Enhanced Oil Recovery

Harcros has spent the last several years focusing on specialty surfactants for EOR applications. The typical Harcros EOR surfactant is capable of reducing interfacial tension at the surface of an oil droplet to ultra-low levels ( < 10-4 dynes/cm). This unique technology is the subject of several, global Harcros patents. The efficacy of these built-for-purpose surfactants stems from the presence of a large hydrophobe, relatively large blocks of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide [(EO)20-45(PO)20-45] and an electrolyte tolerant end-capping group. These Harcros surfactants may be used for both ASP and SP technologies.

Enhanced oil recovery agents are chemicals that improve oil recovery from reservoirs by reducing interfacial tension, improving mobility, and enhancing oil displacement beyond primary and secondary recovery methods.

EOR agents work by reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water, improving the mobility of oil, and enhancing the displacement of oil from reservoir rock, allowing recovery of additional oil.

Flowback aids help improve the recovery of fracturing fluids after hydraulic fracturing operations. They reduce surface tension, improve fluid recovery, and enhance the flow of oil and gas from the well.

Oil and gas operations use various specialty chemicals including defoamers, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, flowback aids, H2S scavengers, and enhanced oil recovery agents. These chemicals improve drilling efficiency, protect equipment, and maximize oil recovery.

H2S scavengers neutralize hydrogen sulfide gas, which is toxic and corrosive. They react with H2S to form stable, non-hazardous compounds, protecting personnel, equipment, and the environment. Our triazine-based scavengers are effective and widely used in the industry.

Triazine-based H2S scavengers are effective chemical compounds that react with hydrogen sulfide to form stable, non-hazardous products. We offer both monomethylamine triazine and monoethanolamine triazine formulations, providing options for different application requirements and conditions.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agents improve oil recovery from reservoirs by reducing interfacial tension, improving mobility, and enhancing oil displacement. These chemicals help extract additional oil that cannot be recovered through primary and secondary methods.

Flowback aids help improve the recovery of fracturing fluids after hydraulic fracturing operations. They reduce surface tension, improve fluid recovery, and enhance the flow of oil and gas from the well, maximizing production efficiency.

Corrosion inhibitors form a protective film on metal surfaces, preventing corrosion caused by harsh conditions in oil and gas operations. They protect pipelines, equipment, and infrastructure, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

Yes, we offer foaming agents specifically designed for oil and gas applications including well stimulation, enhanced oil recovery, and drilling operations. These agents help improve fluid performance and recovery rates in various oil and gas processes.
