Research and development center

Continuous perfection and development is the leading principle of the Himprom activities. A research and development center within Himprom, LLC was created with the view of developing the product portfolio, modification of the existing customers' process design, elaboration of unique products and innovative technology solutions.

ABOUT THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Innovative partnership with the Russian and foreign oil field service companies, elaboration and delivery of unique solutions are the priority area of the Research and Development Center’s activity. All the necessary conditions were created for that – a laboratory complex of the Research and Development Center within Himprom, LLC is staffed with highly qualified specialists and fitted with modern equipment of the leading international manufacturers (CTE, Brookfield, Fann), making it possible to carry out the research activities at a high scientific and technical level.

Unique products of the R&D Center

DRILLING CHEMICALS
HimBRIDGE
a consolidating bridge system of drilling mud, is a multi-component system designed to stabilize rocks during well drilling, the basis of the system includes:
TerraHib ALP organoaluminum complex - a sediment-forming aluminate-organic complex. It is deposited in the mouths of pores, microcracks and interplanar space of clay rocks as a result of a decrease in the pH of the environment;
HimSeal latex consolidator - nano- and micronized deformable latex that provides sealing of pores and microcracks in the rock;
HimLube RG poroelastic graphite - variously shaped sorted synthetic graphite designed to block the mouths of pores and microcracks, mechanically strengthen the wellbore zone.
01
DRILLING CHEMICALS
NeoInvert Bent
is an organobentonite which is a bentonite clay with quaternary ammonium salt reaction product
NeoInvert Bent is used in oil and gas industry to set up and control oil-based drilling muds rheology.
02
DRILLING CHEMICALS
Neodirect-Emul Stab
Neodirect-emul Stab is used in oil and gas industry as an additional emulsifier in the production of mineralized and unsaturated direct emulsion systems used for flushing oil and gas wells. Surfactants contained in the product are able to effectively destroy the micelles of the main emulsifier and increase its hydrophilicity. This leads to an increase in the concentration of adsorption-active molecules at the interface and additional stabilization of the emulsion
03
DRILLING CHEMICALS
NeoDirect-emul
Drilling fluids for some facilities in the East and West Siberia were elaborated on the basis of type 1 emulsion, with the use of the Neodirect-emul emulsifier.
04
HimRemover
- breaker system for destruction of organic filter cakes.
HimRemover is a multi-component system for complete destruction of filter cake after application of OBM, consisting of:
HimRemover OBM Component A - a mixture of demulsifying surfactants/buffer for increasing permeability and restoring formation productivity.
HimRemover OBM Component B - washing buffer/mutual solvent.
05
TerraHib
Depending on composition, clay shale hydration inhibitor TerraHib is presented in three brands:
TerraHib AM is a polyamines and polyethers based composition;
TerraHib SF is a water based organic-mineral composition;
TerraHib DNA is a glycol ethers and fatty acids ethanolamides composition.
06
Neoinvert FL Liquid
is designed to reduce oil based drilling muds HTHP filtration value. It generates thin, solid, low-permeable filter cake, as well as provides consolidation of borehole walls. NeoInvert FL Liquid can be used substantively or in conjunction with NeoInvert FL gilsonite based fluid loss redusing agent. NeoInvert FL Liquid used in conjunction with NeoInvert K2 provides necessary filtration control under high temperatures and pressure, even at low concentration values.
07
NeoInvert К2
is a tall oil fatty acids and alkylamines reaction product.
NeoInvert K2 is used in the oil industry as a secondary emulsifier for the preparation of stable invert emulsion solutions. The product is equally effective at different concentrations of the hydrocarbon phase in the drilling fluid.
08
DRILLING CHEMICALS
HimBreak
Our own product range of HimBreak destructors were elaborated for efficient removal of filter cake from the sides of boreholes.
09
DRILLING CHEMICALS
NEOINVERT
Formulas of the invert emulsion muds were elaborated on the basis of NEOINVERT product range for drilling under complex mining and geological conditions.
10
CEMENT CHEMICALS
Lightweight cement mix WellFix
Low water yield lightweight stabilized cement mixtures were elaborated on the basis of the WellFix reagent for well casing.
11
CEMENT CHEMICALS
Stabilized cement mix WellFix
Stabilized cement mixtures with standard density and low water yield were elaborated on the basis of WellFix reagent for liner casing, squeeze cementing jobs, prevention of cement channeling and gas flows.
12
CEMENT CHEMICALS
Expansive cement mix WellFix
Expansive low water yield cement mixtures were elaborated on the basis of WellFix reagent for qualitative reservoir segregation, prevention of crossflows behind casing, and gas flows.
