Materials and chemical solutions

Refining Re-Refining

A petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into valuable products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, kerosene, jet fuel etc. 

Applications Drilling and Completion

The oil and gas industry has been able to overcome various challenges as wells being drilled get deeper, hotter and complex. Evonik offers a broad line of technologies for drilling fluid systems.

New membrane for efficient natural gas processing

SEPURAN® NG is an especially robust, hollow-fiber membrane, which is based on a high-performance plastic that can withstand extreme pressure and temperatures. 

VESTAMID® NRG

The extreme conditions encountered when extracting crude oil and gas test even the most resistant of materials right to their limits. Or harsh environmental conditions for industrial pipes. VESTAMID® NRG overcomes these limitations and has been used in numerous areas for years – both onshore and offshore. 

Components for oil and gas applications

Not only the tubing material has to resist the harsh conditions in the oil and gas industry. The components are also subject to these loads. Evonik offers polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyamide 12, and polyimide for components. PEEK is mostly used.

Crosslinkers for Composites

Our solutions for all technologies: filament winding, pultrusion, cure in place pipes, prepreg, sheet molding compound, infusion and resin transfer molding. 

Crosslinkers  for Epoxy Coatings

Evonik brings formulating solutions and performance advantages to marine, protective, automotive, container and epoxy coatings in general

Flow Assurance

VISCOPLEX® COPI™ additives enhance crude oil throughput at lower pumping costs by efficiently modifying wax crystallization, helping to keep paraffin-related flow and deposition issues safely at bay.

Drilling Fluid Viscosifier

During drilling the oil and gas industries are faced with challenges involving fluid loss and the need to 
formulate fluids with rheological properties required to withstand increasing temperature and pressure conditions.

Gas Sweetening

Evonik's broad range of powerful chemical absorbents enable the removal and treatment of acid gases to improve the efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of industrial processes.

Refinery Dewaxing Aids

VISCOPLEX® dewaxing aids optimize solvent dewaxing refining processes. The addition of Evonik's product will influence the growth and shape of the paraffin crystals, resulting in faster and more complete oil/wax separation.

Active Oxygens

Evonik manufactures a range of products that can be found throughout the oil and gas industry. We produce a specialty peracetic acid grade that can be utilized during drilling, fracturing, productivity enhancement, and secondary recovery as a biocide and oxidizer.

Silica for Oil and Gas

Every field of application has its own particular requirements. With its broad product portfolio of fumed and precipitated silica and metal oxides, Evonik is perfectly equipped to meet the specific challenges of each industry.

Specialty Methacrylates

Methacrylates and methacrylamides are versatile building blocks in oil and gas applications. Drilling, stimulation, production, midstream, EOR and infrastructure are some of the sub-markets serviced by Evonik. 

High-Performance Refinery Additives

From powerful absorbents to remove acid gasses, refinery additives that repurpose petroleum by-product contaminants in the petrochemical value chain, to the removal of heavy metals from combustion plant and electroplating wastewater, our innovative solutions enhance the efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of industrial processes.
