Introduction to Oilfield Chemicals – Chemtex Speciality Limited

 


Evolving innovation in oilfield chemicals is one of the key reasons for an exponential growth of the sector. Projected to hit $35 billion market size by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%, the demand of speciality chemicals will be on surge in coming times, with rise in demand for oil & gas feedstock. The progress in field exploration and deep-water drilling advancements will only add to the rise. The industry undergoes most critical processes and operational procedures, and thereby requires easy, smooth and sophisticated methods for exploitation. As a consequence, speciality chemicals for oil and gas have gained enormous attention in recent years, owing to the extensive role they have in hydrocarbon recovery which contributes to the economic growth of state affairs. Three main categories of this industry are Upstream, Midstream and Downstream, where Upstream deals with exploration and production, Midstream with transportation through pipelines and Downstream sector involved in processing of the raw crude obtained from the Upstream sector. Here, the speciality chemicals come up with drilling optimization, enhanced oil recovery, metal protection, loss circulation inhibition, fluid stabilization and various other concerns.

PHPA, Triazines, Primary / Secondary / Tertiary Amines, Quaternary Salts, Polyhydric Alcohols, Keto-amines, Organo-phosphonates, Co & Ter Polymers, Polycarboxylates, Aldehydes, Film Forming Amines, Silicones, Ethoxylated Phenols, Glycols, Acetates, Fatty Acids are some of the regular formulations that are blended with water, aromatic / non – aromatic solvents to manufacture speciality chemicals for use in drilling, extraction, production, oil recovery, storage, transportation and refining of crude oil & gas.

Using processes like Amidation, Quaternization, Saponification, Polymerization, Cyclization, Ring Closure Reactions, and others, organic specialties such as Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors, Demulsifiers, Flow Assurance Agents, H2S Scavengers, Sweet and Sour Gas Neutralizers, Drilling Mud Additives, Biocides, Surfactants, Emulsifiers, Lubricants are manufactured, for use in all operational units of an oilfield and a refinery. 

Impact quotient in chemicals used in oil and gas industry:

·         Higher yield in production at drilling sites and refinery processes, with minimal dosing and application

·         Optimum protection to metallic surfaces from highly corrosive agents that comes out during crude oil extraction

·         Lesser exposure to toxic chemicals

·         Nearly cent percent extraction within limited operational steps

·         Zero to negligible toxic waste, eliminates costly remediation, hazardous leftovers, and end-of-the-pipe treatments

·         Significantly reduced use of landfills with hazardous wastes causing no harm to environment, eco-system

·         Saves time and assures monetary benefits for the owners and stakeholders

Chemtex Speciality Limited offers a wide range of its speciality chemicals used in oilfields and refineries, serving all leading production units across the globe. Chemtex is affiliated with ISO 9001:2015, EMS 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 standards, GeM registered OEM and has GMP certified state of art production facility.

Acid Coil Cleaner leaves the aluminum surface clean and shining bright

Improper refrigerant levels, dirty coils, and worn out compressors or condensers can result in inefficient performance of air conditioning system. An inefficient system tends to force the compressor to work harder than is required decreasing its life span and thereby leading to higher energy bills. The primary energy required in operating an air conditioning system comes from the compression of refrigerant. The hotter the compressor receives the processed refrigerant, the more energy is necessary to force it through the condenser. The refrigerant needs to become cold enough to absorb more heat from the process, therefore an external chiller such as an open evaporative condenser or air blast unit is required. It is crucial for effective air-conditioning operation that the condenser is able to easily reject heat through the cooling airflow and the heat exchanger coils. Energy consumption builds up as the refrigerant vapor pressure increases, where the refrigerant is not sufficien...

Excellent Efficiency Flocculation with Polyelectrolyte

Polyelectrolytes are regarded as polymer chains with an electrolyte group on every repeat unit. When dissolved in a polar solvent, these polymers are charged due to dissociation of small counter ions that leave behind a charged macro ion. Polyelectrolytes include biologically important molecules such as polypeptides and DNA. These are referred to as polymers that are generally used for water purification. These are highly noted for their beneficiary nature of handling problems of slow settling of flocs in water at low temperature, treating soft colored water where they increase toughness of the flocs and enhance its settlement ability. Polyelectrolytes are formulated in a way so as to be used as coagulants and flocculants as well as a sludge dewatering agent in the waste water treatment plants. P olyelectrolyte , thereby, plays an indispensable part in the sludge conditioner formulation. Generally flocculation occurs owing to charges present on the particles. Generally, Pol...
