Step into the Oil Field Chemicals and Minerals industry

The utilization of oil field chemicals are becoming popular, as crude oil resources are deteriorating and the need for sophisticated extraction and exploration of natural oil resources are taking the first place.

The oil field chemicals consumption is expected rise 3.5% annually during 2010 t0 2015. Drilling fluids, stimulation and cementing (fracturing included) and oil production chemicals play a major role in the oil industry.Higher amount of cementing and drilling chemicals are the result of increased shale gas and oil operations.

Highly effective chemical formulations and high-end testing equipment and machinery are essential, to extract and explore oil and gas industry. Health, reliability, safety, availability and environmental standards are in explicable to achieve integrated development of oil fields and chemicals.

The use of oil field chemicals are majorly used in the following sectors;

Drilling fluids are essential to lubricate the drill bit, manage the pressure, while removing formation cuttings. They can be oil or water based, as per the reservoir’s geological characteristics and drilling phase. Completion and workover fluids are used for formation production.

Oil production chemicals are used during the entire stage, starting from oil production at the well to delivering the crude oil in a refined form. Corrosion and scale inhibitors, demulsfiers and biocides are the major oil field chemicals used for oil extraction using advanced recovery techniques.

Stimulation and Cementinguses chemicals for cementing steel pipes or borehole side casing. This helps the crude oil to move through the pipes and land the oil well by stimulation. Fracturing and acidizing are the most popular processes of stimulation.
