Targeted chemicals for Stimulation applications

Our Oilfield Chemicals from BASF offer a targeted portfolio of specialty chemicals designed to support and enhance the stimulation process. Stimulation treatments are carried out to enhance or restore the productivity of a well. The increased productivity results from new flow channels from which natural gas and oil can be recovered from the targeted formation. Acidizing Acid treatments can be used to stimulate carbonate and sandstone wells. BASF Oilfield Chemicals offer a selection of products for use in this application, including a biodegradable alternative acid to HCL, corrosion inhibitors, gelling agents and scale dissolvers. Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping a fluid downhole at high pressure high to create a fracture in the formation rock. Chemistries involved in hydraulic fracturing generally includes specially engineered fluids that are comprised of a carrier fluid (usually water or brine) and, among others, a specialty polymer which helps reduce flow turbulence and the amount of horsepower needed to complete the pumping job. When treatment is complete and the fracture closes, the etched surface provides a high conductivity path from the reservoir to the wellbore.
