Novel Chemistries and Optimization
Lowering Costs and Maximizing Hydrocarbon Production in Asia Pacific
July 13 & 27 and August 17 & 31
Register for the webinar series here.
Join the ChampionX Asia Pacific team and global subject matter experts to learn how our chemical technologies are advancing production efficiency for our customers through improved production rates and reduced downtime.
Throughout Asia Pacific, new greenfield and brownfield projects are being sanctioned, including Deepwater, Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. Producers are looking for ways to produce more from less and for longer, but excessive water production, declining well output, asset corrosion, scale, and fouling can be a major financial and operational resource drain.
In this webinar series, the ChampionX team will demonstrate how using advanced technologies, combined with good project management processes, can maximize economic recovery from existing assets or reduce CAPEX costs and complexity for new projects.
Each hour-long interactive session will cover a different topic, including scale challenges, the breakthrough impact of cEOR, developments in paraffin technologies, and microbial solutions. By the end of each session, you will have a better understanding of how the discussed technologies could be of benefit to your asset. Space is limited, so REGISTER NOW to reserve your spot.
Webinar Event Information
Session 1: Tipping the Scale
13 July 2021 from 13:30pm to 14:30pm (SGT - Singapore Time)
Description: During this session, our experts will discuss the various options available to address your mineral scale challenges, including treatments designed to prevent near wellbore/tubing deposition and solutions to mitigate scaling in wells aggravated by artificial lift systems. An enhanced surveillance program is a critical element of a scale control program. Presenters Clare Johnston and Louise Sutherland will share best practices in ensuring a holistic understanding of the performance of your scale management program’s performance.

Session 2: Breaking the Barrier
27 July 2021 from 13:30pm to 14:30pm (SGT - Singapore Time)
Description: In this session, ChampionX experts will discuss the breakthrough impact of cEOR and the typical process problems which may occur. We will also cover the adverse impacts on incumbent production chemical applications and how these can be addressed proactively via the use of specially developed chemistry, designed to tackle some of the unique challenges associated with back-produced chemical EOR.
Presenters Robin Shields and Ben Lownie will share case histories from successful applications in treating issues caused by polymer flooding and other cEOR techniques.
Presenter: Robin Shields, Technical Manager EOR
About Robin: Robin holds a BSc in Chemistry and has over 20 years’ industry experience. His previous role as a senior research fellow at Heriot-Watt University involved leading studies into water shut-off, polymer flooding, sand consolidation and low salinity waterflooding projects. Robin has authored or co-authored multiple research papers and peer-reviewed journal articles and has chaired or co-chaired SPE EOR and water management workshops.
Presenter: Ben Lownie, Technical Authority
About Ben: Ben joined ChampionX in 2006 and has held both sales and technical roles in our production chemistries business. With an initial focus on field deployments and production chemistry, Ben has supported customer capex projects in Europe from initial feasibility through to first oil. Ben’s experience includes delivery of effective chemical management systems, evaluation and troubleshooting of production chemistry risks, and more recently, the deployment and impact of ChampionX EOR technologies.
Session 3: Go with the Flow
17 August 2021 from 13:30pm to 14:30pm (SGT - Singapore Time)
Description: Wax inhibitors and pour point depressants are some of the most widely used solutions to mitigate wax problems. However, selecting the right product for your specific crude oil is key and is often impacted by limitations of current laboratory techniques
In this webinar, presenters Alfred Hase, Kasper Baack, Saugata Gon, and Heather Blackwood will present exciting new developments in wax testing and show examples of how this has helped customers solve challenges previously thought to be untreatable.
Presenter: Dr. Alfred Hase, Senior RD&E Group Leader – Flow Assurance
About Alfred: Alfred has more than 20 years of experience in flow assurance-related topics, such as wax, asphaltenes, low dosage hydrate inhibitors and H2S scavengers. Alfred joined ChampionX in 2002 and currently leads projects related to PPD / wax inhibitor product development for specific oil fields in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Presenter: Kasper Baack, Lead Chemist – Flow Assurance
About Kasper: Kasper has an MSc in Chemical Technology and has worked in technical roles in the chemical and upstream oil and gas industry since 2006.
