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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
WTW-931 was developed in 2006 by Imperative. This extremely cost-effective, proprietary chemistry has been used across the United States in all types of completions, production, and water treating. WTW-931 has been utilized to eliminate and control downhole iron sulfide caused by biomass and MIC, FeS interfacial pads, water clarification in SWD’s and produced water reuse, and low level H2S scavenging.
