Oil patch bits: ChampionX awarded two multi-million-pound contracts

Petroleum News

ChampionX said April 8 that it has secured two contracts worth a combined £2.8 million, to deliver its next generation, non-toxic chemicals to two major North Sea operators.

The company’s environmentally acceptable corrosion inhibitor product line has been developed to enable E&P organizations to economically extend the life of their assets in a sustainable way, without sacrificing efficiency.

Corrosion inhibitor chemicals are widely used as a preventative measure in pipeline systems and are deployed from wellheads to processing facilities and export lines. This infrastructure is typically made of carbon steel and exposed to dissolved acidic components such as CO2 and organic acids in the presence of water, which creates a continuous threat of corrosion.

ChampionX’s latest range of environmentally acceptable corrosion inhibitors meet the strict North Sea environmental regulations and use active components that are biodegradable, making them non-toxic to marine life. The chemicals deliver an effective preventative corrosion method while ensuring assets can operate safely for years to come, with a reduced environmental impact.

The global chemistry solutions and technologies company has seen, through a successful field trial, its new inhibitor deployed to help avoid production deferment on a major UK Continental Shelf operator’s platform in the North Sea. The second client’s supply will be used at its floating, production, storage, offloading vessel from Q2 next year. For more information visit www.championX.com.
