Fracking Fluid End Market

The fluid end is one of the most critical components of the pressure pumping industry. The fluid end, which is subjected to constant pressures of water and chemicals, as well as the harsh environments of the fracking process, is prone to failure if not properly manufactured and maintained. Through fracking or hydraulic fracturing, shale gas and shale oil are obtained. Shale gas is like conventional natural gas that has been used in homes, industry, commerce, and vehicles.

Fracking fluid (or frac fluid) is a chemical mixture used in drilling operations to increase the number of hydrocarbons that can be extracted. The fluid prevents corrosion of the well. It also lubricates the extraction process and prevents clogs and bacterial growth, among other functions.

The fracking fluid end market is estimated to be worth $ XX  billion by 2031, with high growth rates expected in the next few years. The market is growing due to the increasing demand for shale gas and oil resources across the globe. Hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is a technique used to extract natural gas and oil from underground. The process involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals deep into the earth to break apart rock formations and release gas or oil.

Major players in this market include VP Sales & Manufacturing, Forum Energy Technologies Inc., Dragon Products Ltd., Gardner Denver Inc., Kerr Pumps, Halliburton Company, ST9 Gas & Oil LLC, The Weir Group PLC, TechnipFMC PLC, and Vulcan Industrial Holdings.
