Oil and Gas Upstream

NYACOL® offers a range of products for oil and gas upstream applications including H2S scavenging in oil and gas well drilling, oil well cementing additives, and functionalized silica for applications in enhanced oil recovery and shale well development.

NYACOL® DP5370 is a water based zinc oxide dispersion. The high surface area of the product provides fast kinetics and high capacity as an H2S scavenger. The product can be used in water-based drilling fluids for in-well H2S control and also as a scrubbing liquid for removing H2S from gas streams. For cold weather areas, we offer ethylene glycol dispersions for temps down to -40 F. The reaction product is non-settling, making handling in the field relatively easy.

In some cases our standard materials are not suitable for a customer’s particular application, or a different composition is required. In these cases, we will consider a custom development project with our customers. We generally proceed under a Non-Disclosure Agreement and we will do the project in such a way that the material can be readily scaled up.
