Production ChemicalsOptimizing production with chemical programs designed for efficiency and reliability

Production chemistry challenges often arise as well stream fluids—both liquid and gas—change during processing. Because crude oil production varies in rate and composition, production chemists rely on chemical solutions to maintain flow assurance, protect equipment, and improve efficiency.

SNF develops and supplies production chemical programs that address these evolving needs across global oil and gas operations. From managing produced water and controlling scale formation to improving separation and water quality, SNF products are engineered to meet the toughest field conditions.

With decades of polymer expertise and a commitment to sustainable performance, SNF provides the reliability and technical partnership operators need to keep production flowing safely and efficiently—onshore and offshore.


Our Approach

When the well is complete, the work is far from over. Maintaining consistent oil and gas flow is a constant challenge—often due to issues within the produced water stream.

Whether preventing scale buildup in wells or separating oil, solids, and water, SNF provides the expertise, chemistry, and technical support to keep production steady. Our teams understand that each field and region presents unique conditions. That’s why we collaborate closely with operators, tailoring programs to local water compositions, temperatures, and environmental requirements.

From the Permian Basin and the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin to the Daqing, Lower Congo, Vaca Muerta, and refineries in the Gulf, SNF products have proven performance in some of the most demanding production environments worldwide.

Our Solutions

SNF’s comprehensive portfolio of production chemicals supports water treatment, scale prevention, and flow assurance—helping operators extend well life and reduce environmental impact.

Key Solutions Include:

  • Produced Water Treatment: Enhance oil/water separation with our range of HYPERFLOC™ coagulants and flocculants, designed for versatility and compatibility with all solid-liquid separation processes (flotation, sedimentation, cyclones, membranes).
  • Scale Control: Prevent common oilfield scale deposits (CaSO₄, BaSO₄, CaCO₃) with HYSPERSE™ polymeric and phosphate-based inhibitors, including SI-D100 and POLYstim SI-105N.
  • Demulsification: Improve dehydration and phase separation using AceSurf™ and BioSurfactant demulsifiers—effective across varied crude compositions and production conditions.
  • Microbial Control: Maintain water quality and system integrity with biocide programs based on ammonium quaternary (DDAC) and glutaraldehyde chemistries (Bio GQ and BioSuite GQ5-2).

Together, these chemistries improve water recycling, reduce freshwater use, and minimize environmental footprint—ensuring cleaner, more efficient production operations.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:

Enerco Services, LLC.

“Enerco operates in demanding water treatment environments where consistency, reliability, and support at the field level are absolutely critical. Before transitioning to SNF’s chemistry, we dealt with the typical industry challenges, variable incoming water quality, inconsistent floc formation, and products that didn’t always perform the same across different systems.

Once we adopted SNF’s polymer and coagulant line, the improvement was immediate and measurable. Their chemistry consistently produces stronger floc, faster settling, and predictable performance across a wide range of flow rates and recycling setups. We’ve reduced downtime, minimized onsite troubleshooting, and achieved more reliable clarity targets, results our customers recognize and appreciate.

But what truly makes SNF stand out is the strength of their team at every level. Their field support, technical specialists, logistics personnel, and leadership all operate with a level of professionalism and responsiveness that’s rare in this industry. Whether we’re bench testing a new water source, troubleshooting a unique operational challenge, or coordinating supply during high-demand periods, SNF’s people show up with urgency, expertise, and a genuine investment in our success.

It’s clear that SNF has built a culture focused on long-term partnership, not just supplying product. Their team feels aligned with our goals, supports our growth, and consistently helps us deliver exceptional results to operators across Texas. Because of that, SNF has become a foundational part of Enerco’s ability to scale and perform at a high level.

I would strongly recommend SNF to any organization that values true partnership, technical depth, and a team that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with its customers.”
