Production Chemistry Step Change for Deepwater Applications

To successfully mitigate production threats and assure flow, a production chemical must provide both high functionality and high activity. SLB Production Chemistry has developed and patented a pioneering dendritic technology that provides these properties, which in turn reduce the quantity of chemicals required and the cost of treatment for our customers. A dendrimer is a hyperbranched polymer that is a large, stable molecule with inherent low viscosity. This makes it ideal for developing highly effective, cost-efficient solutions across conventional, subsea, deepwater, and unconventional applications. It has been proved ideal for multifunctional, high-concentration products for delivery via long umbilical cables. We’ll review a couple of case studies in the North Sea that highlight the use of dendrimer technology in a demulsifier that enhances oil dehydration and a paraffin inhibitor that treats problem waxy condensates in extreme production environments.
