Chemistry engineered for heavy oil.

Energy Pía Chemical Technology Division of IPP Ltd

Energy Pía

High-performance specialty chemicals.

Energy Pía is the chemical technology division of IPP Ltd. We develop, blend and manufacture specialty chemicals for the most demanding challenges in oil production: heavy and extra-heavy crude dehydration, flow assurance, asset integrity, and production water treatment. Our products are formulated with state-of-the-art raw materials and field-proven in the group's own upstream operations before they reach yours.

Product Catalog

Eight product families.

Demulsifiers

Series EH-1604 / EH-1404

Crude oil dehydration through rapid, well-defined flocculation and coalescence. Effective across all emulsion types; easy to handle and disperse. Designed to bring heavy crude within international market dehydration specs.

  • Stable W/O and O/W emulsions
  • Heavy & extra-heavy crude treatment
  • Dehydration to export spec

Flow Improvers

EnergyFLOW®

Long-chain poly-alpha-olefin polymer dispersed in a vegetable-oil carrier. Reduces friction pressure loss and can increase pipeline flow capacity by up to 100% — deferring the capital cost of new lines.

  • Up to 100% flow capacity increase
  • Pipeline friction reduction
  • Turbulent-flow injection

Corrosion & Scale Inhibitors

Protection against CO₂, H₂S, organic acids and O₂ corrosion. Scale inhibitors selected case-by-case for each scale type after water analysis.

  • CO₂, H₂S, organic acid & O₂ protection
  • Water analysis–based selection
  • Pipelines, tubulars & facilities

Paraffin & Asphaltene Inhibitors

Downhole chemistry that prevents and removes paraffin and asphaltene deposition in tubing and flowlines, and helps resolve near-wellbore emulsions — promoting upstream water-oil separation.

  • Tubing & flowline deposition control
  • Near-wellbore emulsion resolution
  • Downhole injection compatible

H₂S & O₂ Scavengers

Sequestering agents designed to minimize environmental impact and protect personnel. Reduce unplanned shutdowns, improve facility integrity, and lower demand for emulsion breakers and water clarifiers.

  • H₂S elimination at wellhead & in lines
  • O₂ scavenging in injection water
  • HSE compliance support

Biocides

Control of bacterial growth that accelerates corrosion and generates H₂S. Formulated to address sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB) in produced water, injection systems, and facilities.

  • SRB & APB control
  • MIC (microbiologically induced corrosion)
  • Injection water systems

Antifoams

Foam surface-tension modifiers that protect pump capacity and primary separator efficiency, increasing oil yields. Fast-acting, low-dosage formulations for production systems and gas processing facilities.

  • Separator efficiency recovery
  • Pump protection
  • Low dosage, fast-acting

Water Treatment Line

Coagulants and flocculants for injection water treatment plants (suspended solids removal, improved coalescence and filtration). Reverse breakers that recover hydrocarbon traces from formation water with minimal solid carryover.

  • Coagulants & flocculants
  • Injection water quality programs
  • Hydrocarbon recovery from produced water

R&D

Next-generation treatment technologies.

Energy Pía maintains an active development program in advanced materials for oilfield treatment applications. Details available under NDA.
