Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Chemicals
Paramount’s EOR chemical solutions are engineered to maximize oil displacement, increase recovery factors, and enable the economic development of mature and challenging reservoirs.
Polymer Flooding Chemicals
Polymer flooding chemicals increase the viscosity of injection water, improving sweep efficiency and reducing viscous fingering in the reservoir. Paramount’s high-performance EOR polymers are designed for stability under harsh salinity, temperature, and shear conditions. Common Types: -Polyacrylamide (HPAM) - Hydrophobically modified polyacrylamides - Associative polymers
Surfactants for EOR
EOR surfactants reduce interfacial tension between oil and water, mobilizing trapped oil and enhancing displacement. Paramount supplies a range of tailored surfactants compatible with reservoir brines, crude types, and process requirements. Common Types: - Anionic surfactants - Nonionic surfactants - Extended surfactants - Biosurfactants
Alkali & ASP Flooding Chemicals
Alkali and Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) blends enable in situ surfactant generation, interfacial tension reduction, and enhanced oil mobilization. Paramount’s ASP chemicals are optimized for reservoir mineralogy, oil chemistry, and operational objectives. Common Types: - Sodium carbonate (soda ash) - Sodium hydroxide - ASP blends (customized)
Foamers for EOR
Foamers generate stable foams in porous media or gas injection operations, diverting fluids, controlling mobility, and improving sweep efficiency. Paramount’s foamers are engineered for high stability, compatibility, and controlled propagation in the reservoir. Common Types: - Alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) foamers - Fluorinated surfactant foamers - Polymer-based foamers
Profile Modification & Water Control Polymers
Profile modification agents and water control polymers are deployed to reduce unwanted water production and divert injected fluids to unswept reservoir zones. Paramount’s solutions are designed for long-term conformance and minimal oil flow impairment. Common Types: - Cross-linked polyacrylamide gels - Preformed particle gels (PPG) - Organically cross-linked polymers
Custom EOR Formulations & Field Collaboration
Paramount’s technical team designs and delivers custom EOR chemical blends—including advanced polymers, surfactant packages, and ASP systems—matched to each reservoir’s brine chemistry, oil properties, and operational challenges. We collaborate with clients to implement innovative EOR strategies that maximize recovery and economic value.
