Oil Field Chemicals— Categories
Drilling Fluids
In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also called
drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes
into the earth. Often used while drilling oil and
natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs,
drilling fluids are also used for much simpler
boreholes, such as water wells.
Cementing:
Chemical additives used to cement steel
pipes or casing to the sides of the borehole.
Stimulation chemicals can be used in
fracturing, re-frac, acid stimulation, hot
oil applications, disperse asphaltene and
paraffin to remove the near wellbore
damage and increase the oil production
Oilfield production chemicals have been
categorized as demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors ,
paraffin inhibitors, biocides, H2S scavengers,
hydrate inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, water
clarifiers and defoamers, among others.
