Meeting Challenges Through Excellence, Experiences and Expertise

Oil Chem Technologies provides State of the Art surfactant technology for oil field, specializing in Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery including SP and ASP and heavy oil recovery without steam and solvent.

Since our entrance into the Improved Oil Recovery industry in 1995, Oil Chem Technologies, Inc. (OCT) has been a leader in the development and application of surfactants.  Located in Sugar Land, TX, OCT makes every effort to develop products that are green, low toxicity and sustainable at the minimum cost to our customers.

We are differentiated from other EOR surfactants suppliers with a combined 21 years of actual field chemical EOR success, experience, and State-of-the-Art patented surfactant technologies, in alliance with world-class chemical manufacturers to provide field proven surfactants for EOR.

Oil Chem's ORS-41  was injected in 1995 in Daqing, China and successfully established the use of low surfactant concentration field-wide ASP. Oil Chem has since provided over 80 Million pounds of surfactant that have successfully been injected worldwide at an average concentration of 0.1 wt % - 0.3 wt % without co-surfactant, co-solvent, or salinity optimization. This eliminates additional cost and handling and also the possibility of chromatographic separation due to preferential absorption onto the reservoir or partitioning between the oil and injection brine during propagation through the reservoir.

In addition to developing unique, state of the art products for EOR, fracturing, acidizing, heavy oil recovery, oil sands production, shale and unconventional reservoirs, Oil Chem's products have found use in other industries and applications including asphalt emulsifiers, mining, anti-foaming agents,  catalysts, wetting agents, dispersants, foaming agents, and demulsifiers.
