Industry challenges

Oilfield and refinery systems are rarely “steady-state.” Fluid composition, operating temperatures, pressures and processing demands can shift quickly, and treatment programs must keep pace without introducing new operational issues. In drilling operations, maintaining lubrication, stable emulsions and proper mud rheology is essential to support drilling precision, reduce equipment wear and minimize downtime.

In production, operators continue to face crude handling challenges driven by paraffinic systems, variable flow conditions and increasingly complex lift requirements. Flow improvers and surfactant technologies must perform reliably across a wide range of operating environments to help maintain throughput and efficiency.

Downstream, refinery and processing operations require additive technologies that can protect critical assets, improve process reliability and support fuel quality targets. Catalyst sulfiding, corrosion protection, fouling control and asphaltene management all play an important role in maintaining efficient operations and supporting performance across the refining process.
