Building partnerships for progress

Nouryon's role in shaping the future of oilfield

Nov 2025

In early November, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC) 2025 will bring together industry leaders, innovators and professionals from around the world. Nouryon will participate in this pivotal gathering, highlighting its commitment to advancing oilfield chemistry and sharing insights to help the sector thrive.

As the global energy landscape evolves, the oil and gas industry finds itself at a crossroads – facing both opportunities and challenges. Market dynamics such as sustained low oil prices, cost pressures on operators and service companies and fluctuating drilling activity are reshaping the sector. In response, Nouryon is leveraging its regional innovation centers and global manufacturing footprint to support customers with agility and resilience.

With over 60 years of experience, Nouryon is a trusted supplier of specialty chemicals for drilling, completion, production and stimulation. With a deep understanding of oilfield complexities, the company delivers high-performance solutions ranging from corrosion control to oil-water separation, all tailored to the unique needs of each operation.

Innovation centers: a collaborative approach

Nouryon recently opened an innovation center for oilfield applications in Houston, Texas, US, strengthening its regional capabilities. This facility focuses on research and development tailored to North American oilfield needs, particularly in drilling, production, and stimulation, and offers workshops and training sessions to foster collaboration with service partners.

Fully operational since this summer, the center features advanced testing capabilities in demulsification, corrosion inhibition, rheology and flow assurance for asphaltene and wax, enabling the development of effective, market-ready solutions.

The Houston center complements Nouryon’s existing innovation hub in Dubai, UAE, which has been instrumental in transforming the oilfield operations across the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. The Dubai center accelerates product development through localized technical services, performance evaluations, and rapid troubleshooting, minimizing downtime and enabling faster delivery of tailored solutions.

With three dedicated innovation centers for oilfield applications—Stenungsund (Sweden), Dubai, and Houston—and manufacturing sites across the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, China, and Singapore—Nouryon is uniquely positioned to address the industry’s evolving challenges while advancing chemical innovation.
