Naphthenate Management Solutions
Control Deposits. Improve Flow Assurance. Optimize Oil Quality.
The Challenge: Naphthenate Deposition in Oil Production
Naphthenate deposition is a persistent challenge in crude oil production; especially in offshore and high water cut fields. These deposits can:
Stabilize emulsions, making oil water separation more difficult
Cause flowline and separator blockages
Increase oil dehydration time and chemical demand
Reduce overall production efficiency and crude quality
Naphthenates; typically calcium or sodium salts of naphthenic acids; form when the organic acids in crude oil react with cations in produced water. This can occur during production, processing, or transportation, leading to serious flow assurance issues.
Rodanco's Targeted Naphthenate Control Approach
Rodanco offers specialized chemical programs to:
Prevent naphthenate formation at the source
Disperse or dissolve existing deposits in flowlines and separators
Break naphthenate stabilized emulsions for faster dehydration
Optimize separator performance and oil quality
Our solutions are designed through a combination of lab testing, field evaluation, and operational monitoring, ensuring that each treatment is system specific and cost effective.
