Selection of Chemicals

Selection of demulsifiers, depressants, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, asphalt, resin and paraffin solvents for oil gathering, transport and treatment system

• Dynamic viscosity tests of the crude and oil-field emulsion.
• Surface tension tests at lube oil/water boundary in the crude.
  
• Compatibility tests for various types of chemicals in oil gathering transport and treatment system.
• Selection and evaluation of most effective demulsifiers, establishing optimum points and conditions of demulsifier injection, chemicals amount, control methods of reactant treatment of oil emulsion.
• Establishing optimum quantity  of injected chemical for high viscosity emulsions transport taking account that  it will affect subsequent oil treatment operations.
• Selection of prevention methods of asphalt, resin, paraffin deposition in pipelines. Selection of paraffin inhibitors, asphalt, resin and paraffin solvents 

Solvent capacity test package developed by Field Studies department

• Process improvement, selection of corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors for pipelines and vessels, and correct amount of injected chemicals
