Used to improve the drilling process by stabilizing the wellbore, controlling pressure, and lubricating.

Categorized as specialty chemicals, they are added to prevent corrosion in pipelines and equipment.

Prevents the formation of scale deposits in pipelines and on production equipment which can decrease flow and increase pressure.

Used to break down the viscosity of fracturing fluids to ensure flowback after hydraulic fracturing operations.

Added to the water to prevent the growth of bacteria which can cause souring of reservoirs and corrosion of equipment.

Used to separate water from oil in the produced fluids to enhance the quality of the crude oil.

Help to prevent the deposition of paraffin waxes in the wellbore and production equipment, which can clog pipelines.

Prevent the precipitation and aggregation of asphaltene particles, which can occlude oil passages and reduce production.

Applied to prevent the formation of gas hydrates that can plug pipelines and cause flow assurance issues.

Chemicals that remove dissolved oxygen from fluids to prevent oxidative corrosion in pipelines and storage tanks.

Used to increase the viscosity of drilling fluids to improve the lifting of cuttings and maintaining well control.

Added to fracturing fluids to decrease the friction pressure during hydraulic fracturing operations.

Act to lower the surface tension allowing for better displacement of oil and thus enhanced oil recovery.

Deployed to create a gel-like substance in reservoirs, used in conformance control to block water paths and improve oil recovery.

Added to drilling fluids to reduce or prevent foam formation which can lead to poor drilling performance.

These materials are utilized to combat lost circulation by plugging the zones where the drilling fluids are being lost.

Used to reduce the surface tension of water-based mud systems and improve the drilling performance.

Introduced in air or gas drilling operations to stabilize the foam which helps in lifting cuttings from the wellbore.

Used to aggregate fine particles in drilling muds, making them easier to remove during mud treatment and recycling.

Materials like barite added to drilling mud to control formation pressures and stabilize the wellbore.

Fluids containing acids used in well stimulation to dissolve deposits and improve permeability for enhanced oil recovery.

Used to prevent shale in the wellbore from swelling and disintegrating, thereby maintaining wellbore stability.

Help to prevent or resolve the formation of liquid hydrocarbon condensates that can reduce production efficiency.

Applied to keep paraffin wax particles in suspension, preventing deposition along the flow path in pipelines.

Used in hydraulic fracturing to keep fractures open and facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons to the wellbore.

Included in drilling fluids to control fluid loss into permeable formations and maximize fluid efficiency.

Chemicals that lower the pour point of crude oil allowing it to flow at lower temperatures.

Agents that help in forming emulsions, particularly water-in-oil, to carry cuttings and stabilize mud properties.

Chemical compounds that react with and remove hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas, from production streams.

Added into fracturing fluids to prevent clay swelling, which can decrease the permeability and porosity of the reservoir.

Prevent and remove iron deposits from the wellbore and treatment facilities, which can cause blockages and corrosion.

Used to reduce torque and drag in drilling operations, facilitating easier turning and movement of the drill string.

Chemicals involved in creating crosslinked gels for use in hydraulic fracturing, enhancing the fluid's viscosity and proppant carry capacity.

Chemicals that are used to adjust and stabilize the pH level of drilling fluids and fracturing fluids.
