In response to COVID-19, Schlumberger’s M-I SWACO business unit in Broussard, Louisiana, is using part of its manufacturing facility to produce hand sanitizer.
The facility is a leading manufacturer of oilfield blended chemical products and has supporting services that include quality control laboratories, an extensive supply chain and a logistical network. It has products in all major production treating application segments including emulsion control, corrosion inhibition, scale prevention, paraffin control, gas hydrate inhibition and solids dispersion.
“By adjusting the manufacturing processes at the facility in Broussard, to date, more than 2,000 gallons of hand sanitizer have been manufactured and donated to community health centers, frontline responders and local authorities as well as our own locations in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota and Texas,” says Karin Fisher, Plant Manager.
