Stock in Lubbock, experience in the field
Guardian keeps oilfield chemistry in stock at our Lubbock location. Texas accounts are handled by a senior Guardian leader with decades of industrial experience, who is regularly in the region working with operators and service companies.
Guardian has manufactured specialty chemistry since 1960, with US blending plants in Georgia and Florida, and a lab that characterizes deposits before a program is designed.
Stocked product ships from Lubbock on standard trucking, so West Texas delivery runs on normal transit times from inside the region.

What Happens When You Request a Recommendation
A Guardian industrial cleaning specialist will contact you to understand your application, your deposit, and your cleaning challenges.
Our team will review your deposit, surface, and operating conditions — and if needed, our lab will test your soil to identify the most effective chemistry.
We’ll provide a product recommendation, application guidance, and a quote — with no obligation to proceed.
If the solution makes sense for your operation, we’ll arrange supply, provide application training, and support you from day one.
Paraffin, asphaltenes and sludge each need their own chemistry
West Texas production brings paraffin that drops out as fluids cool, wax and asphaltene deposition in gathering lines, and sludge that builds in disposal wells and tanks until injection rates fall. Each restricts flow in a different way, and a product that clears one can leave the others in place.
Guardian starts with the deposit and the system, confirms what it is in the lab, then sets the chemistry, placement and dosage around your flow rates and pipe materials.
Heat is a handling issue in West Texas. Store solvent-based products away from heat sources, respect their flash points, and keep containers closed in summer yard temperatures.
Where to start for common West Texas problems
- Disposal well sludge and low injection rates: at a West Texas disposal facility idle for more than 35 years, HotSoss treatment more than doubled disposal throughput to 7,200 bbl/day, cut discharge pressure 14%, and recovered enough saleable oil from tank sludge to cover the cost of the job.
- Wax and asphaltene deposition in gathering lines: on a refinery-fed Texas gathering system, a Flowsol program extended pigging intervals and cut pig-trap solids sent for disposal by 70% in the first six months. The program was then adopted across 12 similar systems.
- Remote, spread-out assets: Guardian has run chemical programs end to end for a midstream gathering network, managing tank levels, top-ups and pump rates, and restoring dosing within hours when pumps or controls failed.

Frequently Asked Questions: Oilfield Chemicals in West Texas
Yes. Guardian’s Texas stocking location is in Lubbock, and we have a sales office in Dallas.
A senior Guardian leader with decades of industrial experience, who is regularly in the region working with operators and service companies.
We identify the deposit first. At one West Texas disposal facility, a heated HotSoss treatment downhole followed by acid, plus a HotSoss tank cleanup, more than doubled throughput to 7,200 bbl/day and cut discharge pressure 14%.
Paraffin drops out when produced fluids cool below their wax appearance temperature, often in flowlines and surface equipment. Asphaltenes destabilize with changes in pressure, temperature or crude blending. The right program depends on which you have, so we characterize the deposit before recommending treatment.
Often. 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 six months.
Yes. Guardian’s BrightShield tank cleaning programs combine sludge removal with H2S and iron sulphide control. In one published job, H2S was eliminated and mercaptans cut 77%.
Yes. In the United States, Guardian operates as Guardian Chemicals USA, with a Lubbock stocking location, a Dallas sales office and blending plants in Georgia and Florida. Guardian Chemicals has been in business since 1960, with affiliated operations in the United States since the 1990s.
Keep containers closed and out of direct sun where you can, store solvent-based products away from heat and ignition sources, and follow the flash point and storage guidance on the safety data sheet. Ask us if you are unsure about a specific product.
Stocked product ships from our Lubbock location on standard trucking, so transit is measured from inside the region. Product that has to be blended runs on our regular production lead time. Call and we will confirm a date before committing.
