Oil Chem Technologies has been actively involved for over 15 years in developing innovative surfactants for chemical enhanced oil recovery and their applications in the field. More than 60 million pounds of low concentration surfactant and more than 30 chemical EOR field projects have been successfully implemented worldwide during this time. These projects include ASP, SP, low surfactant concentration water flood, cold heavy oil recovery, biodegradable microemulsion for unconventional gas shale fracturing and green aromatic solvent replacement.
Oil Chem’s surfactants have the following advantages:

• Innovative, patented surfactants and IOR processes

• Custom designed surfactants and processes for specific needs

• Low concentration ( 0.05 - 0.3% as is) required

• One component system. No co-surfactant, solvent and salinity optimization required

• Economical, effective and field proven

• Complimentary surfactant evaluation and development

• Both petroleum based and bio based surfactants available

• Continuing evolving new technology based on feedback from the field

• Emphasis on return on investment

• Worldwide manufacturing partners

• Local manufacturing and partnership available

Oil Chem Technologies was designated as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States for the past three years in a row. It was number 38 of all US companies in 2009 based on the INC. 500 survey and was ranked No. 2 in the energy area. Oil Chem Technologies also has many patented and patent pending products exclusively for chemical EOR. Some of the recently issued patents are listed in Table 1.
