Resolving Permian Basin Vulnerabilities: VCS Highlights Specialty Oilfield Chemistries at SPE ATCE 2023

Driven by the continued dynamic recovery of the North American oil and gas market and tighter mandates on produced water recycling, SPE ATCE 2023 opened in San Antonio. Texas-based enterprise VCS participated by presenting its tailored portfolio of specialty upstream oilfield chemistries.

Downhole conditions across regions like the Permian Basin are notoriously aggressive. In response, VCS developed specialized downhole water-injection antiscalants, demulsifiers, and acidizing corrosion inhibitors. At the event, technical specialists utilized transparent loop models to demonstrate how their demulsifiers achieve sharp oil-water separation within seconds, and how their advanced corrosion inhibitors deliver superior asset protection in high-salinity, H2S-rich environments.

“The profitability of oilfield operations is deeply connected to the precise chemical treatment of water and hydrocarbons,” explained the Director of the VCS Oilfield Chemicals Division. Leveraging its localized R&D and manufacturing capacity, VCS provides basin-specific chemical blending that met with strong interest from independent operators and global majors during the three-day event.
