 What are Oilfield Chemicals?

Oilfield chemicals are those which are used in oilfields

to increase the process efficiency, productivity of the
oil and gas drilling operations at oilfields while cost
effectively maximizing the recovery of oil and gas
reserves and minimizing the production and
maintenance costs.
 Types of Oilfield Chemicals

Different kinds of specialty chemicals are used in

oilfields. While few are used to increase efficiency of
operations like oil well drilling and exploration many
are employed for maintenance purposes like protecting
pipelines and equipment from corrosion.
 Types of Oilfield Chemicals

However the two most important kinds of oilfield

chemicals used for achieving oilfield efficiency and
longevity are:

 Emulsion Breakers (Demulsifiers)

 Corrosion Inhibitors
 Emulsion Breakers (Demulsifiers)
Emulsion breakers for oilfield are those specialty chemicals
which can separate out oil and water from the crude oil
water emulsions.

They work through a process of crude oil demulsification

which cause a density change in emulsion making it easier
for separation to occur.

Demulsifiers can efficiently elevate crude oil value for

export while minimizing the operating or maintenance costs
which might be required in case if corrosion takes place.
 Why are Emulsion Breakers (Demulsifiers) used in Oilfields?

Significant quantities of water often get associated with the

oil produced in oilfields either naturally or through injection
during the processes.

This water needs to be separated from the oil to enhance

the properties of oil and prevent corrosion in pipelines
occurring due to presence of water in oil. For this purpose
emulsion breakers or demulsifiers are used.
 How Corrosion occurs in Oilfields?
The oil produced in oilfields often contains water. Acid
gases, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide
(CO2) are also most of the times present in these produced
fluids. Oxygen in water or these gases are the primary
reasons for corrosion in oilfields.

When water mixed oil is transported through pipelines,

rapid condensation of water in a cooler section of the line
takes place and thus a film of water gets formed on the top
of the oil line. This water at the top of the pipe becomes
saturated with acid gases and corrodes the pipe.
 Role of Corrosion Inhibitors

Corrosion inhibitors have an important role to play oilfields

as they prevent corrosion of the oil lines and equipments
and reduce maintenance costs of the oilfields.

Corrosion inhibitors react with the metal surfaces to form

a water-proof film layer on it. This waterproof layer stops
galvanic corrosion occurring through the reactions of
produced oilfield materials and equipments and pipelines.
 Types of Corrosion Inhibitors

There are basically two main categories of corrosion

inhibitors depending on their formulation.

Oil Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors

Water Dispersible Corrosion Inhibitors
