Proprietary technologies built on supermolecular pre-construction, quantum chemistry molecular design, viscoelastic surfactant self-assembly, and CO2-responsive polymer systems -- validated to petroleum industry first-class standards.
At NanoChem Petroleum Solutions, our technology platform is built on fundamental advances in polymer science, surface chemistry, and molecular design. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf chemical formulations, we engineer solutions at the molecular and supermolecular scale to address the specific challenges of high-temperature, high-salinity, and ultra-deep well environments.
Our supermolecular pre-construction technology creates nanometer-scale water transport channels inside dry polymer powders, enabling dissolution in 1-3 minutes versus hours for conventional systems. Our quantum chemistry molecular design platform uses Materials Studio software to screen and optimize corrosion inhibitor molecules from first principles. Our VES self-assembly technology exploits pH-triggered micelle transformation for intelligent acid diversion.
Every technology in our portfolio has been developed through rigorous laboratory evaluation against Chinese petroleum industry standards (SY/T series) and validated through field deployment across some of the most demanding operating environments in the world -- from Bohai Sea offshore platforms to 7,000-meter ultra-deep wells.
Nanometer-scale water channels created inside dry powders using non-covalent bond dynamics for instant dissolution via internal disintegration.
Materials Studio-based molecular dynamics and quantum calculations to design corrosion inhibitors with optimized adsorption configurations.
pH-responsive viscoelastic surfactant molecules that transform from spherical to worm-like micelles for intelligent acid diversion in heterogeneous reservoirs.
Polymers that form three-dimensional network structures only in CO2 environments, with enhancer-released crosslinkers for high-strength gel formation.
The scientific foundations behind our product performance. Each technology platform addresses specific limitations of conventional oilfield chemistry.
Conventional polymers dissolve through slow surface gelation, requiring maturation tanks and 2+ hours of preparation. Our supermolecular pre-construction technology creates nanometer-scale water transport channels inside dry powder particles using non-covalent bond dynamic reversibility. When the powder contacts water, dissolution occurs from "internal disintegration" -- water penetrates through the pre-built channels and breaks the structure from within, achieving complete dissolution in 1-3 minutes. Salt resistance is achieved through hydrophobic association interactions that actually strengthen under high-salinity conditions (the salt-induced enhancement effect), enabling high-efficiency viscosity in reservoirs exceeding 30,000 mg/L total dissolved solids.
For corrosion inhibitors targeting ultra-deep wells (6,200-7,000m) where temperatures reach 150-180°C, conventional molecules suffer thermal degradation and lose adsorption capacity. We use Materials Studio software for quantum chemistry calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to design inhibitor molecules from first principles. The design philosophy combines "anti-temperature monomers" with "strong adsorption capacity" molecular structures, screening for optimal adsorption configurations, functional group types, and spatial architectures. The resulting inhibitors achieve corrosion rates from 4.876 g/(m²·h) at 90°C to 63.786 g/(m²·h) at 180°C -- all meeting petroleum industry first-class standards.
Carbonate reservoir heterogeneity causes acid to flow preferentially to high-permeability zones, leaving low-permeability areas untreated. Our VES (Viscoelastic Surfactant) diverting agent exploits pH sensitivity and metal cation chelation. In fresh acid (pH <1), VES molecules exist as low-viscosity spherical or short rod micelles. As acid reacts with carbonate rock, calcium ion concentration rises and pH increases, causing VES self-assembly parameters to shift. Molecules transform into worm-like micelles that entangle to form a three-dimensional network, increasing viscosity from <10 mPa·s to 350 mPa·s. This creates a temporary plug in high-permeability channels, diverting subsequent acid to low-permeability zones. On contact with formation hydrocarbons, the network breaks down for clean flowback.
For CO2 flooding operations where conventional plugging agents have poor stability, we developed polymers that respond specifically to CO2 environments. The CO2-responsive polymer forms a three-dimensional network structure when exposed to CO2, increasing system viscosity. Simultaneously, enhancer compounds release crosslinking agents in the CO2 environment that crosslink with the responsive polymer to form high-strength gel. Combined with CO2 acid-resistant foam (amphiphilic surfactants that become positively charged after protonation under CO2, forming dense interfacial films), the composite system achieves plugging rates exceeding 96% and gas reduction rates exceeding 98% across the 40-90°C temperature range.
