth opportunity during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. Recovery of oil & gas exploration activities, mammoth shale gas reserve in different parts of the world, especially in the USA, and superior performance of composite frac plugs and balls over their rivals are the major factors burgeoning the growth of the market. Both, composite frac plugs and frac balls, are expected to experience similar growth in the next five years, driven by increasing use of composite frac balls and plugs in the onshore oil & gas application.
Despite the short-term fluctuation in demand of composite frac plugs and frac balls in North America caused by dropping new shale oil & gas rig activities (because of the decreasing crude oil prices), the long-term business outlook seems promising with good growth potential in the foreseen future.
