ForceGel XV — Xanthan gum drilling fluid

The base technology of Force Chem Technologies ForceGel HT Xanthan gum drilling fluid is Xanthan, a natural polymer, generated by the bacteria Xanthomonas Campestris and produced commercially by a fermentation process. It is composed of three monosaccharides — mannose, glucose, and glucuronic acid, arranged in a highly branched structure with an estimated molecular weight of 5 million. Xanthan’s polar side chains provide sites for extensive hydrogen bonding with water and interactions between polymer chains that give rise to a helical structure in solution. ForceGel HT liquid biopolymer is a high-purity cross-linked Xanthan suspended in an ultra-clean mineral oil and biodegradable surfactants for ease of mixing. It is not subject to particle settling or fluid separation under normal storage or transport conditions. Starting with an environmentally friendly fluid and utilizing our unique suspension technology, we eliminate settling of the ForceGel HT while the product remains fully pourable. The long-term stability of the suspension provides for consistent, reliable product properties at your field locations any place in the world. This type of structure allows for a significant increase in solution viscosity especially at low shear rates. The physical properties of ForceGel HT have led to its use in a variety of drilling and completion applications. It is readily soluble in hot and cold water and brines over a wide pH range. In aqueous solutions, ForceGel HT is highly pseudoplastic and shows stability to a wide range of temperatures and pH changes. ForceGel HT has unique resistance to thermal degradation at temperatures up to and over 300°F, but at the same time is susceptible to degradation by enzymatic and oxidizing agents — these properties are ideal for drilling, completions, and fracking. ForceGel HT was cross-linked using a proprietary ionic process yielding an eco-safe, biodegradable, compound with enhanced pseudoplastic properties required to move large amounts of solids. It’s unique ‘scaffolding’ molecular structure makes the product an excellent suspending agent to carry cuttings from drilling and completion operations. ForceGel HT’s rheological properties are particularly well suited to oilfield applications in that it’s pseudoplastic and produces high viscosity while at rest.

Xanthan Gel Drilling Mud Viscosifier Advantages:

Easy to handle and mixes well in low shear environments

Extremely stable suspension provides reliable properties

Freeze/thaw cycle does not affect stability or performance of the product

Optimized bit hydraulics resulting in higher penetration rates (increased ROP)

Viscous laminar flow in the annulus for improved wellbore stability with maximum hole cleaning and suspension capacity; minimal drilled solids settle under static conditions

Performs well in freshwater, seawater, and a variety of brines; both mono and divalent salts and saturated salt environments

Excellent viscosifier — requires less material than other types of rheology modifiers

Solution viscosity is stable in varied temperature and pH conditions

Stable thickener for 15% HCl at temperatures below 200°F; utilized in the wellbore stimulation allowing for dissolved/displaced solids removal.

Rapid dispersion without ‘fisheyes.’

Excellent friction reduction in coil tubing applications

Demonstrates beneficial synergistic effect with polyacrylic polymers utilized for friction reduction and shale stabilization

We also have an alternative product, XanForce Liquid Xanthan Gel

Table 1 ForceGel HT demonstrates outstanding performance which is readily seen in field conditions — tested at 3 gals/10 bbls and 5 gals/10 bbls in Seawater, Saturated NaCl (9.9 lbs/gal), and 11.0 lb/gal CaCl2 brine. Tested at 100°F — Fann 35, f1.0 measurement. Results show ForceGel HT is broad-spectrum and the one polymer that the drilling and completion system should not be without.

Table 2 ForceGel HT exhibits high calcium stability — tested at 3 gals/10 bbls in 11.0 lb/gal CaCl2 brine weighted to 12.0 lb./gal with 90 lbs/bbl of Calcium Carbonate. Aged at 150°F for 24 hours and cooled to 75°F for Fann 35, f1.0 measurement. These lab results indicate why ForceGel HT users in cement plug drill outs swear by its outstanding solids carrying capacity.

Table 3 ForceGel HT exhibits improved thermal stability with increased brine density — tests at 5 gallons/10 bbls in CaCl2; Fann Model 50 @100 sec-1. These lab results back up field-use results demonstrated on a basis by users.

