Antifoams
Foaming occurs in crude oil formations due
to various factors such as pressure changes,
occurrence of contaminants and presence of
bore mud, sand deposits and wax. Foam in
the crude oil can lead to poor well
production, cavitation problems in pump,
poor separation, loss in pumping efficiency,
and irregular fluid flow. Antifoams
combine with the nucleation sites of the
contaminants and reduce foam generation.

Asphaltene control
Asphaltenes occur as stable colloidal
substances in the crude oil. They have
high polarity and their precipitation
occurs in various aspects of production
and transportation. They are caused by;
drops in pressure, fluctuating PH,
unstable flow or shear flow and presence
of carbon dioxide. Asphaltenes cause
formation of heavy emulsions in the
crude tanks, which eventually reduces
recovery of oil and blockage of pipelines.

Biocides
Microbial contamination is bound to occur in various stages of the oil
production process and their presence can cause interference in oil production
process. Some bacteria in oil production include;

Slime producing sessile bacteria,

Sulphate altering bacteria; causes contamination of the oil well leading blocked
oil production ,and reduce water penetration in clearance wells.

It is important for oil producers to prevent establishment of bacterial colonies and
they are impossible to clear. Biocides are important for checking the growth of
these tough bacteria and ensure no biofilms are formed.

Corrosion Inhibitors
Corrosion is one of the biggest
problems in oil production and must be
managed with appropriate caution. It
leads to deterioration of piping systems,
storage tanks, and faster equipment
degradation. Corrosion inhibitors are
critical in oil production to maintain
equipment integrity as much as
possible.

Drag Reducers
Development of high frictional
pressure in the pipes of crude oil
leads to poor pumping efficiency
and possible pump failure. Drag
reducers lessen the turbulence in
the pipe thus enhancing the flow
rate and increasing the pumping
efficiency.

Emulsion Breakers
When oil and water are forced to mix,
emulsions develop, which interfere with
the crude pumping process. Emulsion
breakers target the boundary /interface
between the oil and water and create a
strong film that prevents coalescing of the
droplets to form larger droplets and break
the emulsion.

Hydrogen Sulphide Scavengers
Bacterial action of sulphate reduction
causes occurrence of hydrogen sulphide
gas. This gas causes severe corrosion of gas
and crude pipes causing leakages and
failure in production. This process can be
prevented by creation of an inhibiting layer
using the hydrogen-sulphide scavengers.
