History

PMI-107 has its origins 20 years ago in the Western

Canadian Sedimentary Basin. This development was

a new approach to dealing with the heavy paraffin

waxes and asphaltenes present in those limestone,

shale and sandstone formations. The product has

now been refined and has built on those early

successes with current activity in the Middle East,

backed up with independent third party verification.

Services with PMI-107

• Paraffin and asphaltene wax formation

• Pipeline plugging or restrictions

• Corrosion of pipeline, tanks and equipment

• Wax build up in pipeline or plant facilities

• Scaling and emulsions

• Difficulties in removing H2S

• Excessive pressure, reduced volumes

• Low productivity

• High maintenance costs

Common problems

• PMI-107 is formed by using molecular chemistry to

make a charged or an anionic blended compound.

• It has an affinity for any positively charged carbon

or stainless steel surface, where it is drawn to the

steel it forms a protective barrier film

• Typically, results can vary depending on

project but can be as short as 24 hours

What is PMI-107?

were recovered, shipped and

sold with zero downtime, while

dropping the emulsions to zero

and shipping 30,000 recovered

barrels of oil!

We can also remove the in-

Lab report – “For both the welded and parent metal coupons,

general corrosion rates of approximately 0.06-0.07 mm/yr

were obtained at both concentrations of corrosion inhibitor,

indicating satisfactory corrosion inhibition and/or protective

film formation as the value is lower than 0.1 mm/yr.”

“The well produces very high internal corrosion rates and the pipelines suffer from high levels of wax deposition

which resulted in one of the pipelines becoming fully blocked.

PMI-107 was introduced into the field as a multipurpose product to primarily manage the internal corrosion risk and

prevent future blockages due to wax build up. Following its introduction into the field some 12 months ago, PMI-107

has marked a step change in terms of managing corrosion and wax in our pipelines.

During a stringent corrosion testing programme undertaken in the UK, the inhibitor was shown to exhibit the

corrosion rates to below industry standards and the field water sampling and coupon results have backed up its

solid performance in the field.

In addition to the wax and corrosion inhibition, we have gone from measureable amounts of water in the export

crude to virtually no water in the crude. Based on this product, we have been very impressed with the performance

of this chemical in both lab trials and field performance”
