Stimulation
Chemistry performance for demanding stimulation environments
Enabling effective and controlled stimulation treatments
Stimulation treatments are carried out under high temperature and chemically complex conditions that place strict demands on fluid systems. Additive performance influences treatment placement, rock-fluid interactions, tubular integrity, and the transition back to stable production.
We work with stimulation fluid formulators and oilfield service companies in stimulation applications where chemistry performance has a meaningful impact on treatment quality and production outcomes. Our stimulation chemistries are engineered to perform under realistic bottomhole temperatures, varying brine quality, and multi component fluid formulations, helping support consistent, predictable operations.
Our stimulation portfolio focuses on chemical performance, compatibility, and robustness in complex fluid systems. This performance-driven foundation is delivered through a set of key functions that enable reliable and consistent application outcomes.
• Optimize treatment placement and rock-fluid interaction
during acidizing and matrix stimulation
• Protect tubulars and maintain treatment integrity
throughout stimulation operations
• Reduce post-treatment emulsion risk by controlling oil-
water interfacial behavior
• Maintain fluid performance across varying brine
compositions and water qualities
• Minimize operational risk by coordinating chemistries
across acidizing, diversion, and post-treatment cleanup

Key functions of our stimulation chemistry
Specialty surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and delayed-release acid systems that support reliable acidizing and fracturing performance in demanding wells.
Viscoelastic surfactant systems that deliver controllable viscosity and self-diversion under high-temperature, high-shear conditions, with cleaner flowback.
Chelating fluids that restore near-wellbore permeability by dissolving damage, fines, and scale in sandstone and carbonate formations.
Surfactant-based gelling agents and emulsifiers that give acid systems the viscosity and stability needed for fracturing and diversion.
Stimulation chemistries must perform reliably under conditions that differ significantly from laboratory baselines. Our focus is on:
This helps support stimulation treatments that not only achieve their immediate objectives, but also transition more smoothly into stable production, with reduced risk of chemistry‑related issues.
Stimulation does not end when pumping stops. Residual additives and treatment by‑products move into the production system and can influence separation, corrosion, and produced water handling, such as:
• Interactions of stimulation and production additives,
e.g., demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors
• Effects on separation efficiency and produced
water treatment
• Regional and regulatory requirements, i.e., OSPAR,
REACH, TSCA, where applicable
By considering these interactions upfront, our goal is to help customers reduce the risk of downstream issues, support more consistent production, and maintain alignment with regulatory and operational requirements.
