Specialty Oilfield Chemicals

Oil chemicals are used in drilling and exploration of gas and oil to improve these operations by improving the efficiency and productivity of the oil drilling process.

Demulsifier
Demulsifiers (divided into oil soluble and water soluble demulsifiers) are used to separate oil and water in the oilfield.
Demulsifier is important to separate the oil from the water so as to purify it, as well as to reduce the corrosion of the pipelines and containers ferrying the oil. Demulsifiers work by causing changes in density of the oil, causing easier separation of the two chemicals while at the same time reducing the corrosion of the pipelines which might lead to higher maintenance costs of equipment. Corrosion of the pipelines in the oilfield will lead to losses and higher maintenance costs. Corrosion in the pipelines in an oilfield can be caused by attack of oxygen, carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulphide. It can be reduced by corrosion inhibitors.

Corrosion Inhibitors
Corrosion inhibitors are the chemicals that help prevent the corrosion of pipelines that are used to transport the oil in the oilfield. Corrosion is mainly caused by oxygen in the oilfield, and since water contains oxygen, corrosion inhibitors are necessary to absorb the oxygen in the water oil emulsions.

Surfactants
Types of surfactants, below are some of the surfactants and their Applications Ethoxylates Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate

Fatty Acid Ethoxylate


Fatty Amines Ethoxylate

Ethoxylates

These are produced from the ethoxylation processes. In the textile industries, the ethoxylates are used for scouring, lubricating, finishing and dying of the fabrics.

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate

These range from clear yellowish liquids to wax solids, depending on their length of the alkyl chain. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are used for scouring and emulsifying in the textile industry. They are also used in dye leveling and as wetting agents. The major function of fatty alcohol ethoxylates is emulsification.

Fatty Acid Ethoxylate

They are used as non ionic surfactants in a number of processes in the textile industry. Fatty acid ethoxylates are used as emulsifiers, water softeners, wetting agents and as spin dying agents.

Fatty Amines Ethoxylate

They are good oil emulsifiers, and dye dispersants. They are also good as wetting agents. Fatty amine ethoxylates are important in the textile industry in for they act as fiber lubricants and also as dying agents.
