Commodity Chemicals

1. Methanol: Methanol is used as a commodity chemical in the oil and gas industry for applications such as gas hydrate inhibition, as a solvent for natural gas, and for de-icing pipelines. It is produced in large quantities and serves several general purposes.
   
   
2. Hydrochloric Acid: Hydrochloric acid is commonly used in the oil and gas industry for well stimulation and acidizing processes. It’s produced in significant quantities and is a standard chemical for such applications.
   
   
3. Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide): Caustic soda is used in various applications, including pH adjustment Offshore Works and the removal of impurities from oil and gas streams. It’s widely available and produced in bulk for industrial use.

1. Demulsifiers: Demulsifiers are specialized chemicals used to break down emulsions in oil and water separation processes. They are customized for specific crude oil types and processing conditions.
   
   
2. Corrosion Inhibitors: Corrosion inhibitors are tailored to protect oil and gas infrastructure from corrosion. They are formulated to address specific environmental conditions and materials.
   
   
3. Polymer Flooding Agents: Polymers used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, such as polymer flooding, are specialized chemicals. They are designed to improve the flow of oil in reservoirs and require customization for each field’s unique characteristics.
   
   
4. Drilling Fluid Additives: Some additives used in drilling fluids, such as shale inhibitors or viscosifiers, are specialized chemicals. They are engineered for specific drilling conditions and formations.
   
   
5. Scale Inhibitors: Scale inhibitors used to prevent mineral scale deposition in oil and gas production equipment are specialized chemicals. They are designed based on the specific types of scale that need to be controlled.
