Market Growth Drivers

Hydrochloric acid plays a vital role in the oil and gas industry, particularly in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and well acidizing processes. By dissolving carbonate-based rocks like limestone and dolomite, it increases reservoir permeability, allowing for improved oil and gas extraction—especially in shale gas operations. It is also used for descaling, pipeline cleaning, crude oil refining, and maintenance of petrochemical units, further emphasizing its industrial value. Rising global energy demand and growing investments in offshore and deepwater drilling projects are driving market growth. For example, in December 2024, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited announced a final investment decision for its Bonga North deepwater project. As a result, hydrochloric acid remains a critical component in the evolving oil and gas sector.
