Oilfield chemistry
Part 4 of this series provides an overview of ongoing research and recent technology improvements within the US focused on improving sweep efficiency or conformance solutions taking place in both academia and the service industry.
This paper presents a family of machine-learning-based reduced-order models trained on rigorous first-principle thermodynamic simulation results to extract physicochemical properties.
This paper presents different geochemical approaches to assess the origin of produced gases and thermal maturity and evaluate the effect of adsorption on shale gas during production.

This paper highlights a tailored chemical treatment strategy developed for solids mitigation for a Delaware Basin operator. -
More than 1,000 pieces of oilfield equipment in the US have already been treated with a nanocoating that the company says nixes fouling problems caused by paraffins and inorganic scales.
-
It is pleasantly surprising to find a revival in sandstone acidizing. For many years, sandstone acidizing was becoming almost a lost art, overshadowed by carbonate acidizing and hydraulic fracturing.

SponsoredAs world demand for energy increases, enhancing the efficiency of oil and gas production is key. Horizontal and multistage fracturing have made a huge difference in recovery. Fracturing fluids have played a key role in these gains—reducing costs and lessening fracture damage. Now fracturing fluids can be more sustainable as well, helping with your company’s ESG goals.
-
In addition to manufacturing, the facility allows the company to expand its specialty chemicals research and applications for oilfield stimulation and production and better serve the region’s industrial water and process treatment markets.
-
Company will add Molykote lubricants, designed for oilfield use, to its slate of materials offerings.
-
When water and metal meet, you get corrosion. You also get a good dose of creative engineering and innovation.
-
A rigless chemical frac-hit remediation process was designed to address the damage mechanisms of capillary phase trapping, reduced hydrocarbon relative permeability, paraffin deposition, and minor scale deposition.
-
This paper is the second of a two-part series. It covers facilities problems caused by iron, injectivity problems caused by iron, and the mitigation of colloidal iron-related problems.
-
The difficulty in selling a chemical to aid subsea pipeline flow has been delivering it to the wells.
