Oil & Gas / Flow Assurance

Flow Assurance Chemicals

Wax, asphaltenes, emulsions and foam all slow production down. We supply the chemistry that keeps lines open and throughput steady.

Overview

Keeping Production Lines Unrestricted

Flow assurance is about preventing the deposits and emulsions that restrict flow between the reservoir and the export line. Wax and asphaltenes build up as crude cools and depressurises; emulsions and foam upset separation; friction limits pipeline capacity.

We supply inhibitors, solvents, demulsifiers and drag reducers for each of these problems, selected against your crude properties and operating temperatures, and backed by field support for dosage optimisation.

Product Range

What We Supply

Each product addresses a specific flow problem. Most fields use a combination.

Wax Inhibitors & Pour-Point Depressants

Modify wax crystal growth so crude keeps flowing at lower temperatures.

  • Wax Inhibitors
  • Pour-Point Depressants (PPD)
  • Paraffin Dispersants

Asphaltene Solvents

Dissolve and disperse asphaltene deposits at the wellhead and downhole.

  • Asphaltene Solvents
  • Asphaltene Dispersants

Drag Reducers

Reduce turbulent friction in pipelines to increase throughput without extra pumping.

  • Drag Reducing Agents (DRA)

Demulsifiers & Antifoams

Separate oil and water cleanly and control foaming in separators.

  • Demulsifiers
  • Reverse Demulsifiers
  • Antifoams / Defoamers

Where It Is Used

Where Flow Assurance Chemicals Go In

Typical injection points from wellhead to export, based on the hydrocarbon production process in our brochure.

Wellhead

Wax inhibitor / PPD and asphaltene solvents dosed at the production wellhead, where cooling and pressure drop begin.

Upstream of the heater

Demulsifier injected ahead of the heater so oil and water separate efficiently downstream.

Separator

Antifoam dosed at the separator to control foaming and protect gas and liquid quality.

Export pipeline

Wax inhibitor / PPD and drag reducer on the oil export line to the refinery to maintain capacity.

Hydrocarbon production process Chemical injection points from the production wellhead through heater, separator, oil export and gas, and through flotation, settling and filtration to the water injection well.
