The outlook for special oilfield chemicals in the international market
In a downward oil price cycle, major oilfield service companies are scaling back investments, and the prospects for specialty oilfield chemicals in the international market face a mix of challenges and opportunities.
Corrosion Inhibitor Used in Self-diverting Acid
Conventional corrosion inhibitors exhibit poor compatibility with diverting acids, primarily manifesting as corrosion rates far exceeding those in regular hydrochloric acid and severe degradation of diverting acid viscosity

Offshore Technology Conference 2025
Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is a series of conferences and exhibitions,focused on the exchanging technical knowledge relevant to the development of offshore energy resources, primarily oil and natural gas. It was founded in 1969.
Understanding Oil-Soluble vs. Oil-Dispersible Demulsifiers
Oil-soluble demulsifiers can dissolve completely in oil, forming a uniform mixture. This allows them to mix seamlessly with the oil phase, making them effective for reaching the oil-water interface in emulsions. Oil-dispersible demulsifiers can be evenly distributed in oil but don't dissolve fully, existing as fine particles or droplets. This might affect how they interact with the emulsion compared to soluble ones.
Roles of Isopropanol in Corrosion Inhibitors
The use of isopropanol in corrosion inhibitor formulations must be carefully considered, as its benefits come with considerations like increased flammability and potential evaporation losses. However, when used appropriately, IPA can significantly enhance the performance, applicability, and effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors in the challenging environments of oil and gas operations.
Diverting acid system
A diverting acid system is a specialized fluid used in oil and gas well stimulation to control the flow of acid into specific zones of a reservoir.
