Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Research Report: Forecast (2025-2030)

Market Insights & Analysis: Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market (2025-30):

The Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market size is valued at around USD 93.0 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 132.22 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 7.08% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market is significantly growing due to several growth factors, including the rising oil field expansion in the country, the growing collaborations between global manufacturers of oil field chemicals & the oil recovery plants in the country, and the adoption of bio-based chemicals, which helps in achieving the sustainability goals of the country. For instance, the project Ruya (2024-2027) expansion, which aims to offer 200 new oil wells to increase the production capacity, reaching up to 100,000 barrels per day, will increase potential market growth. Similarly, the Al-Shaheen – Gallaf Project (2024-2026) to support oil well infrastructure and the Bul Hanine Field Redevelopment (2025-2028) to develop more than 150 new offshore wells in the country are offering ample growth opportunities to the market players of the Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Industry.

Additionally, the increasing collaborations and partnerships of the global players with the local companies are accelerating the market growth. For instance, Qatar Energy (2025) signed a five-year sub-surface services contract with Oilfield Production Consultants (OPC) Limited to increase the oil recovery activities in the country. These joint ventures are offering lucrative growth opportunities in this market. Moreover, the widespread acceptance of organic and green formulations of these chemicals, such as plant-based polymers, corrosion inhibitors, etc., is further uplifting the market size & volume.

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Scope:

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Driver:

Well-established Oil Fields in Qatar – The market growth is largely influenced by the rising oil fields and wells expansion in the country, as Qatar is rich in its natural oil and gas reserves. For instance, the country produces about 2 million barrels of crude oil per day, which requires a substantial amount of oil field chemicals, such as polymers, corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, biocides, etc., daily in the extraction of crude oil. This is attributed to the Al Shaheen Oil field near the Doha region contributes to the largest oil production in the country, with a production capacity of about 300,000–400,000 barrels per day (bpd). Similarly, the Dukhan Oil field, present in the western region of the country, produces approximately 300,000 bpd of crude oil. These have been significantly driving the market demand and ultimately the size & volume of the oil field chemicals industry.

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Opportunity:

Upcoming Projects for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Methods – The oil fields in the country are getting older, and their oil levels are dwindling gradually, which requires advanced extraction processes to increase oil quantity. This is resulting in the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects in the country, increasing the demand for high-quality oil-field chemicals. For instance, in 2023, the Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC) with Imperial College London, to research and discover advanced methods for oil recovery.

Similarly, in 2024, the Sulzer company was chosen to offer specialized pumps for the oil recovery projects in Qatar to inject essential oil-field chemicals into the reservoirs to extract oil efficiently. Additionally, the Ru’ya project (2024) includes the EOR technologies that aim to increase oil production in the country by 100,000 barrels per day by the end of 2027. These kinds of renovations are generating novel growth opportunities for the market players.

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Challenge:

High Import Dependence & High Production Cost– The market growth is hindered by the high reliance on imports from other countries like the US, Australia, Germany, France, etc., for raw materials to manufacture large volumes of oil field chemicals in the country, as the country lacks sufficient local production facilities. For instance, as of 2024, the US exported a substantial amount of chemicals used in oil operations, which were valued at over USD 500 million. Similarly, Australia and Germany generated about USD 300 million by exporting various oilfield chemicals to the country.

Moreover, the fragmented supply chains of water-soluble polymers in the country are further restraining the market growth, as these are leading to shipping delays. This is due to the high-temperature conditions in the country and the requirement for maintaining standard storage conditions in the product warehouses, leading to high disruptions in the supply chains, thus hindering smooth market growth & expansion.

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market Trend:

Inclination Towards Bio-based Chemicals – The market is going through some smooth changes due to the integration of bio-based formulations in the production of oil-field chemicals in Qatar. The companies are focusing on eco-friendly solutions to reduce the environmental impact and meet the sustainability goals of the country. This is because the biodegradable and green chemicals offer more benefits as compared to the traditional chemicals, which were harsh, harmful to public health. Additionally, the government of the country is encouraging the use of biodegradable and greener products to achieve sustainability goals for environmental and human health protection by introducing sustainability standards and protocols.

Several key players, such as Ras Laffan Petrochemicals, QatarEnergy, QAFCO, etc., are actively involved in the manufacturing and delivery of sustainable and biodegradable oil field chemicals in Qatar. These kinds of integrations are showing bright prospects for the forecast period.

Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market (2025-30): Segmentation Analysis

The Qatar Oil Field Chemicals Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends and influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2025–2030 at the national level. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Product Type:

• Biocides
• Corrosion & Scale Inhibitors
• Demulsifiers
• Polymers
• Surfactants
• Others

Out of these, the corrosion and scale inhibitors are leading the market segment, accounting for more than 55% market share. The dominance is due to the high performance and versatility of corrosion & scale inhibitors in the oil field industry in Qatar, as compared to other chemicals. This is due to the harsh environmental conditions, such as high salinity, moisture, and high-temperature conditions in the oil & gas industry, which are increasing the demand for highly effective oil field chemicals, including scale and corrosion inhibitors required for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

These are highly effective and widely used in a substantial number of applications in the oil & gas industry, including drilling, cementing, oil production, EOR, etc. For instance, large oil recovery projects like Dukhan Field and Al-Shaheen Field are actively using scale and corrosion inhibitors to ensure efficient oil recovery in Qatar by reducing corrosion and pipeline blockages, thus contributing to the dominance of this product type in the growing & flourishing market.
