Drill Pipe & Completion Chemicals

Advanced chemical technologies that protect drill pipe and completion systems from corrosion, scale, oxygen, and H₂S-related challenges in demanding downhole environments.

Drill Pipe Protection

Drill Pipe Protection

Jacam Catalyst delivers a comprehensive drill pipe protection program designed to improve performance, reduce risk, and enhance operational efficiency. Our approach combines advanced chemistry, precise application, and responsive field support to protect assets throughout drilling operations. All chemicals are delivered via fully equipped drilling trailers with metered dosing systems and batch treatment capabilities. Trailers are properly grounded and outfitted with required connections to ensure safe and consistent application. Chemicals are typically injected into the suction pit through UV-resistant tubing unless otherwise specified.

Our field representatives visit each location regularly to ensure optimal chemical performance and system integrity. Responsibilities include managing chemical inventory, verifying treatment rates, monitoring applications, and evaluating drilling fluid conditions, including H₂S, pH, and sulfites.

Detailed reporting is provided throughout the project, including chemical usage, cost tracking, corrosion data, and site observations. A comprehensive end-of-well report summarizes all activity, including chemical deliveries, projected vs. actual costs, and performance data. Our trained teams ensure consistent execution, delivering reliable, high-performance results that protect assets and improve operational outcomes.

Drill Out

Drill Out

Jacam Catalyst builds and operates our fleet of mixing plants and filter pods for drill-out operations. All equipment is designed for full redundancy to ensure minimal downtime during the job. This enables the unit to operate even in the event of pump failures. Units range from small, with 2-25bbl tubs, to 2-40bbl tub units. These tubs are treated with a chemical that is continuously metered by pumps based on flow rates to prevent pressure dips and spikes that occur with standard bucketing operations.

Since the chemical is metered, reports can be generated with real-time chemical doses, slug information, and flow rates. The larger tubs also allow for full product hydration even in the coldest waters. Our mixing plant operators are very knowledgeable about our chemistry and typically assist with field problem-solving to minimize stuck pipe.

Product research and development is performed in West Texas with an in-house Chandler flow loop, lubricity tester, sliding friction tester, viscometers, and full-scale 5 ½ casing loop to test gel sweep performance. This is in addition to the full laboratory services offered by Jacam Catalyst.

Chem-Add Solutions

Jacam Catalyst provides all products and equipment needed for optimal fluid management during fracturing operations. Our chemistry and equipment provide the viscosity and lubricity required for today's extended-reach clean-outs. The product line includes viscosifiers (guar and xanthan), pipe-on-pipe lubricants, friction reducers, and dyes to optimize the debris removal and horsepower requirements for coiled tubing operations.

Our chem-add uses a modular pumping system sized to the application rather than a one-size-fits-all pump and flow meter. This allows for extremely accurate pump rates and chemical usage (a variance of less than +/- 0.5% is the typical target). The Jacam Catalyst Chem-Add system is hydraulic and has low voltage. Continuous application for injection rates from 0.05 – 10.0 GPT (gallons per thousand) is possible with our Chem-Add System. We utilize customized manifolds to inject the chemical, either before the frac tanks or between the frac tanks and the blender.

Fracture Fluids

Jacam Catalyst provides all products necessary for slickwater, cross-linked, or acid fracturing. This includes but is not limited to guar slurries (varying guar loading available), KCl substitutes, non-emulsifiers, cross-linkers, breakers, scale inhibitors, biocides, surfactants, cation/anion friction reducers, acid corrosion inhibitors, and micro-emulsions.

All recommendations can be provided with the necessary pre-qualification testing, such as high-pressure/temperature rheology, friction-reducer loop evaluation, surface tension evaluation, emulsion tendency, kill study, and scale inhibition testing. Products can be provided in totes or ISOs, depending upon the logistics required. We aim to tailor the fluid system to provide cost-effective solutions that enhance the stimulation treatment.
