Synthetic Lubricants & Functional Fluids to 2015

2012-02-23
Published : Feb-2012

This study analyzes the US synthetic lubricant and functional fluid industry. It presents historical demand data (2000, 2005, 2010) and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by fluid type (e.g., engine oils, heat transfer, hydraulic and transmission, metalworking, dielectric), material (e.g., glycols, polyalphaolefins, Group III base oils) and market (e.g., vehicles and equipment, metal fabrication, energy/power generation). The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles industry competitors.

US demand to reach $7.6 billion in 2015

Demand for synthetic lubricants and functional fluids is forecast to reach $7.6 billion in 2015, expanding the share of the overall lubricant market held by synthetic products. Advances will be propelled by the higher performance requirements of modern equipment, as well as increasingly stringent environmental standards. Gains will also be fueled by the increased availability of high quality basestocks due to growing investment in new basestock capacity, both in the US and overseas. As the supply of these materials expands, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are becoming more willing to recommend the use of high performance synthetic products, particularly as OEMs make steps toward global specifications.

Engine oil to remain fastest growing product

Engine oil will remain the fastest growing product type through 2015. These lubricants primarily find use in automotive applications and will therefore benefit from a rebound in motor vehicle output from the declines of the 2005-2010 period, as well as continued gains in the number of motor vehicles in use. The adoption of the GF-5 and API SN engine oil specifications in 2010 and the development of General Motors’ proprietary DEXOS1 certified engine oil will further promote gains. Such standards have been created to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce engine emissions, thus helping OEMs to comply with emissions regulations and corporate average fuel economy standards. In addition to GM, which now requires synthetic motor oil for nearly all of its vehicles, other leading vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda are also making the transition. This will drive demand for synthetics in the engine oil market through the forecast period.

Scoop Stack Shale in the United States of America – Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2025

Scoop Stack Shale in the United States of America - Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2025 Summary In the US midcontinent region, the Scoop-Stack shale is a prolific shale play located in the central and southern part of the state of Oklahoma. This shale broadly comprises South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (Scoop) and Sooner Trend, Anadarko, Canadian, and Kingfisher (Stack). These are two basins with different geologic formations and hydrocarbon deposition. Scoop-Stack is not a traditional shale play; rather it contains different layers of stacked pay with different rock types. Its complex formation has an impact on changing hydrocarbon mix across the play. Inconsistent geology made the hydrocarbon extraction quite difficult and eventually Scoop-Stack emerged as a high-co......

Unconventional (Oil and Gas) Production in the US Lower 48, 2020 Update

Unconventional (Oil and Gas) Production in the US Lower 48, 2020 Update Summary As a result of crude oil price crash followed by the economic crisis sparked by Covid-19, crude oil demand has plummeted due to restricted mobility as lockdown measures were implemented. Operators were swift to readjust their capital and production guidance for the year of 2020. From a list of 17 operators, the total capital expenditure cut sums up to approximately US$ 38 billion, with Exxon leading the cut with US$ 10 billion followed by Chevron with US$ 6 billion. However, Occidental Petroleum has the biggest percentage cut of 55%. The withdrawal of investments in development plan in US Lower 48 states has led to a decline in production in 2020. The oil production cuts intensified during Q2 2020 with Permia......

Permian Basin in the US, 2020 – Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2022

Permian Basin in the US, 2020 - Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2022 Summary The Permian Basin has been the most affected play in the US since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. At its peak in March 2020, the Permian had 405 drilling rigs. Currently, there are just 125 drilling rigs in the area as of September 2020. The play also witnessed a drastic drop in its output from 4.85 million barrels per day (mmbd) in March 2020 to 3.89 mmbd in May 2020. With the contraction in demand for both crude oil and oil product persisting for a prolonged period of time due to COVID-19, there has been a look out for potential acquisitions with the goal of consolidating operations to lower costs. Chevron's US$13 billion acquisition of Noble Energy, including debt is one of the larg......

Bakken Shale in the United States (US) – Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2022, 2020 Update

Bakken Shale in the United States (US) - Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2022, 2020 Update Summary The Bakken Shale play is the second largest oil producing region in the US behind the Permian Basin. In 2019, it averaged over 1.4 million barrels of oil per day (mmbd) which made up almost 17% of the total United States oil production. This region witnessed an increase in production and activity since 2016, but will suffer a substantial drop in production in 2020. The price drop due to the COVID-19 pandemic has shaken up activity in the Bakken region. The main drivers in the decrease in production have been the shutting in of producing wells and the decrease in drilling activity in this region. The largest oil producer in the Bakken, Continental Resources reportedly shut ......
