Introduction: What is CDS?
CDS, short for Colloidal Delivery System, is a groundbreaking, eco-friendly nanotechnology designed to optimise crude oil extraction and transportation. With its ability to boost operational efficiency, lower costs, and support environmental sustainability, CDS is redefining the way industries handle complex challenges. Here’s how this innovative solution can transform your operations.
The Power of CDS: Efficiency Meets Profitability
CDS has been meticulously engineered to enhance the flow of crude oil while improving the performance of chemicals used in oil and gas operations. This translates to higher production profits and reduced maintenance downtime by preventing corrosion and scale buildup.
With CDS, operators can:
Supercharge well stimulation.
Streamline pipeline transportation.
Optimise chemical treatments.
Accelerate production timelines.
The result? A value-packed supply chain with significant cost savings and improved compliance with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
Sustainability at its Core
CDS is as responsible as it is effective. Made from 100% organic, biodegradable raw materials, CDS is certified as Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Developed by one of our partners, Kemtek, this innovative solution reflects a commitment to environmentally friendly practices while driving industrial efficiency.
How CDS Works: The Science Behind the Solution
The power of CDS lies in its sophisticated nanotechnology. Here’s a breakdown of how it operates:
Broad Compatibility: Functions across the entire Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) spectrum, making it compatible with diverse substances.
Surface Interaction Mastery: Engages with rock formations and metal pipelines to enhance crude flow.
Surface Modification: Alters surface interactions to improve oil mobility.
Chemical Reaction Control: Tailors chemical reactions to optimize outcomes.
Reaction Precision: Stimulates or inhibits specific reactions as needed.
With minimal application (30-50 ppm per barrel), CDS operates effectively within a broad temperature range (-10°C to +185°C), ensuring seamless performance in challenging conditions.
Game-Changing Applications
1. Supercharging Crude Oil Flow
Reduces interfacial tension for enhanced oil displacement.
Alters rock surface properties to minimise oil adhesion.
Improves fluid penetration into reservoirs.
Prevents wax buildup in pipelines.
2. Elevating Chemical Treatment Performance
Expands the contact area between chemicals and reservoir rock.
Optimises reaction efficiency to reduce chemical doses.
Enables effective delivery of chemicals for better treatment results.
3. Combating Corrosion
CDS forms a protective barrier on metal surfaces, reducing corrosive reactions and improving the performance of corrosion inhibitors.
4. Preventing Scale Buildup
Disperses scale-forming minerals and wax crystals.
Suppresses crystal growth and modifies pipe surfaces for better flow.
