Oilfield chemistry
This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of carbon dioxide through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations.
This study contributes to enhancing the understanding of scale-inhibitor retention in rock formations.
This paper details formulation and characterization of a novel nanoparticle system composed of polyethyleneimine and dextran sulfate for direct lithium extraction from bulk oilfield brines in North America.

The authors of this paper develop an assay method to determine effective scale-inhibitor concentration. -
The authors of this paper demonstrate that future produced-water management and scale-mineral control may need to consider the sequential exposure effect of steel, cement, and shale on fluid chemistry and mineral precipitation.

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.
