Contact Chemicals has developed a range of Demulsifiers designed to enhance the removal of water and solids from the oil and gas as it passes through the various processes of the production systems. Demulsifiers are applied both by continuous injection or batch treatment application. Your representative will test to determine the most effective product for your application Demulsifiers-BatchTreating Batch treating or Knockout demulsifiers are designed to work on a broad range of oils and a wide spectrum of treating ranges. These demulsifiers are designed to break up interfacial pads in treaters by destabilizing the iron products or byproducts, clays, solids or precipitated paraffins. Demulsifiers Continuous Injection

These products are designed and formulated to the specific oil and production systems at each location. The Demulsifier must remove the water and solids from the oil and obtain clean water in the time determined by the treating system. To evaluate the products currently in our product line or to formulate a new product, fresh produced fluids must be obtained with testing normally done on site. Biocide and Water Clarifiers The presence of bacteria in oil and gas production can cause corrosion in all areas of the production equipment. Treating problems due to slime pads in treaters or free water knockouts is also common if bacterial contamination goes untreated. Contact Chemicals have a REGISTERED Cocodiamine based biocide that is effective in controlling aerobic, anerobic and acid producing bacteria. This product can be applied down

hole, into production tanks and equipment and for water floods. It is effectively applied by the batch treatment method or by continuously injected. A kill study is done prior to treatment to determine the treatment dosage. Other products such as Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach), Gluteraldehydes Quaternary Amines or Diamines can be used to control bacteria if it is found that the bacteria have grown resistant to the Cocodiamine based product. Water clarifiers Are used in oil and gas treating systems if the water is contaminated with solids. These solids may include formation clays, sands, precipitated scales or iron sulfides. Normally sequestering agents or flocculants are applied to the produced water to clean or floc (increase particle size) to aid in settling the particles to the bottom of the water tanks.

Corrosion Inhibitors Contact Chemicals have developed a variety of Corrosion Inhibitors designed to protect facilities from all types of corrosive environments. Corrosion can occur through out a production system from the wellbore to the gas or oil sales lines. The most common types of corrosion found in the Oil and Gas industry are caused by salt water (brine), hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and organic acids.

Corrosion / Scale Inhibitors This type of combination products can be utilized if both corrosion and scale problems are occurring in a system. This normally occurs downhole. Depending on the dynamics of the production, we have both

oil and water soluble products available to effectively protect from corrosion as well as scaling caused by carbonate, sulfide and sulfate deposition. Both the water and oil based types are most effective if applied by continuous injection. They also provide protection if applied by frequent batch application. Products can be applied in both sweet and sour environments. Corrosion Inhibitors - Continuous Injection Continuous injection type Corrosion Inhibitors are primarily designed to prevent corrosion in water systems, mainly in vessels, water injection systems, flowlines and pipelines. These products are normally blends of quaternary amines or quaternary ammonium compounds and low foaming surfactants. These inhibitors are very effective in both sweet and sour producing systems. Methanol Corrosion Inhibitors These products are specifically formulated to be used either as a Methanol inhibitor or to be injected into flowlines or gathering systems that contain large amounts of Methanol. These products are very effective protecting metal from corrosion due to acid gases and salt brines. Corrosion Inhibitors - Batch Application Batch type corrosion inhibitors are formulated to spread evenly on the exposed metal and to provide a tenacious film, protecting the metal from its corrosive environment. Normally these products are oil soluble and are composed of dimmer acids, imidazolines and surfactant type demulsifiers. By batching down a well this corrosion inhibitor can protect the casing, tubing, pump and flowlines. When batched into flowlines it is normally diluted with hydrocarbon based oils or fuels and placed between two pigs.

Annular Corrosion Inhibitors These corrosion inhibitors are designed to protect exposed metal from oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and organic acids. Contact Chemicals also has available a nonregulated Environmentally friendly packer fluid inhibitor.

Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers are available for use in bubble towers or for continuous injection application. These products are designed with scavenging surfactants, made to react quickly with the hydrogen sulfide gas and to form a water soluble byproduct that can be disposed of into any registered water disposal system. oxygen Scavengers Oxygen scavengers are used in the oilfield industry at any location where any dissolved oxygen is detected. Dissolved oxygen can be highly corrosive and can cause severe corrosive damage in production equipment. Oxygen can be introduced into produced fluids in many ways but the most common would be by the introduction of source water, recycle pumps or trucked in fluids.

Paraffin & Ashphaltene Paraffin and Asphaltene, when precipitated out from produced liquids will accumulate and deposit on downhole tubing or in flowlines. Extreme deposition will cause flow restriction or total plugging. Contact Chemicals carry Paraffin and Asphaltene treatment chemicals including Solvents, Dispersants and Inhibitors or Pour Point Depressants. Testing

will be done to ensure the most effective product will be applied for your application Paraffin Asphaltene Solvents Paraffin and Asphaltene solvents are a unique blend of Aromatic and Aliphatic solvents. Solvents are normally applied by a batch application to dissolve precipitated paraffin and Asphaltene from accumulations in downhole equipment, flowlines, or tanks in both oil and gas systems. Paraffin Asphaltene Dispersants The unique formulas are designed to attack and penetrate deep into the precipitated particle as well as to destroy the binding property between the particles allowing the particulate to be dispersed back into the fluid production. Dispersants are blended in aromatic solvents and are designed to be applied by continuous injection. Contact Chemicals have a variety of products that are effective in both oil and gas processes. . Paraffin Asphaltene Inhibitors Paraffin and Asphaltene Inhibitors or crystal modifiers are products that are designed to prevent the particles from binding together, attaining such weight where they would precipitate out of the produced fluids. The application of Inhibitors are normally the most cost effective method of mitigating paraffin or asphaltene problems in oil and gas systems. Scale Inhibitors Scale Inhibitors are necessary to prevent the precipitation and deposition of various scales in or on production equipment. Scales form when the physical condition of the water containing the ions change, therefore lowering the solubility. Physical changes may include pressure changes, temperature change or a change in pH. The most common types of scale found in the oil and gas industry are composed of calcium, strontium,

barium and iron compounds. Phosphate Esters, Phosphonates or Acrylic Polymers are commonly used to prevent scale deposition. These inhibitors can be applied throughout a production system and can be formulated to be applied in high temperature environments. Scale Inhibitors must be present at all times in the produced fluids in order to prevent deposition. Contact Chemicals offer products that can be applied by continuous injection, batch and by squeeze. Scale Corrosion Inhibitors Combination Scale/Corrosion Inhibitors can be used when both corrosion and scaling are a problem and the dynamics of the well only allow for one injection point. Contact Chemicals provides both oil and water soluble products. The oil soluble products provide corrosion protection by filming the exposed metal and by inhibiting the water to provide protection from carbonate, sulfate and sulfide scale deposition. These products can be applied by continuous injection or by batching. The water soluble products inhibit the water as well as provide protection from carbonate and sulfate scales. Both products can be applied to sour and sweet oil and gas systems.
