ChampionX™ nano-enabled technology portfolio
Nano-enabled solutions tailored to each asset, application, and stage of production.
We combine expertise in oilfield chemistry, nanotechnology, and field application to develop nano-enabled solutions that help customers improve production performance while reducing operational costs. Our portfolio builds on years of research, laboratory testing, field validation, and patent development to enhance established ChampionX production chemistries.
Our specialists select the optimal nanomaterials for each application and evaluate performance through laboratory studies and field deployment. This approach helps align each formulation with the asset’s reservoir conditions, production system, and business objectives.
Depending on the application, these technologies can extend treatment life, reduce interventions, and improve chemical and operational efficiency.
Proven technology, expert application
Our nano-enabled technology portfolio reflects our extensive research and development, laboratory and field testing, and patent activity.
Data-backed validation. Real field performance.
Our experts select precise combinations of nanomaterials and chemical additives for each application, then evaluate their performance in the laboratory and the field.
Scientific understanding
We apply our specialist technical expertise to determine where nano-enabled chemistry is appropriate and where another approach may be more effective.
Nano-enabled technology for production
Improve production performance with nano-enabled chemistry
Maintaining production often requires chemical treatments that manage flow assurance challenges. Our nano-enabled technologies are designed to improve the performance of production chemistries and can help reduce interventions, improve reliability, and lower total cost of operation.
We combine nano-enabled technology with established production chemistries to create formulations for specific operating challenges. Our formulations are designed to maximize chemical effectiveness, optimize treatment requirements, and deliver step-change performance improvements, all while leveraging the same rigorous laboratory validation and field expertise trusted across SLB production technologies.
XR extended-release scale squeeze
Nano-enabled chemistry for extended squeeze life
Scale squeeze treatments are widely used for scale control but can require significant initial investment, particularly offshore. Extending treatment life and reducing intervention frequency can help lower total cost of operation.
Nano-enabled scale chemistry is designed to improve inhibitor retention and support gradual release as fluids are produced, which can extend treatment life compared with conventional squeeze systems.
Explore Extended ReleaseExtended treatment life
Nano-enabled formulations are designed to improve chemical performance and extend treatment life.
Reduced interventions
Longer-lasting treatment can reduce the frequency of repeat interventions.
Improved operational efficiency
Application-specific formulations can improve treatment efficiency and support operational performance.
In the pipeline
Nano-enabled paraffin management
We are developing nano-enabled paraffin technologies to help prevent deposition and remediate existing deposits. The formulations are intended for challenging operating conditions and are being evaluated for treatment performance and total cost of operation.
Nano-enabled technology for recovery
Improve recovery from existing assets
Improving recovery from existing assets requires technologies that support sweep efficiency, chemical performance, and changing reservoir conditions. Our nano-enabled technologies are designed to help operators improve recovery from mature assets and sustain reservoir productivity.
We combine nanoparticles with established oilfield chemistries to create reservoir-specific formulations intended to improve fluid-rock interactions and help mobilize trapped hydrocarbons. Laboratory and field testing are used to evaluate performance for each application.
Featured recovery technology
Nano-enabled PROE
Nano-enabled surfactant technology for enhanced oil recovery
This nano-enabled surfactant technology is designed to help mobilize trapped hydrocarbons in heavy-oil and mature waterflood fields and support incremental production using existing infrastructure.
The technology is designed to improve surfactant penetration, transport, and contact time in mature reservoirs.
