Dispersoil
Nanofluid dispersion illuminated in an oilfield chemistry laboratory

The technology behind Dispersoil

Engineered nanofluids for targeted oilfield production chemistry.

U.S. Patent No. 10,557,077 B2

What it is

Dispersoil is based on dispersions of inorganic particles below 100 nm. Each formulation is matched to the crude characteristics and operating conditions of the well.

Keep asphaltenes and paraffins dispersed, preventing precipitation

Reduce interfacial tension and modify rock wettability

Interact with organic components of the crude

Support crude mobility in the fluid

How it acts

Particle-scale interaction supports a controlled sequence from organic dispersion to production flow.

1

Interact with organics

Target asphaltenes and paraffins in the crude.

2

Stabilize dispersion

Keep organic material suspended in the fluid.

3

Improve crude mobility

Support movement of the treated crude.

4

Support production flow

Aid flow through the near-wellbore and production system.

Nanodispersion you can see

A stable colloidal dispersion of particles below 100 nm scatters a laser beam through the fluid. This Tyndall effect is a direct, observable physical indicator of nanoscale dispersion.
