Commonly used stimulation techniques are 1) acidizing and 2) fracturing. Oil and natural gas stimulation differs-- natural gas wells require stimulation roughly twice as often as oil wells. Completion & Stimulation includes Clear brine fluids, Shale inhibitors, Lubricants, Non-emulsifiers, H2S scavengers, Defoamers, Surfactants, Viscosifiers, Anti-sludge, Acid retarders, Asphaltene control, Corrosion inhibitors, Wetting agents, Foaming agents, Mutual solvents, Micellar solvents, Iron control/chelating agent, Reducing agents, Biocides, Fluid Loss control, etc.
From 2014-2016, almost all of the oilfield chemical company's revenues have experienced various degrees of decline due to weak demand of shale gas. Hydraulic fracturing continues globally, but primarily in North America. While hydraulic fracking grew during 2011–14, with lowered crude oil pricing, it is showed that consumption declined by 36% in 2015. In 2017, the global oilfield chemical industry began to pick up.

The global Oilfield Stimulation Chemical market was valued at xx million US$ in 2018 and will reach xx million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of xx% during 2019-2025.
