Innovating Beyond Commodity Chemistry In the drilling operations, drilling fluids serve several critical functions: preventing formation fluids from entering the wellbore, cooling and cleaning the drill bits, carrying cuttings to the surface, suspending cuttings, and preventing fluid loss. Innospec Oilfield Services (OFS) provides the products, application expertise, and deep understanding of oil and gas production […]
Our production chemical solutions and service offering integrates more than 50 years of experience and product development for one of the most comprehensive production chemical product lines in the industry. Our Oilfield Services (IOS) approach to production chemicals is simple: We help our clients identify reasons for flow impairment and then recommend the most efficient […]
Corrosion affects almost every part of a well’s lifecycle. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a variety of water-soluble and oil soluble corrosion inhibitors that are specially designed for use in wellbore stimulation, workover and production operations. This suite of chemistries is designed to protect the operators’ assets from aggressive forms of H2S, CO2 and general corrosion […]
As operators continue to target high pressure, gas containing zones the need for defoaming agents has become necessary in many plays such as the SCOOP, STACK, and Permian Basin. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a full line of oil and water soluble defoamers to treat gas entrained fluids that typically create the foam that is often […]
Mineral scale deposition occurs from water that is produced along with the hydrocarbons as well as changes in temperature and/or pressure. Left untreated, scale deposits can lead to serious and costly production and equipment related problems. IOS offers a wide variety of scale inhibitor chemistries to prevent the deposition of carbonate and sulfate scales in […]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic and corrosive gas that presents significant safety and operational challenges to the oil and gas industry. In oilfield and refinery applications across the world, high concentrations of H2S are produced making production, handling, transportation and refining unsafe for personnel. There are operational solutions to removing H2S that can be […]
Without a doubt, water is the “lifeblood” of any successful shale well’s development. Water availability, quality and treatment—always of keen operational and economic interest to operators—can be further complicated by such variables as prolonged drought, stringent local regulations, and lower oil and gas prices. From registered biocides to peractic acid, Innospec Oilfield Services offers a […]
During the lifecycle of a pipeline, many types of corrosion can occur. Localized and microbially influenced corrosion are perhaps the most common type of corrosion experienced; however, that is all dependent on the pipelines operating characteristics and the corrosivity of the fluid entrained in the product flowing through the line. Frequent monitoring and field testing […]
CSW-9000 Series Series of water-soluble combination of corrosion and scale inhibitors for pipelines with a high water cut. Formulations are available for high velocity, high CO2 sour, and oxygen-contaminated applications as well as pipelines that exhibit low flow conditions and have the potential for under-deposit corrosion. Products are available for continuous injection as well as […]
In flowlines, gathering and transmission pipelines, deposits such as iron sulfide, iron oxide and organic solids can build up and lead to operational problems that result in a decline in oil and gas flow. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a wide-spectrum of pipeline cleaners for use in both batch and continuous applications to optimize pipeline operations. […]
