Tailored solutions
Baker Hughes production chemicals
deliver solutions in shale applications.
It would be great if you could find the
sweet spot in shale reservoirs and start
problem-free production. But, that’s
not what happens. You hit the sweet
spot and then experience barriers to
production––hydrogen sulfide (H2S),
paraffin, corrosion, or scale.
We offer complete solutions to help
you maximize shale production including
H2S abatement, paraffin control, scale
and corrosion inhibition, and microbial
control. Our Baker Hughes engineered
solutions service provides on-site training,
consultation, and other services which do
not necessarily have a chemical solution.
We lower the cost of ownership by
increasing equipment reliability, facilitating
transportation of fluids, and providing
solutions that increase production. We
align with your business objectives to
help you manage your assets effectively.
Production characterization studies
performed by our global engineering
teams proactively respond to the
changing conditions of your asset.
Using our extensive knowledge of shale
treating, we can provide a tailored
solution to address your needs. We
work with our customers to identify
potential root causes of a production
problem and employ innovative and
proven application solutions.
Extensive analysis and testing
Our solutions are based on the specific
conditions of your well. We solve your
problems using our TOTAL SYSTEMS
APPROACH™ process to align with
your production objectives.
–– Allows effectiveness and reliability
of solutions to be verified in the
lab before application in the field
–– Provides extensive database of
reservoir conditions for comparison
and selection of the best solution
„„Innovative production chemical solutions
–– Provides extensive toolbox
for production enhancement
• PETROSWEET™ H2S scavengers
• Paraffin control programs
• CRONOX™ corrosion programs
• Scale control programs
• TRETOLITE™ demulsifiers
and water clarifiers
• Smart Care™ environmentally
responsible solutions
Using a worldwide knowledge base; extensive laboratory
facilities in strategic locations; and a comprehensive,
company-wide commitment to research and development,
we can formulate unique products for specific applications.
Our approach is proactive, not reactive. Our analysis
identifies and explains the production problem so we can
mitigate upsets and provide a continuous improvement and
monitoring program. Our solutions stabilize the production
process to maximize production and increase equipment
reliability, leading to higher profits for our customers.
Added value
Baker Hughes creates greater value for you by combining
chemical solutions with the real-time data and automated
chemical injection pump controllers of our SENTRYNET™
automated chemical services. Managed by a dedicated
team, SENTRYNET chemical automation services help you
improve personnel utilization and production, save money
by eliminating manual pump adjustments and on-site
visits, manage inventory based on real-time readings,
and aggregate data for the most accurate information
about your well.
Paraffin management
Baker Hughes industry-leading
paraffin control programs will
deliver increased production using
a TOTAL SYSTEMS APPROACH
process to identifying issues
affecting production and delivering
innovative solutions to issues such
as paraffin, asphaltenes, and schmoo.
H2S abatement
PETROSWEET H2S management programs give you critical
solutions to hydrogen sulfide in a variety of applications
including capillary string, gas lift production, high-temperature
applications up to 575°F (302°C), and mixed production. Our
nitrogen-free PETROSWEET HSW7334 and HSW7336 scavengers
are fast-acting and nonsolids forming for tower applications
and direct injection in flowlines, and will not cause amine salt
corrosion in refining operations.
