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

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

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
