How we support stimulation operations

Our stimulation portfolio supports acidizing and hydraulic fracturing in high-temperature, high-pressure and extended-reach wells while protecting assets and formation integrity. Explore our key functions below.

Supporting acidizing and hydraulic fracturing in demanding wells

Stimulation treatments run under high-temperature, chemically complex conditions that place strict demands on fluid systems. Additive performance influences treatment placement, formation damage, tubular integrity and the cleanup that follows.

We support oilfield service companies that formulate stimulation fluids. Our chemistries are engineered for elevated temperatures, challenging brine and crude systems, and multicomponent formulations, supporting predictable performance across the treatment.

  • Support uniform treatment placement and controlled wormhole development in acidizing and matrix stimulation
  • Protect tubulars and downhole equipment with corrosion inhibition and low-corrosion fluids
  • Support clean flowback and help prevent emulsions and sludge after treatment
  • Maintain fluid performance in challenging brine and crude systems

Our stimulation chemistry

  • Acidizing and fracturing additives Surfactants, chelating agents and biocides that support iron control, corrosion inhibition, emulsion control, sludge prevention and flowback. Delayed acidizing systems release acid gradually for deeper penetration in high-temperature wells.
  • Viscosifiers and diverting agents Non-damaging viscoelastic surfactant systems that deliver controllable viscosity without polymer residue. Used for diversion in carbonate and sandstone acidizing and as viscosifiers in hydraulic fracturing, they break down during flowback without leaving residue in the formation.
  • Matrix stimulation fluids and scale dissolvers Low-corrosion chelating fluids that stimulate carbonates with predictable wormhole propagation, dissolve damaging particles in sandstones and remove stubborn scales such as barite.
  • Acid gelling agents and emulsifiers Surfactant-based gelling agents that provide viscosity and thermal stability for acid fracturing and diversion without polymer-related formation damage, plus acid emulsifiers for stable emulsified acid systems.

Designed for demanding downhole conditions

Our stimulation chemistries are developed with downhole realities in mind:

  • Stable performance at elevated temperatures in acidizing, diversion and fracturing
  • Viscoelastic surfactants for use from 75°F to 350°F (24°C to 177°C), depending on grade, with winterized options for extreme cold
  • Compatibility and application testing across acids, brines, crude oils and completion materials

This allows service companies to formulate robust stimulation fluids that protect asset integrity and reduce post-treatment risk.

Connecting stimulation to production

Stimulation does not end when pumping stops. Residual additives and treatment by-products move into the production system, where they can affect separation, corrosion and produced water handling. Our portfolio covers both sides of that handover, from stimulation additives to the demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and water treatment chemistries used downstream.

Many of our oilfield chemistries align with regional regulatory requirements, including OSPAR, REACH and TSCA where applicable. Contact us to confirm which products meet the requirements for your region.

Related applications

  • Production chemistries Demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, water management and flow assurance solutions that support separation, asset integrity and water handling through the life of the well.
  • Drilling and completion chemistries Mud, cementing, completion and cleaning chemistries that support fluid stability, rheology control and wellbore integrity from spud to completion.
