Midstream – Oil and Gas Chemicals



Once petroleum products are recovered in the upstream sector, they move into the midstream sector of the petrochemical industry.

What is Midstream? Midstream as the name suggests sits right between the exploration and refining sections of the petrochemical industry. The midstream sector focuses on the transportation and storage of natural gas and crude oils through various oil channels, pipelines, and oil tankers, etc. It is a hub connecting the various stages of the oilfield industry, allowing oil, natural gas, and produced water to travel from the wellhead to its final destination, and in between. This sector involves extensive installation of pipelines, transmission lines, and machinery, which signifies the requirement of long service life and reliability. To meet these standards, efficient chemicals are crucial to make midstream processes as efficient and smooth as possible. Regardless of the mode of transportation, the vast medium infrastructure is primarily constructed from structural steel, and they are prone to corrosion. The challenges posed are many.

Midstream chemicals address the major challenges to the industry in the handling, transport and storage of petroleum products. Limescale gets deposited on the pipeline due to high concentrations of sulphur, iron sulphide, rust, and organic solids, which left untreated will result in damaging operating equipment and potentially disrupting the chain.

Chemtex Midstream portfolio covers a wide range of innovative and high-performing chemicals divided into pipeline chemicals and crude tank farms:

Crude line corrosion inhibitor – It effectively neutralizes the corrosive effects of sour gases such as carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulphide that come out with crude oil.

Hydrotesting Corrosion Inhibitor – It provides excellent protection from corrosion in interior metal surfaces, pipelines, boilers, and other industrial equipment.

Wax Inhibitor – Wax deposition on Pipes is the main reason for high flow line pressure drops. Our formulation helps to reduce wax deposition, increasing the downstream facilities of refineries, crude oil pipelines and other surface equipment.

Pipeline Cleaning – Chemtex Pipeline Cleaning Chemicals are able to remove the large volume of unwanted materials that get deposited when fluids are transported.

Our Midstream Chemicals also find application in crude tank farms as

Dewatering agent that ensures improved filter water quality and achieves optimum solid capture. 

Crude Tank Cleaning additives are used in midstream to ensure maximum recovery of crude hydrocarbons from storage tanks, which are otherwise prone to sludge deposition.

Chemtex Midstream chemicals ensure

·         Complete protection to metal surfaces from highly corrosive agents during crude oil extraction, increasing performance and longevity

·         Significant reduction in maintenance cost and time

·         Assured monetary benefits for owners and stakeholders

·         Enhance the life of the assets with preventive maintenance

·         Reduced wastage

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Enhance IAQ of Closed Spaces with Air Fumigation: ALSTASAN SILVOX 150 FUME

Chemists around the world have shown considerable interest in various aspects and working of Hydrogen Peroxide as a disinfectant at different concentration. Over the past few years, it has been observed by them that a mere 0.5% of Hydrogen Peroxide shows excellent antiviral property within 60 seconds of application, reason being a strong oxidizing agent which helps in eliminating harmful microorganisms wherever used. It oxidizes the cell molecules, rupturing its whole structure and deactivating its ability to replicate. With silver, it has relatively wider range of biocidal (anti-bacterial and anti-fungal) pursuits than other disinfecting chemicals. Since Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and silver shows excellent anti-microbial property, their chemical combination brings a lot to the table as a rapid yet effective disinfecting agent with limited or rather no toxicity. Taking the above ideas into consideration, We at Chemtex Speciality Limited have come up with a brand n...
