Results for tag: "Oilfield Surfactant"

Surfactants are a type of chemical compound used in oilfield operations to reduce surface tension and improve the efficiency of oil extraction. They are used to reduce the viscosity of crude oil, allowing it to flow more easily through pipelines and other equipment. Surfactants also help to reduce the amount of water needed for oil extraction, and can be used to reduce the amount of oil lost during production. Oilfield surfactants are typically composed of a combination of organic and inorganic compounds, and are designed to be compatible with the oil and water present in the oilfield. They are used to reduce the surface tension of the oil, allowing it to flow more easily through the production equipment. They can also be used to reduce the amount of water needed for oil extraction, and to reduce the amount of oil lost during production. Oilfield surfactants are used in a variety of oilfield operations, including drilling, completion, and production. They are used to improve the efficiency of oil extraction, reduce the amount of water needed for oil extraction, and reduce the amount of oil lost during production. Some of the companies in the oilfield surfactant market include AkzoNobel, BASF, Dow Chemical, Evonik Industries, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
