About Us...

Oil Chem Technologies continues to provide the industry with innovative ideas, quality products and services since its inception in 1986. Oil Chem Technologies' goal is to develop new products and specialized service for each customer based on their special needs. Oil Chem Technologies is ready to help solve your particular problem as well as provide products for your applications. Oil Chem Technologies' products include:

  1. Alkali Surfactant Polymer (ASP) surfactants
    (US Patent No. 6,022,834)
    Oil Chem Technologies' ASP surfactants, the ORS and ORS HF series, have been widely recognized for their flexibility and high performance. These state-of-the-art IOR surfactants have been successfully applied in Northern China, several fields in North America and have been approved for many potential ASP projects all over the world.

  2. Low Alkali Surfactant Polymer (LASP) surfactants
    LASP surfactants are a new product line that provide the advantages and minimize the disadvantages of the ASP process:

    • Uses less alkali than ASP (0.1 - 0.8%)
    • Reduces the polymer degradation because less alkali is used
    • Reduces the damage caused by the alkali, such as corrosion and scale problems
    • Reduces the total cost of the chemicals and equipment maintenance, etc. by approximately 50%.

  3. Super Surfactants
    The Super Surfactant series provides ultra-low IFT without the need for alkali. They are tolerant to high TDS brines containing high divalent cation concentrations. They can be added at low concentrations (0.02% - 0.2%) along with the water flood in the secondary recovery stage or for tertiary recovery. The Super Surfactants provide savings on alkali, polymer, water treatment, sludge disposal, surface equipment, potential scale formation, equipment maintenance, etc.

  4. Smart Surfactants™ (US Patent Pending)
    The Smart Surfactant System™ is a self-diverting, one component system to provide low IFT and mobility control at the same time. It is salt and divalent cation tolerant, thermally stable process especially suited for low permeability residual oil recovery, water blocking for gas wells or self-diverting injection for IOR. It minimizes the huge up-front investment related to handling equipment. Water treatment and gel hydration units are not required for the process. The Smart Surfactant System™ diverts the injection brine containing the Smart Surfactant™ to locations in the reservoir containing residual oil while by-passing those areas previously saturated with water. It prevents the selective channeling of the injection brine that frequently occurs with waterflooding and surfactant/polymer or alkaline/ surfactant/polymer flooding.

  5. Surfactant Added Water Flood
    Water Flood is commonly used as an economic and effective method in secondary recovery after primary methods have been exhausted. In general, the water flood can remove ~ 20-30% of the residue oil. Low concentration of the surfactant can be added in the water flood to reduce the interfacial tension, increase the capillary number and therefore improve the oil recovery. Surfactant added water flood can also improve the injectivity of the water flood and especially benefit low permeability formations. Oil Chem's surfactants are salt and divalent cation tolerant and water treatment is not required. They can simply be added using an injection pump to the water injection line with minimum equipment requirement and cost.

  6. "Green" delayed gel breaker for fracturing fluid (US Patent Pending)
    DGB-57 is a biodegradable product designed to delay the function of the oxidizing breakers used in fracturing fluid in order to better control the gel break time and prevent the premature gel breaking of the fracturing fluid. The delayed breaking function can be adjusted by varying the concentrations and ratio of the DGB-57 to the oxidizing breakers.

  7. Defoamer for extreme pH and temperatures applications
    NOFOAM 1976™ is a silicone free dispersion of surface modified inorganic silica in mineral oil. It is stable under conditions of extreme pH (<1 - 14) and temperatures > 350 o F. NOFOAM 1976™ combines the best properties of organosilicone and organic based foam control agents.

  8. Wettability altering agents
    OSA-78 and WSA-60 surfactants are used to improve or alter surface wetting properties. Water cuts may also be reduced in oil and gas wells by using these surfactants.

  9. Arylalkyl sulfonates (US Patent No. 6,043,391)
    Raw materials available in the required quantity, consistency and cost are some of the main issues when considering an enlarged field flood. Oil Chem's new arylalkyl sulfonates offer the advantages of consistent quality, low cost, easily manufactured surfactants made from readily available raw materials. They do not require a costly alkylation plant and the process is portable enough to allow the product to be made locally or at a location near the injection site.
