Flow improvers are used to maintain the viscosity and movement of crude oil in pipelines. In the Philippines, this market is small but critical for efficient oil import logistics. Applications are mainly found in oil terminals and refineries, with demand tied to fuel consumption trends and upstream activity levels.
As the Philippines increases its reliance on imported crude oil, the market for crude oil flow improvers is growing. These additives are essential for enhancing pipeline efficiency and minimizing flow-related issues. The market is seeing traction with the rise of offshore and deepwater oil transport activities.
This market faces limitations due to the small size of the domestic crude production industry. Use of flow improvers is mainly confined to a few operational oil terminals, restricting market volume. Importation challenges, lack of technical expertise, and minimal investment in oilfield enhancement technologies further hamper growth.
To optimize pipeline efficiency, flow improvers such as drag-reducing agents are becoming essential. Investment opportunities include setting up formulation plants or supplying additives to local oil companies. Collaborations with pipeline operators and downstream firms will be key to market entry.
Flow improvers used in crude oil transportation and refining are regulated by the DOE and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Chemical importation is monitored under the Chemical Control Order (CCO) framework. The DOE encourages adoption of flow-enhancing additives to improve pipeline efficiency and reduce energy costs. In refinery operations, firms are incentivized to use cleaner and high-efficiency materials through environmental compliance certificates (ECCs) and energy conservation programs.
