Use of Speciality Chemicals In Oilfields & Refinery Plants

 Increased demand for oil & gas, exploration of unconventional resources, complex reservoir conditions, and stricter environmental regulations have driven the demand for speciality chemicals, resulting in their market expansion. The oilfield industry is subjected to most critical processes and operational procedures, hence calling for easy, smooth, and sophisticated methods for exploitation. Use of speciality chemicals can be considered as one of the methods. These chemicals and their ongoing innovation also play a key role in the continuous growth of the world economy.

Oilfield and refinery chemicals have enormous attention over the last few years because of their role in hydrocarbon recovery. Three main categories of these chemicals are Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. Upstream involves the exploration and production of oil and gas resources. Midstream involves activities related to the construction and operation of pipelines, and storage facilities, ensuring the efficient and safe movement of oil and gas from production sites to refineries or end users. Downstream sector handles the refining, processing, and distribution of oil and gas products. Speciality Chemicals come up with drilling optimization, enhanced oil recovery, metal protection, fluid stabilization, and various other concern. These chemicals are used in oil & gas extraction operations to enhance their efficiency and productivity.

Let us understand the impact quotient of these speciality chemicals used in oil and gas industries

·         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 the environment, eco-system

·         Saves time and assures monetary benefits for the owners and stakeholders Chemtex Speciality Limited offers a comprehensive range of oilfield and refinery chemicals that can boost production and quality, reduce costs and downtime, and increase profitability.

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, ...

Chemtex Cooling Tower BioDispersants are chemical compounds that are dosed in cooling tower water to prevent fouling of system

Some systems in chemical industries   are mainly comprised of Cooling water.These cooling water is continuously fed through various circulation pipes. The system comprising of such cooling water in huge amount needs to be cleaned in regular intervals.Otherwise various biological microorganisms such as algae,slimes & bacterial deposits are known to get accumulated.These microorganisms are known to cause MIC(Microbiologically Induced Corrosion) In such a scenario biocides can be fed but they are unable to remove biofilms . Chemtex Cooling Tower Biodispersants are very much able to remove such biofilms.They are also extremely compatible with all types of biocides. Cooling tower biodispersants indirectly does collaborative job with biocides in these two ways. ·          It increases the efficiency of biocides & microbiocides. ·          It reduces the quality of biocides to be ...
