These are some of the typical crude treatments for upstream and midstream companies:
| Additive | Application | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Improver | Designed to reduce the injection of diluent to improve crude viscosity. We have achieved reductions of condensate injection in crude of 75%. | Price difference between crude and diluent. |
| Demulsifier | Designed to break water-crude emulsion based on field condition and fluid characterization offering stability and consistency in the dehydration process. Demulsifiers can be also used to reduce crude salinity. | Higher trading price due to crude quality upgrading. |
| Asphaltene Dispersant | Deposition of asphaltenes present in the crude leads to pipe blocking impacting production figures. Precipitation of asphaltenes occur through the formation of aggregates. Our improver facilitates the dispersion. | Higher crude production rates due to higher asset availability. Lower maintenance cost. |
| Scale Inhibitor | Designed to prevent the formation of scales in pipes and production equipment causing partial or complete clogging and restriction on oil displacement and total loss of production. | Higher crude production rates due to higher asset availability. Lower maintenance cost. |
| Mercaptan & H2S Scavengers | Our non-triazine scavenger reduce H2S content in both crude’s liquid & vapor phase without metal (zinc) deposition and minimum dosage. Crude upgrading exceeds by far treatment cost. | Higher trading price due to crude quality upgrading. |
| Corrosion Inhibitors | Designed to significantly reduce corrosion rate in pipe and equipment, extending the useful life and avoiding environmental liabilities. Adequate analysis of the fluids is one of the most relevant aspects in an efficient control of the corrosion speed | Higher crude production rates due to higher asset availability. Lower maintenance cost. |
| Well Stimulators | Designed to minimize formation damage mechanisms at sandstone well section due to particle plugging & and at limestone section by dissolving carbonates minerals. | Higher crude production rates from well stimulation. |