General Guidelines for Maximum Performance ForceGel HT can be used with or without bentonite, i.e. as a secondary or primary viscosifier/suspending agent. Unlike other polymers (cellulosic, polyacrylamides, starches), cross-linked ForceGel HT develops significant viscosity at low shear rates (LSRV) to provide suspension of weight materials in high-density fluids. ForceGel HT can be used in a wide range of makeup waters, ranging from fresh water to saturated sodium chloride, in formate brines, and near-saturated calcium chloride. The following are some general guidelines to achieve optimum fluid efficiency in the field:

1. As with any polymer-based system, the use of efficient solids control equipment is recommended, including high speed, a fine screen shale shakers, hydro clones, and decanting centrifuges. Overall stability is based on maintaining low-density solids in the ≤ 5% by volume range and using the biopolymers to increase LSRV.

2. Bingham Plastic parameters, the plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP) will often be inverted, preferably varying between a PV:YP ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 with a PV in the 10–20 range for unweighted systems. Using ForceGel HT to improve carrying capacity will automatically maintain a low PV while increasing viscosity at low shear rates (≤5.1 sec-1), as measured by the Fann 35 and Brookfield viscometers.

3. Using the Power Law model, “n” values, as calculated between 3 and 300 rpm, should be maintained between 0.25 and 0.35 for optimum shear thinning characteristics and hydraulic efficiency. “K” values >10 dynes.secn/cm2 are recommended to assure sufficient LSRV for suspension. Hole conditions should dictate the need for increasing “K”. Fill on trips, settling, barite sag, and trouble making connections are all symptomatic of hole cleaning problems brought about by inadequate LSRV, and indicate the need to add ForceGel HT biopolymers.

4. For optimum stability, pH of xanthan systems should be maintained between 8.0 and 9.0. Monitor and treat the high pH (above 10.0). Watch systems with soluble calcium such as in drilling cement solids due to rapid pH increases and the potential for reduction in performance. Pre-treat with ForcePyrophos to minimize the effect.

5. In low pH, fresh water and low salinity brines (<10% salt) a biocide/biostat (Glutaraldehyde) is highly recommended if the fluid is to be stored.

6. Various additives, including glycols, polymeric blends, resins, and salts have been developed for shale inhibition. While most are compatible with ForceGel HT and other Force Chem Technologies polymers (ForceFluids D-1020 Series — “FR’s”), pilot testing is highly recommended if cationic inhibitors are used (Halliburton Clay Stay & other similar technologies). For optimum stability, ForceGel HT should be pre-hydrated in the makeup fluid prior to adding cationic shale inhibitors.

Application: ForceGel HT mixes easily with oilfield waters. Add 0.5 to 3 quarts/bbl (0.50–4.0 lb/bbl) to drilling fluids depending on the application and viscosity required. Allow more time for complete hydration in cold fluid temperature or high salt content (monovalent — KCl/NaCl and divalent — CaCl2/CaBr2) content waters. ForceGel HT has unique a unique ‘scaffolding’ molecular which allows other polyacrylic polymers to be mixed with the system to enhance carrying capacities, increase friction reduction, drag reduction, or prevent fluid loss. Force Chem’s ForceFluids D-1021 — D-1023 series drilling fluids have been developed to be used alone or in combination with ForceGel HT’s positive system benefits. Combining the technologies can reduce use of both compounds while maintaining the highest possible performance available in the industry. Additionally, our glass and polymer GX and PX drilling beads can come suspended in our ForceGel HT.

StableForce | KCI Substitute | Shale Stabilizer

Force K-Chlor Sub 565 Clay Stabilizer

Force K-Chlor sub 565 is a kcl substitute that acts as a clay stabilizer with a combination chemistry consisting of quaternary amines, cationic surfactants, and quaternary polyamine designed to stabilize reactive clay and shale when drilled with water-based drilling fluids or stimulated with fluids that may induce swelling. The product was designed primarily to be used as a potassium chloride (KCl) brine substitute and has a proven track record of successful use providing outstanding performance and onsite savings over brine salts for superior swelling control.

K-Chlor Sub 565 will not affect the permeability as many competing treatments do and are compatible with and lubricants required for speedy drilling and lowered friction coefficients. The product is extremely effective at low concentrations and can be added readily to the system without shear. The product has applications in drilling, rock acidizing, fracturing and aqueous pre-flush fluids that makes it an excellent shale stabilizer.

KCI Substitute Product Advantages:

Broad spectrum use includes KCl substitute, acidizing, fracturing, drilling, and aqueous flushing fluids.

