A REPUTATION
Production Chemistry Consultancy
We offer expert production chemistry services to optimize and secure your oilfield operations. Our team of experienced and qualified production chemists, in collaboration with our partners, can guide you on the optimal selection and application of treatment chemicals for your specific situations and objectives. We can also diagnose and resolve any production chemistry issues that may affect your wells, pipelines, and processing systems.
We offer a range of services, including:
AUDIT SERVICES
We can visit your site and conduct a comprehensive audit of your production systems, from the well bore and production tubular to the production processing system and water injection plant. We can:
- Analyze your current and past production data and fluids analytical data to identify trends and issues.
- Evaluate your current chemicals treatment strategy and recommend alternative chemical or non-chemical solutions that are more effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
- Assess your monitoring frequency and techniques and suggest improvements if needed.
- Review the advice and services provided by your chemical service companies and ensure they meet your expectations and standards.
- Recommend specialist services for specific problems, such as microbiological attack or metallurgical failure, and coordinate with them to provide integrated solutions.
CHEMICALS SELECTION
We can advise you on the selection of the most suitable treatment chemicals for your production systems and the optimal use concentrations. We can:
- Manage laboratory projects to test the efficiency of your current treatment chemicals and compare them with competing products. We can also recommend the best laboratory evaluation techniques for your needs.
- Identify potential incompatibilities between chemicals, materials, brines, and reservoir rock and report their implications for chemicals selection.
- Provide information on the likely downstream effects (refinery or water disposal plant) and environmental impact of using selected chemicals.
DOWNHOLE TREATMENT
We can help you prevent or restore unplanned injectivity decline or productivity loss in your wells. We can:
- Diagnose the likely causes of the problem and suggest the best remedial actions.
- Review the design and implementation of remedial treatments and squeeze inhibition treatments and ensure they follow the proper methodology and monitoring. We have significant experience in this area and can provide quality assurance and guidance.
TOPSIDE APPLICATION AND MONITORING
We can help you improve the design and implementation of chemicals treatments for your topside production systems. We can:
- Critically review the advice and services provided by your chosen chemical service provider and suggest improvements if necessary. We can also coordinate field trials of preferred chemicals and assist with the establishment of monitoring programs.
- Advise you on your current monitoring capabilities and help you develop programs for fluids monitoring, sampling, and analysis. We can also determine your chemicals application rate and compare it with the recommended dose and provide advice on chemical dosing equipment.
- Advise you on the decontamination of equipment fouled with radioactive mineral deposits or containing hazardous levels of sulfides/hydrogen sulfide.
- Provide complementary services to enable a full microbiological survey of your production systems.
TRAINING
We can provide training courses in oilfield production chemistry and scale control, either in your offices or at an independent location. We can tailor the courses to your specific needs and objectives.
Courses introduce the chemical additives that are essential for the efficient production of crude oil. These additives are used in various stages of the oil production process, such as drilling, completion, stimulation and production. The course explains how these additives help to overcome potential problems that may arise as the fluids travel from the reservoir to the surface.
Training will provide an overview of the wide variety of simple and complex, inorganic and organic chemicals that are used in the oil industry. You will learn how to categorize the chemical additives based on their functional roles, such as:
Objectives:
- Understand the wide diversity of chemical additives and blends that are used in the oil industry.
- Explain why chemical additives are necessary and how they are formulated.
- Identify the types of chemical additives that are used and how to select them.
- Apply the practical aspects of using chemical additives, such as testing, deployment and equipment.
- Evaluate the market value and structure of the production chemicals sector and the roles of different stakeholders.
- Assess the environmental impacts and regulations of using and discharging production chemicals.
Training will provide an overview of the wide variety of simple and complex, inorganic and organic chemicals that are used in the oil industry. You will learn how to categorize the chemical additives based on their functional roles, such as:
- Viscosity modifiers, such as drag reducers, that improve the flow of fluids.
- Inhibitors, such as biocides and wax dispersants, that prevent or reduce the growth of bacteria or the buildup of wax in pipelines.
- Remedial agents, such as asphaltene solvents or scale dissolvers, that are used to treat existing problems in the production system.
Training is designed for anyone who wants to gain a common understanding of oilfield production chemicals. The course is suitable for:
- Petroleum engineers, chemists and other scientific and managerial disciplines who are involved in the oil production process.
- Project engineers, non-technical managers, product developers and evaluators who are responsible for the planning and implementation of production chemicals.
- Field operating personnel who are in charge of the deployment and monitoring of production chemicals.
