Drilling & Completion

Driving Oilfield Efficiency with Evonik's Tailored High-Performance Solutions

Precision starts deep below the surface. In oil and gas exploration, every well drilled is a test of chemistry, engineering, and environmental responsibility. Evonik empowers operators  in the oil and gas market with a broad portfolio of advanced chemical technologies designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. 
The upstream oil and gas market—covering drilling, cementing, and completion—is essential for unlocking hydrocarbon reservoirs and preparing 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, protect assets, and minimize environmental impact.
