Upstream – Rodanco

Upstream Chemicals

At Rodanco BV, we deliver innovative and sustainable chemical solutions designed to optimize oilfield operations. Our upstream product portfolio is engineered to tackle challenges in crude oil production, transportation, and processing, ensuring maximum efficiency, asset protection, and environmental responsibility.

Tailor Made – Demulsifiers

Every crude oil field has unique characteristics. Rodanco formulates custom demulsifiers to effectively separate water and oil emulsions. Through on site testing and expert formulation, we ensure:

Complete emulsion breaking

Dry export crude with low salt levels

Cleanly separated water, ready for disposal or reinjection

Corrosion Inhibitors

Corrosion is a major risk for wells, pipelines, and facilities. Our range of corrosion inhibitors provides robust protection for:

Sweet and sour gas wells and pipelines

Wet oil flowlines and pipelines

Production waters with oxygen content

Rodanco’s inhibitors prevent material degradation, extend equipment life, and reduce costly maintenance.

H₂S Scavengers

Hydrogen sulfide poses significant safety, operational, and environmental risks. Our scavengers efficiently neutralize H₂S without causing scaling or blockages, ensuring:

Safer handling of sour systems

Continuous and reliable production performance

Reduced risks of operational downtime

Biocides

Microbial contamination in oilfield systems can lead to corrosion and souring. Rodanco supplies effective biocides that:

Kill harmful bacteria or make them dormant

Prevent microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)

Stop souring caused by sulphate reducing bacteria (SRBs)

Water Clarifiers & De-Oiling

Produced water often contains residual oil and solids. Rodanco offers biodegradable clarifiers that:

Form strong flocs to encapsulate oil and solids

Reduce microplastics compared to traditional clarifiers

Deliver clear, environmentally safe water outputs

Scale Inhibitors & Removers

Scale formation reduces production efficiency and damages equipment. We provide specialized scale inhibitors and dispersants that:

Prevent calcium carbonate and barium sulfate scaling

Dissolve tough scales for easy removal

Keep wells, pipelines, and equipment running smoothly

Pour Point Depressants & Paraffin Inhibitors

Wax and paraffin buildup can severely affect crude oil flow. Our pour point depressants (PPDs) and paraffin inhibitors:

Lower the pour point of crude oils for improved flow

Prevent wax deposition in pipelines and storage

Ensure reliable flow assurance in cold conditions

Dispersants & Cleaning Agents

Hydrocarbon deposits like wax, asphaltenes, and bitumen can clog production equipment. Rodanco provides powerful dispersants and cleaning agents that:

Remove heavy deposits from wells, tanks, and pipelines

Fluidize sludge layers quickly

Offer environmentally safe, biodegradable formulations
