Opportunities-Two Markets

• Product/Process– Drilling– Transmission– Separation– Storage– Refining– Water Treatment

• Facilities/Capital Equipment– Rigs– Pipelines– Tanks– Process equipment– Structures– Inventory

FORM ALLIANCES

Hot Topics – Production/Process

• Black Powder– Solid contaminant– Cause a range of problems

• Product contamination• Erosion wear in compressors • Clogging of instrument and filter equipment• Contamination for product consumer

– Erosion and sealing problems for valves, and flow reduction

Hot Topics – Production/Process

• Top of Line & Bottom of Line protection– TOL | Corrosive gas such as H2S– BOL | Water– Mixed phase

• Three-phase– One product injected at well head– Provide protection to water, oil and gas as

they come out of the separation process

Hot Topics – Production/Process

• EcoFlow System– Mature fields > 10% water content– Drag reducer/flow enhancer– Protection

• Scale• Micro-bacterial activity• Corrosion

Products – Production/Process

• Corrosorber Liquid – H2S scavenger

• S7 – Oxygen Scavenger

• S16 – De-foaming agent

• VpCI-647 – Water treatment (scale/corrosion)

• VpCI 637GLE– Black Powder– TOL & BOL corrosion

Eco Flow System

• Operator/owners face loss of revenue in mature fields due to decreased operating flow due to corrosion caused in part by increased water injection

• Cortec CPS Eco Flow System provides a solution

Eco Flow System

• Two part system– Part A

• Protects against scale, corrosion and micro-bacterial growth

– Part B• Drag reducer/flow enhancer• To be effective flow line must have >10% water

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Equipment – Manufacture– Shipping & storage– Inventory– Onsite– Operation– Maintenance– Lay-up

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Structures– Construction– Operation– Maintenance– Lay-up

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Pumps/Turbines/Compressors– Lay-up, shipping, on site and inventory

• Fog flow path with VpCI 337• Add M529 to oil or fog VpCI 322 into lubrication

system• Place emitters in all control panels/junction boxes• Clean external surfaces with VpCI 416• Coat all exposed machined surfaces with VpCI 391• Wrap with VpCI 126 or Milcorr

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Pumps/Turbines/Compressors– Operation

• M529 in operating oil• Emitters in control panels/junction boxes• Depending on type of system, additive to flow path

of pump or compressor

• Boilers & HRSG– Lay-up, shipping, on site and inventory

• Assembled units: Fog waterside and fireside with VpCI 337

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Boilers & HRSG– Lay-up, shipping, on site and inventory

• Tube and header assemblies– Fog ID with VpCI 337– Spray OD with VpCI 337– Wrap with either VpCI 126 film or Milcorr

• Loose parts: Set up inventory management program

– Operation• Add VpCI water treatment products• Need alliance with water treatment company

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Gearboxes– Lay-up, shipping, on site and inventory

• Add M529 to oil or fog oil system with VpCI 322• Clean external surfaces with VpCI 416• Coat all exposed machined surfaces with VpCI 391• Wrap with VpCI 126 or Milcorr

– Operation• Add M529 to oil

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Vessels– Lay-up, shipping, on site

• Depending on service– Fog VpCI 337– VpCI 705– Install Tyvek pouches

• Motors– Lay-up, shipping, on site and inventory

• Spray with VpCI 239• Wrap with VpCI 126 or Milcorr with Tyvek pouches

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Structures– MCI– Emitters– Coatings

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Maintenance– Plant or rig piping systems (piping, pumps,

valves, condensers and heat exchangers)• Clean with rust remover and neutralize with

cleaner• Depending on system add one of the applicable

VpCI additives

– External rust• Clean with rust remover and neutralize with

cleaner• Coat with temporary or permanent coating

Facilities – Capital Equipment

• Hydro-test– M645 + S7

• Pre-mix S7 so that you do not get a sludge or a pile of powder left in vessel

– VpCI 649– Ecoline 3220

Summary

• Areas of Opportunity– Process Additives

• Black Powder• TOL & BOL• Three-phase split

– Treatment of process fluids; Rigs and Tank farm

– Eco Flow– Fire Protection System

Summary

• Areas of Opportunity– Plant cooling water systems– Warehouse inventory– Maintenance– Coatings– MCI in concrete coating for subsea pipe
