In the oil and gas industry, maintaining asset integrity is essential for ensuring safety, reliability, and long-term operational efficiency. Factors such as corrosion, microbiological activity, and exposure to corrosive gases can compromise equipment and infrastructure, leading to costly downtime and environmental risks.
Effective asset integrity management—both mechanical and chemical—is crucial for protecting facilities, whether offshore or onshore. Specialty chemicals play a key role in preserving assets, extending service life, and optimizing performance.
Protect your metal assets from corrosion with SURFGARD® C Series Corrosion Inhibitors. Ensure operational efficiency and extend asset lifespan.
Our SURFGARD Corrosion Inhibitors (CIs) are specialty chemicals designed to protect metals from corrosion by forming a protective barrier between the metal surface and its environment. They work through chemical adsorption (chemisorption) or by creating a protective film that prevents corrosive reactions. Depending on the characteristics of the processed fluid, CIs are categorized as Liquid Corrosion Inhibitors (LCI), Gas Corrosion Inhibitors (GCI), Gas Compressor Corrosion Inhibitors (GCCI), and Antifoulants. Our SURFGARD CIs also offer High Pressure and High Temperature applications.
CIs are essential in oil and gas processing to protect internal metal surfaces from electrolyte-induced corrosion. Depending on the application, they are categorized as:
To ensure effectiveness, our CIs undergo various tests, including Bubble or Kettle Test, Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE) & Rotating Disc Electrode (RDE), Jet Impingement Test, High-Shear Autoclave & Rotating Cage Test, Flow Loop Test, Wheel Test, and Static Test
Proper CI selection and testing ensure optimal protection, extending equipment lifespan and enhancing operational efficiency. Engage us for reliable Corrosion Inhibitors that safeguard your assets and enhance operational efficiency.
Combat microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) and biofouling with Lamurindo’s SURFGARD® B Series Biocides. Ensure smooth operations and protect your assets.
Biocides are specialty chemicals used to mitigate Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC) and prevent biofouling in oil and gas operations. They work by inhibiting bacterial growth and disrupting cell membranes or metabolic processes, preventing the formation of harmful bacterial colonies.
In oil and gas environments, bacteria are classified based on their oxygen requirements as aerobic (oxygen-dependent) or anaerobic (thriving without oxygen). They can also exist as planktonic (free-floating in liquids) or sessile (attached to biofilms on pipe walls and vessels).
Biocides play a critical role in upstream and downstream operations, including drilling, fracturing, well treatment, and water processing. They help reduce H₂S, sulfide scale, biofouling, and MIC, ensuring smooth fluid flow, corrosion prevention, and improved productivity. The largest use of biocides is in water injection projects, such as seawater injection for formation pressure maintenance and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).
Lamurindo offer provides two main types:
By selecting the right biocide, oil and gas operations can effectively control microbial contamination, enhance asset integrity, and optimize production efficiency.
Remove toxic H2S from oil and gas systems with Lamurindo’s SURFGARD® H Series H2S Scavengers. Ensure safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a highly toxic and corrosive gas that presents serious safety, environmental, and operational challenges in oil and gas production. It reacts with iron in wells and pipelines, leading to:
To meet safety regulations and product quality standards, H₂S must be removed from natural gas and crude oil. H₂S Scavengers chemically react with H₂S to neutralize its effects, preventing corrosion and ensuring operational efficiency.
Chemical Bases of H₂S Scavengers
Our SURFGARD® H₂S Scavengers are specifically designed to effectively mitigate H₂S-related risks, ensuring asset integrity and compliance with industry standards.
Eliminate dissolved oxygen from oil and gas systems with Lamurindo’s SURFGARD® O Series O2 Scavengers. Prevent corrosion and protect your assets.
Dissolved oxygen (O₂) in water can cause severe corrosion in pipelines, process equipment, and injection systems. Over time, O₂ corrosion leads to:
To prevent these issues, O₂ Scavengers are used to remove oxygen from oilfield fluids, ensuring smooth operation and extended equipment lifespan.
Applications of O₂ Scavengers
The oxygen removal process reduces dissolved O₂ levels from ~8 ppm to <10 ppb (preferably <5 ppb) to effectively prevent corrosion.
Chemical Bases of O₂ Scavengers
By using the right O₂ Scavenger, oil and gas operations can prevent corrosion-related failures, optimize fluid flow, and maintain asset reliability.
