BASF Oilfield Chemicals creates chemistry, and with that comes a dedication to understanding how the science works in real-world applications. Understanding the scientific foundation and performance of our demulsifier chemistries was the aim of a recent training session at our dedicated Oilfield chemicals lab in Houston, Texas. If you think a lab training would be reserved for only our technical experts, think again. The training, conducted by NBD Manager Stefan Dilsky, brought together the lab and sales teams for a deep dive on demulsifiers – how they work, why they work and when they work best. With 15 years of R&D and field experience globally, Stefan emphasized the importance of thinking holistically about product performance, from the lab to the well. Our focus on cultivating deep technical knowledge across functions means that both our sales and scientific teams can work effectively to understand customer challenges, so that we can provide customers with the right solutions. #thisisoilfield #oilfieldchemicals #teamBASF #demulsifiers

At BASF Oilfield Chemicals, excellence is a product of focus, commitment and passion for the oilfield. And it is not a destination, but a continuous journey. In May 2024, we proudly announced our decision to invest in expanding the production of our Basoflux® portfolio in Tarragona, Spain. Since that announcement we’ve worked hard to achieve the milestones we set. First up, we aimed to increase production of our novel, nano-dispersion #paraffininhibitor technology, Basoflux® PI 6410. This was completed in October of 2024 allowing us to produce market-leading quantities of our proven, winterized paraffin inhibitor. Our Phase 2 plans in Tarragona are well on their way! We’ve achieved initial production efficiencies that have optimized costs for select Basoflux® products, resulting in benefits for our customers. Find out more about how our latest Basoflux® efficiency gains can help you “go with the flux” by reaching out to your BASF sales manager, or by visiting us here: https://lnkd.in/dY4nrGFM #thisisoilfield #teambasf #oilfieldchemicals #highperformance

In Formula 1, the most successful teams don’t just race against their rivals — they race against perfection. That was the key message from Mark Gallagher, former Formula 1 executive and high-performance expert with Performance Insights Ltd, who recently joined the BASF Oilfield Chemicals team to share insights from three decades at the heart of the sport. In a world driven by data, innovation and precision, it’s ultimately the people who make the difference. Mark highlighted how F1 teams deliver results under pressure by aligning around a common goal, moving with agility, and making rapid, informed decisions. BASF Oilfield Chemicals operates with the same ambition. Our high-performing chemical solutions and deep scientific expertise put us in pole position to serve our customers, but what takes us to the podium is a team who understands the needs of the oilfield. Focused, committed, and striving for more for our customers. #thisisoilfield.

The old saying is that oil 🛢️and water 💧 don’t mix, right? But visit an oil production operation, and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, most crude oil leaves the reservoir as a water-in-oil mixture, known in the industry as an #emulsion. For oil producers, breaking this emulsion is critical, and a chemical #demulsifier is just the tool for the job. BASF Oilfield Chemicals’ broad range of #highperforming demulsifiers, the Basorol® portfolio, has been deployed by customers in oilfields across the globe - with proven #effectiveness and #reliability. Learn more about the amazing chemistry of demulsifiers below, and then download our brand new Basorol® brochure here: https://lnkd.in/dipnVGKE #teambasf #thisisoilfield #oilproduction #oilfieldchemicals #highperformance

May is #NationalInventorsMonth in the U.S., and we couldn’t let it pass without a spotlight on an invention critical to the BASF Oilfield Chemicals portfolio - Basoflux® PI 6410. ❄️In some parts of the world, oil crews operate in environments as cold as -40 degrees C/F, and it’s common in these climates to have waxy or paraffinic crudes. These can be treated with chemistry (#paraffininhibitors), but in Arctic conditions transporting and storing chemicals is a challenge, as most freeze in the remote fields.❄️ Customers needed a high-performing paraffin inhibitor, at a sufficiently high concentration, that could remain liquid at extremely low temperatures. The solution didn’t exist, so #TeamBASF invented it! Creating chemistry that enables customers to perform at their maximum, #thisisoilfield.

When it comes to #surfactants for #enhancedoilrecovery, there is a lot of chatter around one question in particular: What is the most important characteristic for a successful surfactant formulation? After an award-winning speech (👏🏻at IOR+) answering this very question for unconventional cEOR, our EOR Lab Leader George Herman, will follow it up with the importance in selecting the right surfactants for conventional cEOR at the Oman Petroleum & Energy Show. Learn more about how the BASF Oilfield Chemicals team is turning #residual into #revenue through #innovative and #highperforming surfactant solutions. #thisisoilfield #teambasf #oilfieldchemicals #eor
