Oil & gas field chemicals

With experience gained over the last 25 years, Rhodia has secured a growing reputation as an innovative partner for Service Companies supporting the Oil & Gas Industry.

Rhodia is offering a global manufacturing footprint and technical network to support all regional account developments in key technologies including an industry leading position with scale inhibitors in high temperature / high pressure applications, viscosifiers, guar gum and phosphonium biocides.

Rhodia and IFP offer joint services and consulting targeting chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery activities for the petroleum industry. The objective is to offer oil companies solutions adapted to different operating conditions so as to maximize the oil production from reservoirs.

Market segments & Applications for Oil & Gas Fields

Stimulation Chemicals

Rhodia has a range of products ideally matched to the needs of well service companies with an extensive range of water based gelling agents, such as Jaguar® guar gum and Jaguar® guar gum derivatives. We are recognised industry leader in this field and also supply acid, brine and oil based gelling agents. Rhodia has developed Tolcide® PS A-SERIES for the biocidal treatment of water in slick water stimulation. Rhodia also supplies of a broad range of brine and oil stable foaming surfactants such as Rhodapex®, Mirataine® for stimulation and production of oil and gas in depleted reservoirs. Rhodia is also offering the Mackam® product range for gas well dewatering.

Production Chemicals

In support of the changing needs of oil & gas producers Rhodia constantly develop new chemistries addressing modern day challenges.

The Aquarite® range of novel phosphono polymers represents a completely new class of down-hole squeeze scale inhibitors with extended squeeze-life, it complements the Rhodafac® phosphate ester range for top side applications,

The TOLCIDE® PS A-SERIES range of cost-effective and environmentally smart solutionsto maximise oil and gas production from the reservoir while respecting the environment. The new TOLCIDE®productis a rapid acting, powerful microbiocide designed to eliminate bacteria in oilfield waterflood operations, fracturing fluid, in oil and gas production

Rhodia also supplies of a broad range of brine and oil stable foaming surfactants such as Rhodapex®, Mirataine® for workover and completion of oil and gas reservoirs, and the Miramine® range of corrosion inhibitor

Drilling Chemicals

Rhodia has an important position in the manufacture of surfactants, natural and synthetic polymers and biocides that form key additives in the modification of base drilling fluid properties to meet the demands of extreme operating environments.
This expertise is placed at the disposal of leading well service companies helping the industry meet the challenges mentioned above

Cementing Additives

Rhodia has a number of technologies available to Service Companies when they seek to customise cementing slurries for individual well applications. These products include polymers as anti gas migration, fluid loss and viscosity controlling agents, surface active agents for retardation and rheology improvement and surfactants for foamed cement.
Service Companies are actively encouraged to discuss their additive needs with Rhodia technicians particularly in the area of new product development where joint development programs can be of mutual benefit.
