Products & Services
Oil Field Services
ESP Resources, Inc. acts as manufacturer, distributor and marketer of specialty chemicals and supplies specialty chemicals for a variety of oil field applications including separating suspended water and other contaminants from crude oil, pumping enhancement and cleaning, as well as a variety of fluids and additives used in the drilling and production process. At each well site that is in production, there exists a number of factors that make each site unique. These include the depth of the producing formation, the bottom-hole temperature of the producing well, the size of the well head through which the producing fluids flow, the size and pressure ratings of the production equipment, including the separators, heater-treaters, compression equipment, size of production tubulars in the wellbore, size of the storage tanks on the customers’ location, and pressure ratings of the sales lines for the oil and gas products. Wells that are operating short distances from each other in the same field can have very different characteristics. This variance in operating conditions, chemical makeup of the oil, and the usage of diverse equipment requires a very specific chemical blend to be used if maximum production and well performance is to be attained.
Natural Gas Field Services
For natural gas field services, ESP Resources, Inc. currently has product and field personnel deployed in a variety of natural gas well-sites including shale gas sites. Shale gas is natural gas extracted from shale reserves via either naturally occurring fractures in the shale rock or via the hydraulic fracturing process to enhance the flow process due to the low permeability of shale. Along with tight sandstones, shale gas is often referred to as tight gas due to the low permeability of the rock type. Horizontal drilling also enables the producers to run the borehole along the reservoir for much longer distances, creating a larger surface area in contact with the shale reserve. We currently supply frack chemicals to assist in lowering the volume of contaminants in the wellbore, well flow enhancers to assist in maximizing the amount of gas flow from the well, and corrosion inhibitors to prevent the buildup of corrosion in the surface equipment.
Principal Products
ESP Resources, Inc. currently offers production chemicals, drilling chemicals, waste remediation chemicals, cleaners and waste treatment chemicals as follows:
- Surfactants that are highly effective in treating production and injection problems at the customer well- head
- Well completion and work-over chemicals that maximize productivity from new and existing wells
- Bactericides that kill water borne bacterial growth, thus preventing corrosion and plugging of the customer well-head and flow line
- Scale compounds that prevent or treat scale deposits
- Corrosion inhibitors, which are organic compounds that form a protective film on metal surfaces to insulate the metal from its corrosive environment
- Antifoams that provide safe economic means of controlling foaming problems
- Emulsion breakers, which are chemicals specially formulated for crude oils containing produced waters
- Paraffin chemicals that inhibit and/or dissolve paraffin to prevent buildup (their effectiveness is not diminished when used in conjunction with other chemicals)
- Water clarifiers that solve any and all of the problems associated with purifying effluent water to improve appearance
