MULTI-CHEM CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING

OF SHAFTER LOCATION

SHAFTER, Calif. (April 1, 2010) - Multi-Chem^®, a global provider of oilfield production chemicals, celebrated the grand opening of its new West Coast location in Shafter, Ca. on Wednesday, announced Harold Johnson, Vice President of Global Business Development.

Multi-Chem hosted over 100 people at the grand opening event held at the new facility on Wednesday, which included lunch, tours of the laboratory and an address from Multi-Chem President and Chief Executive Officer, James Archer.

The facility consists of 3,000 sq ft of office space, a 1,600-sq-ft laboratory and a 4-acre storage yard. It will provide service, sales support, technical analysis and delivery of specialty production chemicals for the oil and gas industry throughout Kern, San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Kings, Ventura, Los Angeles, Fresno, Merced and Madera counties, the largest producing area in California. The Shafter office is the third Multi-Chem location on the West Coast. Other offices, laboratories, blend plants and warehouses are located in Ventura and Meridian.

The facility’s operations will be managed by Regional Operations Manager, Mark Wade, who has over 25 years of industry experience in production chemicals within California.

According to Wade, Multi-Chem strategically places offices within a 100-mile radius of its customers’ fields to provide focused local service.

“Superior local service is one of Multi-Chem’s fundamental objectives so that we can provide technical analysis and product support that is specific to the area and the technical challenges our customers are facing,” Wade said.

MX 91-8 for Hydrogen Sulfide Reduction at the Wellhead

Reduce Shut In Time from Elevated Hydrogen Sulfide Levels
M-8051 Treatment Reduces H2S levels from 11-15 ppm to <3 ppm

Eliminates Shut In of 45 mmcf/day Gas Production
MC 92-8 Reduces H2S Content in Gas Pipeline

For this operator, due to high H2S levels, the transmission company was going to shut in their valve at sales point.
Mixture of M-8280, M-2101, SS-5651 Eliminates Gunk

The "witches hat" was plugging with gunk, which caused it to overheat and shut down, thus no gas was able to get through the hat.
High H2S Levels Eliminated with MC B-8900

This well suddenly began producing high levels of H2S. Multi-Chem analyzed the production and found that the content of H2S in the flow line was 99 ppm.
MX 668-8 reduces H2S Treatment Costs $10,000/month

This producer was not happy with the volumes of H2S scavenger that were being used by the incumbent chemical company. Costs were getting to high to efficiently run this system.
MC MX 668-8 Reduces Operating Expenses

Operations were upset with the lack of interest the chemical provider took in the system. Additionally, by failing to optimize the chemical program, the unit was costing more than they felt was necessary.
MC MX 593-8 Reduces H2S in Sales Gas Line

The pipeline company told the operator to shut-in the production well due to high H2S on gas sales line. The pipeline specifications (<4 ppm) were being exceeded by the gas which contained 8 ppm H2S.
MC M-8009 CO2 Scavenger Reduces CO2 Content of Gas to <2.0%

3 of 4 producing wells were at 2.1% or higher for a combined 2.2% CO2 at the departing pipeline, which was over the 2.0% spec.
Multi-Chem H2S Scavenger Effectiveness Increased with Tower

Multi-Chem Manager Designs Tower to Help Operator Cut Costs $240/day
H2S Controlled with M-8120 and B-8900

Iron Sulfide Levels and Odor Eliminated
Multi-Chem MX 91-8 H2S Scavenger

Effectively Reduces H2S and Provides $40,000 / Year Chemical Savings
MC M-8041 Improves H2S Scavenging

System Efficiency Increases; 34% Increase in Sulfur Removal
MC MX 521-7 Combination Product Reduces Chemical Costs

MC MX 23-8 Scavenger Eliminates H2S
MC MX 888-8 Reduces Chemical Usage

Chemical Plugging Issues Resolved
MC S-2033 Maintains Low PSI and Reduces Oil Carrier Solvent

Continuous Treatment Provides Economic Solution
Use of Partially Spent MC MX 677-8 Reduces Tower Changes 30%

Scavenger Chemistry Utilized to Create Maximum Value
MC MX 668-8 Reduces Cost to Scavenge H2S

Operator Saves $120,000 / Year
MC MX 91-8 Provides Consistent H2S Treatment

Pipeline Specs Met As Operator Saves $36,000/Year
Microbial Activity Halted with MC B-8650 & MECT1 Treatment

H2S Levels Reduced Below 4 ppm to Meet Sales Specs
MC M-8041 and Process Improvement Reduce Costs

$115,000 Annual Savings Achieved
MC SS-5005 Eliminates FeS Solids

Treatment Program Reduces TCO by 50%
AcroClear Mitigates SWD Filter Issues

Black FeS dissolved and savings of $58,100 / year Anticipated

Root Cause

Hydrogen sulfide is a naturally occurring that may be present in formations and carried in hydrocarbon streams. Hydrogen sulfide can also be the result of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) in process systems.