Excellent use cost due to low use rates and ease of mud blending; concentrated product reduces logistics and operations costs.

Effectively passes all major oilfield company in-house and independent lab tests for product efficacy.

Compatible with most fluid systems and lubrication or friction reduction chemistries, as well as brine and solids intrusion during drill outs.

Performs well over a wide pH range and is soluble in all types of aqueous solutions.

Thermally stable downhole (>400°F) in drilling & completion environments.

Works well with ForcePac corrosion inhibitor and increases oil well production due to superior shale stabilization qualities.

Some customers claim mud formation improvements even over traditional KCL water.

Shale Stabilizer Application:

K-Chlor Sub 565 should be applied at the rate of 0.10% (1,000 ppm) to 0.4% (4,000 ppm) depending on the severity of known swelling in a formation. Generally 0.125% (1,250 ppm) will deliver outstanding results in the most difficult situations. When substituting a KCl 5% solution in problematic mud zones, apply 0.4% (4,000 ppm) in order to outperform the equivalent offshore water brine solution. If possible, avoid using products with high levels of anionic surfactants. PPM equals parts per million. This is a superior application ratio compared to many competing clay stabilizers.

The equivalent of gallons/100 barrels of freshwater or aqueous solution:

PPM PPM as a % Gallons Barrels 1,000 (0.10%) 4.2 100 1,250 (0.125%) 4.25 80 1,250 (0.125%) 5.25 100 1,250 (0.125%) 26.25 500 2,000 (0.20%) 8.4 100 4,000 (0.40%) 16.8 100

Oil Transformation in the Oil and Gas Industry Mean Transformation for Industrial Degreaser Production and Use

The oil and gas industry influence the headlines today. The United States, on the back of expanded oil & gas production, has reclaimed the industry titan status that it held until just after World War II. As other major production nation-states such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran have down into chaos or disrepute, USA-based production has kept global prices stable and affordable.

Effect of Hydrofracturing and Increased Scrutiny

What made the sudden re-emergence of American energy production possible has been the advanced hydrofracturing technology that made it possible to cost-effectively access Marcellus Shale and other deep sources. The Appalachian states, The Dakotas, Texas, and other areas boast massive reserves at the Marcellus depth and even deeper at the Utica level.

Changes in production techniques, however, brought increased scrutiny from government agencies and, occasionally, less than well-informed pressure groups. In response, oil & gas companies have accepted a greater obligation to ensure that their chemical footprint, including industrial degreaser formulation, adheres to strict guidelines designed to protect the environment.

The Importance of Using Proper Degreasers

Degreasers do not merely clean equipment to make it look pretty and shiny. They serve the important purpose of removing old oil and grease, which almost always has picked up dust, dirt, grime, and other substances that affect viscosity and lubricant performance. Allowing heavy equipment and other items to go too long without thorough degreasing can affect performance and even result in damaged goods

The Importance of Oilfield Chemicals

On the oilfield, various kinds of chemicals can help you achieve higher efficiency in your processes and better productivity. While some of these chemicals get used in operations like exploration and oil well drilling, there are many that work for maintenance purposes like protecting your machinery from corrosion. We’re an oil field company in San Antonio (USA) that specializes in manufacturing and distributing oilfield chemicals including emulsion breakers and corrosion inhibitors.

Corrosion Inhibitors

First up is corrosion inhibitors. Pipelines companies transport oil have very high corrosion risks due to the presence of water. Water has oxygen in it, and this is the main thing that causes corrosion in the oilfield lines. The oil line corrosion inhibitors are essential specialized chemicals that act as oxygen scavengers. They work to absorb any of the oxygen that is present in the water in the oil. In turn, this safeguards the pipe itself from a reduction-oxidation reaction. This reaction occurs with ferrous and non-ferrous metals that meet oxygen and causes corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors can save downtime, costs, and material costs for replacement and repair.

Emulsion Breakers

When you produce oil from an oilfield, you’ll usually end up with significant amounts of water mixed in that gets added to the oil either through injection or naturally during the processes. You should separate the water from your oil because it can negatively impact your oil’s properties. It can also cause premature pipeline corrosion that can cost you thousands. This is where emulsion breakers come in on oilfields. These are specialty chemicals that can seamlessly separate water and oil from your crude oil-water emulsions. Emulsion breakers work by a process called crude oil demulsification. This process causes a density change in the emulsion that makes it easier for this separation to happen. In turn, you can increase your crude oil value for exporting it. It also works to minimize your maintenance and operational costs that could spike if you have corrosion in your pipelines.

