Chem offer technology, advanced research and continuous development of treatment program. Chem International is a specialized industry in chemicals production for Oil & Gas, Water & Process Treatment. Chem International supply chemicals treatment in most oil field.

Many of oil field product change in time in their production type and manner due to the new facts. Some of this is due to oldest of field, production rate, liquid ratio, etc.... During the production years Chem maintain own data and in cooperation with client uses this data when necessary to solve production problems and offer best efficiency and protection.

 

On-site consulting:

CHEM engineers assume a detailed evaluation to each plant by optimal inspection and analysis of all operative parameters.

We interpret critical data that cause a decrease in production or a failure of equipment installed down hole or at the surface.

The most important thing, that we obtain an updated image related process and operative parameters in order to describe potential chemicals for each type of treatment downstream, upstream or Squeezing technique.

 

        

 

Laboratory tests:

 

A very specialized tests always performed to check additives like the reliability of demulsifiers, corrosion & scale inhibitors under varying brine, pH, inhibitor concentrations, and temperatures. At same for Paraffin and asphaltene inhibitors or dispersants.

   


Treatments:

 

Preventive treatment:  It depends on the probability of damage and the consequence of a potential damage.

For that, our Inhibitors can be used as a protective coating using dispersion techniques:

  • Corrosion inhibitors are commonly applied via a process known as passivation which through it a light coat of a protective material, such as metal oxide, creates a protective layer over the metal that acts as a barrier against corrosion.
  • Scale formation is prevented by pre-treatment of boiler make-up water (using water softeners, demineralizers and reverse osmosis to remove scale-forming minerals)
  • The control of microbial growth is generally achieved by ensuring systems which are cleaned on start-up and regularly as required, preventing contamination of systems and dosing with a biocide either on a continuous basis or via a program of shock dosing.
  • The dispersion process prevents the asphalt molecules from re-agglomerating into larger masses that will quickly separate from the liquid as a solid.

 

    Curative treatment: it relies on many factors:

  • Types of formation: Asphaltenes / waxes /corrosion/bacteria/foam….to choose the right inhibitor
  • Severity of attack: Low or high degree
  • Temperature: Under which formation will and will not deposit.
  • pH: The inhibitors perform less effectively in a low or high-pH environment.
  • Weather: How we can use inhibitor in a cold-climate operation.
  • Chemical compatibility: For example, the scale inhibitor must be compatible with other treatment chemicals such as: Oxygen scavengers, corrosion inhibitors, and biocides.
  • Viscosity:  It is important because it depends on environment (onshore/offshore)
  • Method of use: We have required different remediation techniques such as:  Sulfate ion sequestering from sea injection waters, chemical or mechanical scale removal/dissolution….
