Oil and Gas Production Chemicals

Chemistry to improve the efficiency
of your hydrocarbon production

Maintaining Production Rate is Critical

From oil sands mining to SAGD processing to conventional downhole production, we know your operations must maintain peak performance. To do so, you need chemistry to maximize the production of oil and gas. It’s a critical component to help your company avoid suboptimal output and downtime caused by fouled or clogged equipment and pipes. This is an expensive problem to get it wrong. Guardian Chemicals helps you clear out deposits to reduce pressure drops and production inefficiencies everywhere we can.

Frequently Asked Questions about Oil and Gas Production Chemicals

What causes paraffin and asphaltene deposits?

Paraffin drops out of produced fluids as they cool below the wax appearance temperature, often in flowlines and surface equipment. Asphaltenes destabilize with changes in pressure, temperature or crude blending. They look similar in a pipe and need different treatment, which is why we identify the deposit first.

Can chemical treatment restore a disposal well?

Often. At a West Texas disposal facility that had been idle for more than 35 years, a heated HotSoss treatment downhole followed by acid, plus a tank cleanup, more than doubled throughput to 7,200 bbl/day and cut discharge pressure 14%.

Can a flow assurance program extend pigging intervals?

Yes. On a Texas gathering system with wax and asphaltene deposits, a Flowsol program extended pigging intervals and cut pig-trap solids sent for disposal by 70% in the first six months. It was then adopted across 12 similar systems.

How do you handle H₂S and iron sulphide in tanks and vessels?

With scavenging and iron control as part of the cleaning program, monitored throughout. Sourguard neutralizes H₂S and Ferrosol controls iron sulphides.

Do you test the deposit before recommending a treatment?

Yes. Our lab characterizes the deposit, then we bench-test candidate chemistry against it and set dosage and placement around your flow rates, temperatures and pipe materials.

Do you serve US operations?

Yes. Guardian stocks oilfield chemistry in Lubbock, Texas and has a sales office in Dallas, alongside our Canadian operations.

Can you manage the chemical program day to day?

On some sites we do. For one midstream gathering network, Guardian managed tank levels, top-ups and pump rates end to end, and restored dosing within hours when pumps or controls failed.

How do I get started?

Tell us what is restricting flow, or call (800) 661-6544.

What is HotSoss and how does it work?

HotSoss is Guardian’s proprietary well-stimulation and cleaning chemistry, used downhole, in disposal wells and in tanks to break down paraffin, asphaltene and sludge deposits that restrict flow.

Do you supply other products besides production chemicals?

Yes. Guardian also supplies industrial cleaners and degreasers, water treatment programs and engineered cleaning for process equipment, so one supplier can cover the site.
