WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST AND

Life-Cycle Partnerships

PARTNERSHIP Nalco Champion takes a life-cycle approach to both projects and partnerships. While “Exploring the Operational Depths” at this year’s Deepwater Ops, our people will focus on the issues that most challenge your operations. But first, we want to focus on you.

Thank you for the challenges you send our way and the lasting partnerships — and friendships — we’ve built.

As your true global partner, we will work to protect your people through our commitment to Goal Zero, as we strive for zero safety incidents for all who interact with our products and services at all times. We will support operational efficiency globally through our secure supply chain, knowledge sharing network and automated solutions. And we will continue the collaborative approach that consistently overcomes energy’s most complex challenges. Now let’s get solving.

AS WE MOVE FROM OIL-DOMINATED OIL FIELDS TO WATER-DOMINATED OIL FIELDS, THE COSTS RELATED TO MANAGING PRODUCED WATER INCREASE DRAMATICALLY. ONLY NALCO CHAMPION OFFERS EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH OILFIELD CHEMICALS AND SPECIALTY PRODUCED WATER AND INJECTION WATER TREATMENT PROGRAMS.

WHEN PRODUCTION CHALLENGES YOU, CHALLENGE US. Solving complex water challenges in every phase of production PROBLEM

SCALE

Life-Cycle Solutions

Scale formation in the near well bore area often requires the application of a scale inhibitor squeeze treatment.

Nalco Champion is the leader in the supply of squeeze solutions at all phases of your project’s lifecycle.

SOLUTION

PRE-PRODUCTION SQUEEZES Uncertainties in the formation water composition or the risk of scale formation at low water cuts may require the application of scale inhibitor early in the life of a production well. Applying scale inhibitor within completion fluids can minimize mitigation costs.

Doing so eliminates the need for a separate pumping program to treat the well, minimizes production deferment and enables accurate sampling of produced water to assist in the development of a successful scale management strategy.

IMPROVING CONTINUAL AND CONVENTIONAL SQUEEZES

PROBLEM

WATER INJECTION Life-cycle expertise — from initial waterflood design to final field wind down — is critical to the success of your project. Nalco Champion subject matter experts (SMEs) can assist with every phase of water injection. We provide consulting and on-site, hands-on problem-solving to support day-to-day production while strategically guiding every phase of your decades-long operation. Our experience includes peak treatments of just over 9 million barrels of seawater a day. From 10,000 to 600,000 barrels of water, we are ready to meet your challenges.

Nalco Champion is the industry leader in managing the squeeze through design, qualification, deployment and continuous optimization. We have a well-established global portfolio addressing a number of challenges, including long producing intervals and multizone completions.

In complex multiple wellsingle riser configurations, well tests and residual collection on individual wells

can be difficult and result in lost production. Nalco Champion has developed analytical technologies to differentiate between multiple phosphorus or polymer chemistries in the same brine sample, giving you the flexibility to take mixed stream samples without sacrificing production.

SOLUTION

OPTIMIZING SULFATE REMOVAL TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE Water floods, like deepwater projects, are complex. Our proven portfolio of PermaCare® Membrane Treatment solutions keeps your plant operating at peak efficacy. Our programs

include on-site service and in-house membrane autopsies to diagnose and troubleshoot performance issues

PROBLEM

BACTERIA Nalco Champion overcomes the hefty limitations of common technologies and culture-dependent methods to deliver unmatched microbiological control. We start with a three-step process: 1. Microbial risk assessment 2. Connecting risk to key performance indicators 3. Identifying a best-in-class chemistry and application We back our process with dedicated staff and world-class technologies and give you the complete, asset-specific information you need to make strong decisions.

From biofilms to flow cytometry, Nalco Champion invests in the tools and the expertise necessary to deliver production transforming, industry-leading data measurement, interpretation and application.

SOLUTION

ACCUCOUNTTM AccuCountTM is the only microbial enumeration technology designed to measure both active and dormant microorganisms in the oil field.

Equipped with AccuCountTM technology, your Nalco Champion engineer can test

solids, coupons, production fluid and hydrocarbon-based samples with 98 percent accuracy and deliver results within 10 minutes.

QUANTITATIVE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (QPCR) With our culture-independent absolute microbial quantification, we measure fluorescence incorporated into DNA and convert the measurement to a total microbe number. Through sample

analysis, we can accurately identify the total organism number and the potential associated risk.

NEXT GENERATION DNA SEQUENCING (PGM) We use in-depth, culture-independent DNA sequencing to form a comprehensive view of both the

organisms in your system and their risk to your system.

BIOCIDES

PROBLEM

With more than 50 formulations available globally, Nalco Champion biocides begin with lab-tested base technologies

adapted by our microbiologists and chemists to your asset and your specific microbial risk.

HYDRATES We take a proactive approach to hydrate mitigation. We develop a holistic strategy for your asset and provide tactical support—from designing your start-up or shutdown procedure to qualifying a solution.

SOLUTION

HIGH WATER CUT INHIBITORS Methanol injection becomes more difficult as water cuts rise above 50 percent later in the life of a well. While early generations of anti-agglomerate hydrate inhibitors were limited by water cut and resulted in poor water quality, Nalco Champion has developed anti-

agglomerant technology independently verified for greater than 70 percent water cut while maintaining superb water quality.
