Advanced chemistry for challenging produced-water systems.
Shale Chem develops tailored chemistry programs for high-TDS and high-TSS oilfield water — focused on iron sulphide control, scale management, corrosion reduction, SWD optimization, and produced-water recycling.
The chemistry only matters if the numbers do.
Capacity unlocked.
Black, solids-laden SWD influent treated to clear in four hours — throughput grew from 3,500 to 16,000 barrels per day and improved oil recovery downstream.
Corrosion held.
Coupon immersion testing in 180,000 ppm TDS brine — SCL 8054 held the rate below 1.2 mpy across 52 continuous weeks.
Less chemistry. More clarity.
Produced water over 200 ppm iron and 250,000 ppm TDS, clarified to under 0.5 ppm TSS and soluble iron at just 80–100 ppm OC 360.

Lower dose rates. Lower footprint.
Conventional production and water-treatment chemistries are dosed to overcome their own inefficiency. Ours aren’t. OC 360 clarifies produced water at one-sixth the dose rate of ferric chloride. SCL 8054 protects steel at sub-mpy rates across the full salinity spectrum.
Less chemistry shipped. Less in the waste stream. Less freight per barrel treated. The environmental case and the operational case are the same case.
We don’t sell chemistry. We sell what the chemistry does.
Tell us what you’re fighting in the field.
We start every program by diagnosing the system — DSL testing, brine analysis, field conditions. Then we design chemistry for the problem you actually have.
