Three of the main problems that

currently exist in naturally fractured

carbonate reservoirs (NFCR) with high

temperature and salinity are, maintain

wells productivity, reduce operating

costs and increase the oil recovery

factor.

To solve such challenges it is necessary

to control the gas and/or water

channelization, alter the wettability of

the rock, reduce the interfacial tension

of the system brine-oil and avoid

damage to the formation due to the

presence of organic and inorganic

scales.

The foaming multifunctional agents of

IMP technology are the firsts of their kind,

they are patented worldwide and have the

capability to:

Generating stable foams under oil

reservoir conditions, this in order to

control undesirable fluids channelization.

Reduce the interfacial tension of the

brine-oil system and alter the wettability of

the rock, aiming to extract the

hydrocarbon retained in areas of low

conductivity.

Controlling the formation of mineral and

organic scales, with the purpose of avoid

damage to the formation.

Not create stable emulsions, this in order

to avoid damage to the formation and the

plugging problem in the production string.

Testing through processes Huff

and Puff in Pemex wells that had

had low oil and high gas

production, allowed to prove that

the multifunctional foaming agents

control the gas mobility and

increase oil production in the range

of 30 to 100%.

The new chemical process of

additional oil recovery has showed

that it has the ability to control the

formation damage problem that is

caused by organic and inorganic

scales and is marketed through the

brand new "IMP-WET - FOAM®" .

Laboratory tests performed with the

multifunctional foaming agents

have showed they can be used in

enhanced oil recovery processes

surfactant-polymer (SP) and

surfactant alternated with gas

(SAG).

Description Problem

Mineral scales generation on either

the formation face or the production

rig due to water incompatibilities or to

the intrinsic nature of formation waters

containing high salinities and

hardnesses.

Reduction in the oil production and

increase of operation costs due to the

partial plugging of both the formation

face and the production rig.

Production rig corrosion.

Application

The IMP has a family of patented chemicals

which, under high temperature and ultrahigh

salinity, inhibit the growth and disperse

mineral scales generated by the

incompatibility among the injection water

(seawater) and the connate water in

secondary recovery processes.

The chemicals are commercialized under

the trademark series IMP-ESIM. They

tolerate temperatures up to 180 °C, salinities

as NaCl up to 400,000 ppm and total

hardnesses as CaCO3 up to 150,000 ppm.

The chemicals series IMP-ESIM is

compatible with both polymers and

multifunctional foaming agents, so it can be

used in formulations for enhanced-oil-

recovery-processes and production-

assurance applications.

Due to its versatility and high performance,

the chemicals series IMP-ESIM can be used

to control problems from scales in the

production rig and hydrocarbons-carrying

pipelines.

Description Problem

The producing gas wells, located in

mature fields, present contributions of

accumulations of liquids (brine and

condensate), resulting in a gradual

and progressive reduction of the

production of gas, due to partial

plugging that generates the loading of

liquids within the gas wells.

The presence of emulsions and

mineral scales increases the

challenge of expelling liquids in gas

wells, being able to reach to such

levels that lead to that the well has an

even behavior and stop the

production.

Application

The IMP has a patented family of foaming

multifunctional agents with the ability to

expel liquids in gas wells presenting high

water cuts and condensates production of

up to 20%.

The products are marketed under the brand

name IMP-AMES series and are

characterized by not generating emulsions,

tolerate brine with high salinity and

hardness, as well as by inhibit or disperse

mineral scales.

The synthesis process through which are

obtained the chemicals IMP-AMES series,

as well as their biodegradability quickly and

virtually no toxicity showed against

microorganisms such as Daphnia magna

and Artemia franciscana allows to establish

that they comply with the context of green

chemistry.

Multifunctional foaming agents for gas wells having liquid-loading problems

Technological tests carried out in

gas wells that have problems with

liquid-loading and which are

located in fields belonging to

PEMEX made it possible to

demonstrate that low dosages the

multifunctional foaming agents

have an excellent performance in

the expulsion of liquids and

increase the production of gas to

values according to the

expectations of the oil operator.

4 Non-destructive pipeline-integrity, using surface electromagnetic inspection (TIEMS®)

Response for problems in the

pipeline transportation system:

Shared rights of way, with groups

of near and interconnected

pipelines with different paths, it

was impossible to inspect

pipelines with any other

technology

Pipeline leaks, with significant

annual economic impacts

Substitution of unsuitable

technologies for the conditions of

most pipelines, such as: Direct

Current Voltage Gradient,

Alternating Current, Voltage

Gradient, and Pipeline Current

Mapper

Technical limitations for

inspecting pipelines over 4 m of

depth

The EMPI (Electromagnetic

Pipeline Inspection) is a non-

destructive, surface technology

to assess quantitatively the

physical sate of the pipeline

coating. It does not require

diggings or interruption of the

operation in the pipeline and its

cathode protection system (CPS)

EMPI technology allows to:

• Identify and classify zones based on

the extent of the damage of the

pipeline coating

•Determine the geometric trajectory of

a single pipeline or group of pipelines

in plane view and at depth

•Estimate the performance of the

CPS

•Detect connections between

pipelines in operation with out-of-

service pipelines and other metallic

structures.

