Providing Engineered, Cost-Effective Solutions Designed to Optimize Deep Water Production Systems Through Customized Chemical and Mechanical Treatment.
Deep Water Flow Assurance Solutions
Flow assurance solutions begin with a thorough understanding of the production conditions over the expected life of the asset.To gain this in-depth knowledge, Multi-Chem utilizes OLGA®, a modeling tool for multiphase transportation (oil, natural gas, and water), and advanced testing techniques to identify risk and provide mitigation strategies.
Hydrate Risk Management
Low dosage hydrate inhibitor (LDHI) programs are designed to manage the risk caused by hydrates in production systems, such as line restrictions and plugs. Multi-Chem is a leader in LDHI chemistries, utilizing tools like advanced hydrate rocking cells to develop technologies and application methods that are new to the industry and proven in the field.
Paraffin and Asphaltene Management
Multi-Chem paraffin and asphaltene treatment products are focused on preventing and removing organic deposits in production systems and are customized to meet specific deep water production challenges.A specialized paraffin / asphaltene control program designed by Multi-Chem will help manage these flow assurance challenges and keep production systems flowing at optimal levels.
Scale Control
Multi-Chem customizes scale inhibitors to prevent various types of mineral deposition which occur in deep water production operations.Relying on years of water-treating expertise, Multi-Chem subject matter experts analyze the water chemistry in production and injection systems for scaling tendencies and examine any formed deposits to identify scale composition.From there, a specific scale control program is developed that best mitigates scale risk, maintaining the highest levels of production and reducing cost of operations associated with scale cleanup, removal, and disposal.
Deep Water Asset Integrity and Offshore Water Solutions
Corrosion Challenges
Multi-Chem takes the time to fully model the production conditions of your system to truly understand all of the critical parameters that contribute to the corrosion potential of equipment and flowlines.Armed with this information, a specialty chemical solution is implemented which mitigates the corrosion risk found in deepwater systems and continuously monitors system parameters to ensure that equipment remains operating at its fullest potential.
Bacteria and Seawater Flood Management
Multi-Chem knows and understands the importance of a successful bacteria mitigation program.On seawater injection systems the souring of the reservoir can have dire consequences on the economic viability of the asset.Bacteria fouling of the associated infrastructure can create costly equipment failures and noncompliance issues.Multi-Chem is a leader in biocide technology offering a full suite of EPA registered biocides and industry leading, novel microbial control strategies.
Fluid Separation and Water Quality Challenges
In deepwater environments, efficient separation of oil and water is critical to producing sales-quality oil and remaining in compliance with overboard water discharge.Multi-Chem performs an extensive on-site evaluation of separation systems to identify the best combination of chemical and mechanical separation methods.The most cost-effective solution suited for the production conditions is developed to ensure oil sales specifications are met and water discharge is within regulatory compliance.
DeepSEAL™– Deepwater Umbilical Certified Products
Multi-Chem understands the importance of providing certified chemicals meeting the highest standards of quality, cleanliness, and performance for use in deepwater umbilical applications.Products must be designed to withstand extreme temperature and pressure variances over long periods of time.
The DeepSEAL product certification process includes thorough testing of materials compatibility, particulate content, low temperature and high pressure viscosities, and long-term product stability.