How Force Fluids Can Help

Force Fluids is an oil company in San Antonio, TX that manufactures and sells specialized oilfield chemicals like corrosion inhibitors and emulsion breakers. As we are an oil company, we understand the unique challenges that come with the oil extraction and separation process. In turn, we know exactly which chemicals you need to keep your equipment in top shape and how to get the most value out of your crude oil. We can also recommend the best chemicals for your situation or needs, and we can tailor your order to you. You’ll never worry about quality when you work with Force Fluids, we guarantee it.

Contact Force Fluids Today!

If you need oilfield chemicals shipped straight to your site, we invite you to browse through our stock and find the correct options. For questions or concerns, you can reach out and get in touch with our staff. We’re ready to help in any way we can.

Should the Industry Stand Pat on the Environmental Front During a Friendly Administration?

The breathing space created by the Trump Administration has led to a healthy boost in oil and gas production in the US, which has shaken up the global market. Once mighty OPEC has lost the leverage it used for decades against industrial countries lacking their own resources. Even Qatar abandoned the formerly robust association and pledged billions in investment in both oil and gas production in the US. Also, expanding pipeline capacity led to last year serving as the highest oil production year ever in the US.

Much of the impetus in the market comes from the confidence that President Donald Trump will not impose unreasonable regulations on the industry, especially in the environmental sector. With a production-friendly president in the White House and US fossil fuel pollution emissions expected to drop this year, should the industry shift resources away from advancing environmentally friendly technology, techniques, and products? This includes everything from drilling to oil rig cleaning services. Or, should the industry continue to push forward to continue the gradual improvement in environmental practice?

Should the Oil and Gas Industry Concentrate on Non-Environmental Issues for Now?

Some may argue that substantial improvements in emissions combined with a reduced threat from the federal government mean that the industry can focus on different priorities. The industry has embarked on a plan of upscaling production and distribution and needs an infrastructure capable of reliable delivery. Like federal and state highways, however, age and neglect have made repairs and replacement necessary.

There are also foreign policy benefits from heightened exports. As Russia lurches back into an adversarial position against the US, cheaper American gas can undercut the industry that pays the Bear’s bills.

Industry resources are not unlimited. Shifting some away from environmental advancement, at least in the short term, can help to set the foundation for future growth.

Environmental Advancement Protects the Industry in the Long Term

The reality, however, dictates that the motivation of those who oppose natural gas and oil development will not simply disappear. A smart long-term strategy for the industry should lie in enhancing environmental performance as much as possible. This extends even to the use of products such as

degreasers

and other products and processes.

Continuing to strive toward cleaner extraction and production, especially during the Trump presidency, will demonstrate that the industry holds a serious commitment to improving itself.

Why the US Oil and Gas Industry Needs to Keep Striving for Environmental Improvement

For both the long and short-term sustainability of the industry, the industry needs to focus on both infrastructure and environmental advancements. The US oil and gas industry needs to invest more in infrastructure. Additionally, the emerging US dominance of world oil and gas markets takes power and leverage out of the hands of other producers who have used past American weakness to their advantage.

However, the good times can end with the passage of a single law or the issuing of an executive order. A future president and/or Congress can pass laws and regulations that can change the US market dramatically. Luckily, today’s economy allows for a somewhat expanded pie compared to previous years. Resources are available to gradually push forward on multiple fronts, ensuring that we can continue to safely and effectively supply America and much of the world with ample and cheap energy while also improving our own environmental protection standards.

Drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, has several purposes in the life of a well. Generally, it is used to help drill boreholes in the earth. Drilling fluid provides hydrostatic pressure, preventing formation fluids from entering the well and causing a blowout. It keeps the drill bit cool and lubricated while drilling, and avoids formation damage and limits corrosion.It sounds simple, but how do the drilling fluids really work? Is it as simple as pouring them in a hole and waiting? What do the fluids do? We’ll explain a little as to just how these fluids can assist in your good operations.What are drilling fluids/drilling mud?Drilling fluids can be water-based, oil-based, or synthetic-based. At Force Fluids, we have all three different bases. Simply put, they are liquids used in the drilling process. The type of fluid used is based on the material of the rock formation; clay, salt, or something else, and the environmental impact the fluids will have in the given area. We recommend water-based drilling fluids for offshore drilling.

