Surfactants
Advanced Chemistry to Enhance Fluid Control
Surfactants act as a bridge between the many interactions of oilfield water and chemistry. We develop custom formulations to address the unique properties of each well and to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.
Water Experts
When choosing a surfactant package, it is critical to have a complete understanding of the base fluid. Increases in produced water recycling requires a more vigorous analysis. This means evaluating surfactants for multiple incoming sources and their corresponding KPIs.
Our Select Water teams operate numerous large-sale treatment facilities across the US. Expertise in the logistics, automation, and operation of these facilities greatly improve our ability to provide value in terms of water treatment chemistry.
Applications

-
Emulsion Control
Stabilizing emulsions to control solids transport, minimize formation damage, and enhance oil recovery.
-
Scale and Corrosion
Evaluating surfactants for scale and corrosion inhibition can reducing damaging exposure to equipment, particularly for produced water applications.
-
Formation Penetration
Improving the pathway to access hydrocarbons deep in the microscopic fractures of the formation.
Other functions include Acid Stimulation, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Foamers, and Defoamers.
