Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pbdpkc/drilling_fluids) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Drilling Fluids (Drilling Mud) Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.

Every drilling activity requires drilling and completion fluids and they are used extensively across the globe. Drilling and completion fluids use different types of base fluids such as water-based systems, oil-based systems, synthetic-based systems, and other based systems. The use of drilling fluids and completion fluids base depends on the cost of the fluid, the desired performance, and environmental impact.

The drilling and completion fluids market is directly dependant on drilling activities carried across the globe. Recent increase in oilfield discoveries and rise in drilling activities will drive the drilling and completion fluids market over the next five years. The increasing world energy demand and rise in population are putting pressure to drill at high depths and enter deep and ultra deep waters. These factors have been major drivers for the drilling fluids and completion fluids market.

For this research report the global drilling fluids and completion fluids market is segmented on the basis of their application areas that include onshore and offshore applications. Secondly, the global drilling and completion fluids market is also segmented on the basis of type of base fluids such as water-based systems, oil-based systems, synthetic-based systems, and other based systems.
