Oil and Gas

Efficiency, Productivity, And Reliable Process Control

For decades, Momentive has pioneered oil and gas innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, productivity, and process reliability.

Our additives, such as SAG™ antifoams, Silwet™ silicone surfactants, Silbreak™ demulsifiers, Indusil™ silicones, and the Element14™ PDMS line, are utilized globally to increase oil and gas productivity, reduce operational costs, and improve overall performance. ​

These solutions are trusted across a wide range of oil and gas applications, making Momentive a leader in the industry.​

Upstream

High-Performance Additives for Enhanced Oil and Gas Operations

Momentive offers cutting-edge chemical solutions designed to optimize upstream oil and gas operations, including foam control, demulsification, and surface modification for drilling, completion, and production operations. ​

Our SAG™ and Silbreak™ foam control agents are ideal for use in gas/oil separators, drilling muds, completion fluids, and amine units. ​

Silbreak™ silicone demulsifiers and non-emulsifiers improve the performance of organic formulations, aiding in crude oil production and waste oil recovery, while also serving as effective non-emulsifiers in completion fluids and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes. 

Silwet™ silicone surfactants and Indusil™ silicones are essential for applications in completion fluids, EOR, well unloading, proppants treatment, and foam drilling.​​

To further enhance well productivity, Momentive provides a unique fines control additive specifically designed for acidizing processes.​

Downstream

Specialized Chemical Solutions for Highest Final Product Quality

Momentive provides tailored chemical solutions for downstream oil and gas operations, focusing on enhancing operational efficiency and product quality through a broad range of antifoams and demulsifiers. ​

Our advanced SAG™ silicone antifoam emulsions are highly effective in gas sweetening, distillation, wastewater treatment, and butadiene extraction processes, while polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used in delayed coking units.

Silbreak™ demulsifiers are specifically designed for crude oil desalting and refined product dehazing, ensuring optimal separation and superior product performance.​

Foam Control and Dehazing Solutions for Diesel Fuel and Lube Oil Applications

Discover Momentive's high-performance silicone antifoams, specifically designed for diesel fuel, lube oil, and other refined products. ​

Our organo-modified silicones and fluoro-silicones deliver exceptional foam control and dehazing at minimal dose rates, making them the ideal go-to solution. ​

SAG™ silicone antifoams effectively minimize overflow and spillage during diesel fuel filling, ensuring faster and near-complete tank fill-ups. ​

These advanced chemistries not only prevent foam formation but also break down existing foam while enhancing water separation, improving the overall performance of additive packages.​

LNG Plants

Optimized Foam Control for Gas Sweetening

Gas sweetening in LNG plants requires the removal of acidic gases, such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) from natural gas through amine scrubbing. ​

To maintain operational efficiency and prevent equipment issues, effective foam control is essential. Momentive provides SAG™ 7133, an advanced silicone antifoam emulsion specifically engineered for gas sweetening processes. This high-performance solution ensures smooth and efficient operations by effectively controlling and reducing foam formation in amine units, thereby enhancing overall process reliability and performance.​
