Upstream Chemistry

The upstream oil and gas sector demands innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. SciDev delivers cutting-edge chemical solutions engineered to optimise well performance from drilling to production, maximising ROI and minimising environmental impact. We partner with operators to conquer the complexities of the modern well, offering tailored chemistries that enhance productivity, reduce costs, reuse water and ensure sustainable operations.

The Upstream Challenge: A Data-Driven Perspective

The scale of water management in oil and gas operations is immense, presenting both challenges and opportunities for innovation: Globally, it’s estimated that for every barrel of oil, an average of 5 barrels of water are produced. In the U.S. alone, oil and gas operations generate over 20 billion barrels (approximately 840 billion gallons) of produced water annually. Effectively managing, treating and reusing this vast quantity of produced water requires robust chemical solutions like those developed by SciDev, ensuring it can be safely handled, recycled, or disposed of.
