IPS Production Chemicals Services

IPS offers a wide portfolio of production chemicals with specialized application services to optimize your production operations, improve flow assurance, and protect your assets. We know the task of maintaining efficient and cost-effective production is multi-faceted, and we work with you to develop customized chemical solutions that address your needs.

Our Production Chemicals include:

  • Corrosion Inhibitors: We offer various types of corrosion inhibitors which will protect the wellbores, pipelines, and surface facilities against corrosion to extend the life of the asset and reduce maintenance costs.
    • Oil-Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors
    • Water-Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors
  • Scale Inhibitors: We provide scale inhibitors to prevent mineral scales-such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and strontium sulfate-from forming, which could restrict flow and reduce production, thus damaging equipment.
    • Phosphonates
    • Polymers (e.g., Polyacrylates, Polymaleic Anhydrides)
  • Emulsion Breakers (Demulsifiers): We provide emulsion breakers/demulsifiers to help separate oil/water emulsions and thereby enhance oil recovery, cut processing costs, and boost the efficiency of downstream processing.
    • Oil-Soluble Demulsifiers
    • Water-Soluble Demulsifiers
  • Biocides: We supply biocides to control microbial growth-such as bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and acid-producing bacteria (APB)-which may be responsible for microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), the souring-H2S production, and the plugging of formations and equipment.
    • Glutaraldehyde
    • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
  • Antifoams/Defoamers (Foam Control Agents): Antifoams or defoamers, that prevent or break the formation of foams that could interfere with any production, process, or transportation operation.
    • Silicone-Based Antifoams/Defoamers
    • Oil-based defoamers
  • Hydrate Inhibitors: We provide hydrate inhibitors to prevent the formation of gas hydrates that plug pipelines and equipment, especially in cold environments and deepwater operations.
    • Thermodynamic Hydrate Inhibitors (THIs)
    • Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors
    • Anti-Agglomerants
  • Paraffin Inhibitors/Dispersants: We provide paraffin inhibitors and dispersants to prevent paraffin wax deposition, which can restrict flow, reduce production, and cause operational problems, especially in waxy crude oils.
    • Polymers
    • Solvents
