| Audit and Optimization of Oilfield Chemicals |
|
RPS Energy's oilfield chemical optimization service evaluates the performance of existing downhole and surface chemical programs. The cost savings and benefits derived from a chemical audit based on scientific data can be substantial. Our oilfield chemical audits have identified many chemical treatments that were either unnecessary or inappropriate.
Many types of oilfield chemicals are utilized to prevent corrosion; inhibit the deposition of scale, wax, and asphaltene; and control microbial problems. Regular monitoring and adjustments are typically needed to optimise the performance of these costly chemicals due to changes in reservoir and operational conditions. Furthermore, judicious selection of drilling, completion, workover and stimulation fluids is often the key to successful operations and ultimately maximization of well inflow performance. RPS Energy provides a factual, unbiased independent assessment of your current field chemical programs based on fluid analyses and geochemical calculations. From this, we will recommend state-of-the-art practical solutions to alleviate or resolve production problems. Surface Facility Chemicals - Demulsifier

| RPS Energy will work with any laboratory or your choice to evaluate fluid samples, chemical or core properties. This data will be used in our thermodynamic and flow simulators to predict scaling tendency of water and oil. We will also work with your chemical supplier to ensure the chemical expenditures are justified and optimised. |
