While chemicals are essential for drilling fluids and cementing, their most impactful role today is in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). As oilfields age, conventional methods become less effective, leaving significant amounts of oil trapped underground. EOR techniques use chemical solutions to "coax" this remaining oil to the surface.
One of the most powerful EOR methods is polymer flooding. In this process, a dilute solution of high-molecular-weight polyacrylamide is injected into the oil reservoir. This polymer solution is much more viscous than water, which helps push the oil towards the production wells more efficiently. This can dramatically increase the recovery rate of a field, extending its productive life and unlocking billions of barrels of previously inaccessible oil.
Our portfolio of oilfield chemicals includes advanced polymers specifically engineered for EOR and tertiary recovery projects. These products are designed to withstand the harsh downhole conditions of temperature and salinity, ensuring optimal performance and maximum oil recovery for our clients worldwide.
