Production Chemistry seeks to protect business value by fully understanding the fluids we process, from reservoir to point of sale. Well and pipeline blockages, corrosion, reservoir souring, poor oil-water separation and contaminants such as mercury and arsenic are all examples of production chemistry issues that can threaten the viability of an asset.
Production chemists seek to collect the best possible fluid data during appraisal, use it to identify potential issues, and then ensure these issues are accounted for in reservoir management, facilities design and operating philosophy.
