Chemistry For Energy

Get Started

Chemistry that redefines the way the world extracts energy.

Application Areas

Stimulation

Hydraulic fracturing is a water-intensive process that relies on chemical additives to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. Our high-performing polymer solutions provide economic, environmental and operational benefits. With strategically located manufacturing, combined with rail transloading, in-basin storage and last mile delivery in all major basins in North America, we are able to get our products to our customers efficiently and cost-effectively

cEOR

The choice of chemicals is critical to the overall success of an enhanced oil recovery operation. Our strong R&D capabilities ensure that the appropriate polymer properties are captured for optimal injectivity and sweep efficiency, considering the operating environment and reservoir conditions. By combining our high-quality chemicals with equipment and field services, you get the flexibility and maximum efficiency that your operations need.

Oil Sands Tailing

The extraction of viscous bitumen involves water-intensive processes where maximum efficiency is required. Our holistic approach to oil sands tailings management combines innovative chemistries, equipment and technical field services to offer a total chemical management solution. In collaboration with our customers, we identify new approaches to improve tailings treatment efficiency and accelerate the reclamation process.

Production

Maintaining production and improving operating profitability relies on effective chemical solutions. Our innovative chemical solutions enable you to extend the life of your well and minimize operating costs. With our application expertise and broad product portfolio for water treatment, we can help you treat produced water for reuse or disposal to meet operational and environmental targets.

Drilling

Drilling mud composition directly contributes to the condition and life of an oil or gas well. Our additives for oil and water-based muds are designed to complement and enhance the performance of our customers’ mud systems, enabling minimum non-production time and improved well performance. Our product portfolio contains polymers designed for a wide range of reservoir and operating conditions.

Water Management

Water management in the oil and gas industry is of growing priority for oil sands mining, stimulation, production and drilling operations. Maximizing water quality for discharge or reuse is often a critical element in meeting the environmental requirements of the process and a key contributor to lowering the total cost of operations. We offer a wide selection of flocculants designed for water and wastewater treatment in oil and gas processes.