What does drilling fluid do in the oilfield?

With the oilfield technology that we have today, drilling fluids can be used for more than one function in the field. Depending on the job being performed, the duty of the drilling fluid changes.Drilling fluids cool drill bits and reduce torque on the pipe. They can reduce drag and move heat away from the entire pipe string. The quality of the fluids can make a difference in how well these fluids work in your well. At Force Chem, we stand by the quality of our products.Here are a few tasks that our drilling fluids are used for each day.Remove cuttings from the wellIn this case, the fluids carry the excavated rock to the surface of the earth. Think of a river carrying sediment to the mouth of a river. This is similar. The size and shape of the rock and the speed of the fluid controls which rocks are carried to the surface. If the fluids are moving swiftly, larger chunks of rock are able to move to the surface, but if it is moving too slowly, the rock chunks will settle in the well. We recommend using Force Fluids Viscosifiers to stop shavings from settling at the bottom of your well.Controlling Formation PressuresDrilling fluids help control the pressures within the well, keeping the wellbores stable. Fluid density is increased when formation pressure increases, keeping a balance. When formation pressures are not balanced, we’ve seen unexpected influxes of formations fluids, leading to blowouts.The hydrostatic pressure in the well is directly related to the density of the drilling fluids. We know the hydrostatic pressure should be equal to the formation pressure to allow for complete good control. At Force Chem, we use our drilling fluids to make sure there are no uncontrollable formation fluids flowing into the wellbore. Limiting fluid density to the minimum amount necessary reduces the chance of fracturing the formation.Cool and lubricate the drilling assemblyAs with any technology, heat is created when the drill is in motion. The drill string rotates and rubs against the wellbore, causing friction. Our drilling fluids move heat away from the bit and the drill string, cooling them off and lowering the temperature in the wellbore. This allows the bit and the drill string to continue working, with less failure. Poor lubrication can cause torque and heat checking, creating problems in the wellbore.Most often, oil-based or synthetic-based fluids are used in these instances as we know they tend to lubricate better than water-based fluids. We have a Force line of drilling fluids to choose from, depending on the project.With so many uses for drilling fluids, it’s easy to see why oilfield technology is centered around them. We can use this product for so many different processes, simplifying things in an already complex world. With all the uses, we know drilling fluids are likely to become an even more valuable asset to the oil industry.Source:

Should the Industry Stand Pat on the Environmental Front During a Friendly Administration?

The breathing space created by the Trump Administration has led to a healthy boost in oil and gas production in the US, which has shaken up the global market. Once mighty OPEC has lost the leverage it used for decades against industrial countries lacking their own resources. Even Qatar abandoned the formerly robust association and pledged billions in investment in both oil and gas production in the US. Also, expanding pipeline capacity led to last year serving as the highest oil production year ever in the US.

Much of the impetus in the market comes from the confidence that President Donald Trump will not impose unreasonable regulations on the industry, especially in the environmental sector. With a production-friendly president in the White House and US fossil fuel pollution emissions expected to drop this year, should the industry shift resources away from advancing environmentally friendly technology, techniques, and products? This includes everything from drilling to oil rig cleaning services. Or, should the industry continue to push forward to continue the gradual improvement in environmental practice?

Should the Oil and Gas Industry Concentrate on Non-Environmental Issues for Now?

Some may argue that substantial improvements in emissions combined with a reduced threat from the federal government mean that the industry can focus on different priorities. The industry has embarked on a plan of upscaling production and distribution and needs an infrastructure capable of reliable delivery. Like federal and state highways, however, age and neglect have made repairs and replacement necessary.

There are also foreign policy benefits from heightened exports. As Russia lurches back into an adversarial position against the US, cheaper American gas can undercut the industry that pays the Bear’s bills.

Industry resources are not unlimited. Shifting some away from environmental advancement, at least in the short term, can help to set the foundation for future growth.

Environmental Advancement Protects the Industry in the Long Term

The reality, however, dictates that the motivation of those who oppose natural gas and oil development will not simply disappear. A smart long-term strategy for the industry should lie in enhancing environmental performance as much as possible. This extends even to the use of products such as degreasers and other products and processes.

Continuing to strive toward cleaner extraction and production, especially during the Trump presidency, will demonstrate that the industry holds a serious commitment to improving itself.

