Evonik provides high-performance specialty additives that support the full lifecycle of oil and gas wells—from initial drilling to final completion. With decades of experience and a global footprint, we help operators improve efficiency, wellbore stability, and environmental performance.
During rotary drilling, our surfactants and wetting agents enhance mud rheology, reduce friction, and stabilize the wellbore. Foam control agents and eco-friendly fluid systems ensure smooth operations, even in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments. ADOGEN® products, such as ADOGEN® 442, are used in organoclay manufacturing to optimize viscosity and cuttings transport, while ADOGEN® 140 and 160 D act as corrosion inhibitors to protect metal surfaces during reservoir access.
In the completion phase, Evonik’s additives ensure well integrity and production readiness. AROSURF® spacer surfactants clean the casing and wellbore, promoting strong cement bonds. AROSURF® EK and FC series defoamers improve fluid handling.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates in Upstream Oil & Gas Chemistry
Evonik’s VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates—including amino methacrylates such as VISIOMER® TMAEMC, MADAME, DMAPMA, and MAPTAC, as well as VISIOMER® MPEG MA monomers like VISIOMER® MPEG 750 MA W and VISIOMER® MPEG 2005 MA W—are key components in upstream oil and gas applications. These monomers serve as building blocks for engineered polymers that deliver high performance under extreme downhole conditions. They offer excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability, strong brine tolerance, and compatibility with HPHT environments.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates are used as polymer additives in shale control, drilling fluid rheology modification, and cementing operations. They help stabilize formations, reduce fluid loss, enhance viscosity, and prevent cement slurry dehydration. These benefits contribute to improved wellbore integrity, reduced operational risks, and increased efficiency in oilfield processes—making VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates essential for sustainable and reliable energy production.
