Driving Oilfield Efficiency with Evonik's Tailored High-Performance Solutions
Precision starts deep below the surface. In oil and gas exploration, every well presents complex chemistry and engineering requirements, together with operational, safety and environmental considerations. Evonik provides chemical technologies for upstream, midstream and downstream applications, with products designed to support process efficiency and defined technical functions. Product-specific safety, regulatory and environmental information is available in the relevant documentation.
Upstream oil and gas operations include drilling, cementing and completion activities used to access hydrocarbon reservoirs and prepare wells for production. These operations face increasing complexity due to deeper wells, unconventional formations, and high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. Evonik supports the oil and gas industry with a broad portfolio of advanced chemical technologies
Evonik develops and sells specialty additives that enhance drilling fluid rheology, improve shale control, stabilize formations and support cementing operations under demanding conditions. Our trusted brands ADOGEN®, AROSURF®, AP-22®, and VISIOMER® are engineered to perform in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments, helping operators improve efficiency, and protect assets.
