Global Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose for Drilling Fluid Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose for Drilling Fluid market size is predicted to grow from US$ 140 million in 2025 to US$ 180 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium is a polymer chemical widely used in drilling fluids, especially in water-based drilling fluids, with various important functions. It is made by chemically modifying natural cellulose (introducing carboxymethyl groups). Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium can be used as a thickener in drilling fluid, which can significantly increase the viscosity of the drilling fluid. This enables drilling fluid to better carry rock debris and cutting materials, maintain the fluidity of the drilling fluid, and prevent sedimentation. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium has excellent water loss control performance, which can reduce the infiltration of water from drilling fluid into the formation, protect the stability of the formation, and reduce water loss. Proper moisture retention in underground rock formations can help improve drilling efficiency and prevent formation contamination. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium can enhance the dispersion and suspension of solid particles in drilling fluids, avoiding particle precipitation. It can make the drilling fluid more uniform and ensure stable flow performance. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium has good stability under different salinity and temperature conditions, which enables it to maintain consistent performance in complex drilling environments, especially in saltwater or high-temperature drilling environments, where the effect is particularly significant. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, as a lubricant, can help reduce friction between the drill bit and the rock, thereby reducing energy consumption and equipment wear during drilling and improving drilling efficiency.
