Oilfield chemicals play a significant role in the oil and gas industry. Most common oilfield
chemicals used by the industry are organic chemicals and solvents, surfactants, transition metal
compounds, inorganic salts, water-soluble and oil-soluble polymers. These chemicals control
the bacterial growth, foam & wax formation and corrosive action in oils and gases. Drilling
additives is one of the major applications in the oilfield chemicals market.
Chemical formulations used for multiple functions in oil processing are termed as oilfield drilling
additives. The additive technologies excel with emulsification and thinning or dispersion of oilbased muds. They help to create proper fluid weighting to balance pressure formation and
optimize fluid flow. Other functions include maintaining strong boundary lubrication films in
silicate-based mud systems specialized for shale drilling, which is done by lubricating agents.
Other functions include wettability, dispersant, detergency and clay stabilization. Selection
criteria of drilling additives require careful consideration of several aspects, such as pressures
and temperatures, rock composition, well design, protection of the producing zone, reservoir
chemistry, and environmental regulations. The focus is on performance, temperature stability
and tolerance of products from contamination for drilling fluid systems.
While there are many types of components and additives currently being used in the industry,
usually the classification of...
