Specialty Oilfield Chemicals
Oil chemicals are used in drilling and
exploration of gas and oil to improve these
operations by improving the efficiency and
productivity of the oil drilling process.

Demulsifier

• Demulsifiers (divided into oil soluble and water
  soluble demulsifiers) are used to separate oil
  and water in the oilfield.

• Demulsifier is important to separate the oil
  from the water so as to purify it, as well as to
  reduce the corrosion of the pipelines and
  containers ferrying the oil.
• Demulsifiers work by causing changes in density
  of the oil, causing easier separation of the two
  chemicals while at the same time reducing the
  corrosion of the pipelines which might lead to
  higher maintenance costs of equipment.
• Corrosion of the pipelines in the oilfield will
  lead to losses and higher maintenance costs.
• Corrosion in the pipelines in an oilfield can be
  caused by attack of oxygen, carbon dioxide or
  hydrogen sulphide. It can be reduced by corrosion
  inhibitors.

Corrosion Inhibitors

• Corrosion inhibitors are the chemicals that help
  prevent the corrosion of pipelines that are used
  to transport the oil in the oilfield.
• Corrosion is mainly caused by oxygen in the
  oilfield, and since water contains oxygen,
  corrosion inhibitors are necessary to absorb the
  oxygen in the water oil emulsions.

5
Surfactants

• Types of surfactants, below are some of the
  surfactants and their Applications
• Ethoxylates
• Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate
• Fatty Acid Ethoxylate
• Fatty Amines Ethoxylate

6
Ethoxylates
These are produced from the ethoxylation
processes. In the textile industries, the
ethoxylates are used for scouring, lubricating,
finishing and dying of the fabrics.
7
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate
These range from clear yellowish liquids to wax
solids, depending on their length of the alkyl
chain. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are used for
scouring and emulsifying in the textile industry.
They are also used in dye leveling and as wetting
agents. The major function of fatty alcohol
ethoxylates is emulsification.
8
Fatty Acid Ethoxylate
They are used as non ionic surfactants in a
number of processes in the textile industry.
Fatty acid ethoxylates are used as emulsifiers,
water softeners, wetting agents and as spin dying
agents.
9
Fatty Amines Ethoxylate
They are good oil emulsifiers, and dye
dispersants. They are also good as wetting
agents. Fatty amine ethoxylates are important in
the textile industry in for they act as fiber
lubricants and also as dying agents.