•Assess the subsoil corrosivity

The EMPI has been applied in

five areas in pipelines in the

South Region of Mexico

Improved planning maintenance

programs

Allows optimization of human,

material and financial resources

Allows:

•Accurate inspections in shared right

ways (nearby and interconnected

pipelines), river crossings, urban

areas and identification of the source

of anomalies

•Evaluation of pipelines up to 20 m

deep

•Quantitative and deterministic

evaluation with standardized and

formalized criteria.

Impact Field application: inspection of pipeline affected by microbial corrosion

Detailed inspectionRegional inspection

Microbial corrosion:

a) Because the coating is

not suitable for the current

pipeline temperature and

soil conditions.

b) Because the coating

shows permanent

damage from the

beginning.

c) Loss of external metal up

to 0.110 inches of depth.

With the EMPI is

possible to identify

the type of coating

In this pipeline, two

types of insulations

were identified, from

0+000 Km to 0+600

Km and from 1+600

Km to 560 Km

With the detailed

inspection, the exact

Substitute film inhibitors products

to control corrosion problems

with no good results

The inhibitors used in pipelines

do not control uniform and

located corrosion problems

simultaneously, furthermore the

results are not constant

The increase in the production of

heavy crude oil and the greater

amount of pollutants increases

these aggressive corrosion

problems

Family of chemical compounds

(basics) with inhibition corrosion

properties named IMP-ALICIM

Allows to control and maintain

within specification, the speed of

corrosion in pipelines

Controls efficiently uniform and

located corrosion problems in

pipelines operating conditions

Do not generate emulsions and

are technically and economically

viable

A corrosion rate of 0.1

thousandths of an inch per year

(MPA) was obtained at points

evaluated with the IMP-ALICIM-

001 in field tests in 30” and 48”

pipelines. This compares

excellently with the value of 2.0

mpa of corrosion control

The corrosion rates prior to the

application of IMP corrosion

inhibitor ranged between 3.0 and

14 mpa out of maximum

specification (2.0 mpa)

The improvement in the

corrosion control increases the

To improve the oil recovery factor in

low-permeability siliciclastic

reservoirs. To address this

challenge, a technology to enhance

the oil recovery factor by microbial

processes has been developed at

both laboratory and reservoir

scales. This technology has been

evaluated and proved its potential

application

To design a low-cost microbial

process to increase the oil recovery

factor

• Technological solution to

increase the oil recovery factor

• Biotechnological methodology

that improves hydrocarbon

recovery in low-permeability

porous media

• Promotes substantial changes in

the reservoir properties including:

oil viscosity, rock wettability, and

pressure. This is achieved by

microbial processes that produce

biomass and bioproducts

resulting in an improvement in

the oil flow from the reservoirs

Formulation and optimization of

cultivated media for growth and

production of fermenting microbes

to produce useful metabolites for

the recovery of hydrocarbons

At laboratory scale, an increase of

6.5 to 29.8% of hydrocarbon

recovery by microbial processes in

carbonate rocks and sandstones

has been reached utilizing different

crude oils

A recent field test was conducted in

a Tertiary siliciclastic reservoir

utilizing a Huff and Puff evaluation

process. An increase of total

production of 40-52% and an

increase of oil production of 22-

44% were obtained

11 HIDRO-IMP®: Process for upgrading of heavy crude oil and residues

Description Problem Application

• Catalytic hydrocracking at

moderate reaction conditions

• Reactors with selective

catalysts for:

Hydrodesmetallization

(HDM)

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS)

Hydrocracking (HDC)

• Moderate conversion of residue

to distillates (40%) and

increase of upgraded oil yield

(104-105 vol%)

• Low sediments formation

• High impurities removal (sulfur,

asphaltene, nitrogen, metals)

• Production of upgraded oil with

low acidity, corrosivity, viscosity,

and tendency to coke formation

• Low investment and operating

costs

Heavy oil with high metal content

treatment and handling

Produces upgraded oil with similar

properties and distillates yields than

light crude oils. Example, upgrades

heavy oil from 10 to 23 ° API and

reduces total sulphur from 5.7 to 1.1%

Demonstrated at semi-industrial level:

• Tested with heavy crude oil of 10,

13 and 16° API

• The upgraded oil showed important

increases in API gravity and

reduction in impurities content

• Sediment formation was kept at low

values, ensuring the stable and

secure operation of the process

Application in a refining scheme and

its comparison with delayed coking

The HIDRO-IMP® technology:

• Increases the quality and yield of

fractions (mainly gas oil and middle

distillates)

• Higher of production of gasoline, jet

fuel, and diesel

• Lower production and better quality

coke