Why the US Oil and Gas Industry Needs to Keep Striving for Environmental Improvement

For both the long and short-term sustainability of the industry, the industry needs to focus on both infrastructure and environmental advancements. The US oil and gas industry needs to invest more in infrastructure. Additionally, the emerging US dominance of world oil and gas markets takes power and leverage out of the hands of other producers who have used past American weakness to their advantage.

However, the good times can end with the passage of a single law or the issuing of an executive order. A future president and/or Congress can pass laws and regulations that can change the US market dramatically. Luckily, today’s economy allows for a somewhat expanded pie compared to previous years. Resources are available to gradually push forward on multiple fronts, ensuring that we can continue to safely and effectively supply America and much of the world with ample and cheap energy while also improving our own environmental protection standards.

The Importance of Oilfield Chemicals

On the oilfield, various kinds of chemicals can help you achieve higher efficiency in your processes and better productivity. While some of these chemicals get used in operations like exploration and oil well drilling, there are many that work for maintenance purposes like protecting your machinery from corrosion.

We’re an oil field company in San Antonio (USA) that specializes in manufacturing and distributing oilfield chemicals including emulsion breakers and corrosion inhibitors.

Corrosion Inhibitors

First up is corrosion inhibitors. Pipelines companies transport oil have very high corrosion risks due to the presence of water. Water has oxygen in it, and this is the main thing that causes corrosion in the oilfield lines. The oil line corrosion inhibitors are essential specialized chemicals that act as oxygen scavengers.

They work to absorb any of the oxygen that is present in the water in the oil. In turn, this safeguards the pipe itself from a reduction-oxidation reaction. This reaction occurs with ferrous and non-ferrous metals that meet oxygen and causes corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors can save downtime, costs, and material costs for replacement and repair.

Emulsion Breakers

When you produce oil from an oilfield, you’ll usually end up with significant amounts of water mixed in that gets added to the oil either through injection or naturally during the processes. You should separate the water from your oil because it can negatively impact your oil’s properties. It can also cause premature pipeline corrosion that can cost you thousands. This is where emulsion breakers come in on oilfields.

These are specialty chemicals that can seamlessly separate water and oil from your crude oil-water emulsions. Emulsion breakers work by a process called crude oil demulsification. This process causes a density change in the emulsion that makes it easier for this separation to happen. In turn, you can increase your crude oil value for exporting it. It also works to minimize your maintenance and operational costs that could spike if you have corrosion in your pipelines.

How Force Fluids Can Help

Force Fluids is an oil company in San Antonio, TX that manufactures and sells specialized oilfield chemicals like corrosion inhibitors and emulsion breakers. As we are an oil company, we understand the unique challenges that come with the oil extraction and separation process. In turn, we know exactly which chemicals you need to keep your equipment in top shape and how to get the most value out of your crude oil.

We can also recommend the best chemicals for your situation or needs, and we can tailor your order to you. You’ll never worry about quality when you work with Force Fluids, we guarantee it.

Oil Transformation in the Oil and Gas Industry Mean Transformation for Industrial Degreaser Production and Use

The oil and gas industry influence the headlines today. The United States, on the back of expanded oil & gas production, has reclaimed the industry titan status that it held until just after World War II. As other major production nation-states such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran have down into chaos or disrepute, USA-based production has kept global prices stable and affordable.

Effect of Hydrofracturing and Increased Scrutiny

What made the sudden re-emergence of American energy production possible has been the advanced hydrofracturing technology that made it possible to cost-effectively access Marcellus Shale and other deep sources. The Appalachian states, The Dakotas, Texas, and other areas boast massive reserves at the Marcellus depth and even deeper at the Utica level.

Changes in production techniques, however, brought increased scrutiny from government agencies and, occasionally, less than well-informed pressure groups. In response, oil & gas companies have accepted a greater obligation to ensure that their chemical footprint, including industrial degreaser formulation, adheres to strict guidelines designed to protect the environment.

The Importance of Using Proper Degreasers

Degreasers do not merely clean equipment to make it look pretty and shiny. They serve the important purpose of removing old oil and grease, which almost always has picked up dust, dirt, grime, and other substances that affect viscosity and lubricant performance. Allowing heavy equipment and other items to go too long without thorough degreasing can affect performance and even result in damaged goods
