Even for the most experienced chemists, oilfield chemicals can be complex. Imperative experts simplify product selection and logistics to make it easy to get effective, economical oilfield and pipeline chemicals.

In many types of wet gas and pipeline systems, organic and inorganic deposits, dehydrated alcohols, and chemicals can create situations where compressors and other moving parts need to maintain a higher level of cleanliness. Imperative’s line of antifoulants have been engineered to work in all types of systems across all types of production and transmission.

RESTIMULATION

Oilfield environments favor the growth of anaerobic bacteria, which create many adverse effects in oil and gas systems. These anaerobic bacteria often thrive in oxygen-free systems and, if unchecked, the proliferation of sulfate reducing species can result in numerous well challenges. These challenges include:

  • Microbially influenced corrosion
  • Metal embrittlement
  • Iron sulfide deposits
  • Plugging
  • Decreased injectivity in water flood and disposal systems
  • Generation of H2S

Because complete removal of bacterial populations from producing and injection formations is virtually impossible, the most effective approach is to diminish them and limit further growth through proper chemical application. We develop and manage complete custom treatment programs to negate the effects of bacterial contamination in your production system.

CONSULTING AND OPERATIONS

In many reservoirs, clay is intermingled within the primary formation lithology. These clays will swell with hydration and close off permeability channels and reduce, or even stop, production. Our line of clay stabilizers are designed to eliminate these interactions and prevent the clays from hydrating and swelling while maintaining your production.

Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry approximately $1.4B annually. There are many factors that increase corrosivity within an oil and gas system—chlorides, gasses that bring acid, and oxidation from temperature and pressure changes, etc. That’s why we’ve developed a range of corrosion inhibitors to protect downhole pipes, pumps, pipelines and surface equipment from the wellhead to the gathering station.

  • Microbial, H2S, CO2 and galvanic corrosion
  • Risk to casing, drilling equipment, casing strings and more
  • Leaks which create HSE non-compliance
  • Higher CPEX/OPEX costs via short equipment lifespan

Demulsifiers

In a normal emulsion, water droplets are suspended in the oil phase of the produced fluids. The stability of an emulsion—or the time required for the oil and water to separate—is often dependent upon the solid, paraffin, asphaltene, and organic acid content of the produced fluids.

We have a diverse line of demulsifiers specifically designed to achieve rapid oil-water separation, and we test each site independently to provide a complete analysis of product compatibility and functionality. Our trained representatives will also survey your production and separation systems, making recommendations to provide optimum treatment rates and application sites.
