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.

Root Cause

The cause of iron sulfide formation is related to the presence of hydrogen sulfide and soluble iron in the same water stream.  The amount of iron sulfide formation will vary based on many factors such as iron concentration, sulfide concentration, pH, temperature, pressure, etc.  The severity of problems associated with iron sulfide will likewise vary considerably depending on system conditions.  For example, low linear velocity in a pipeline may result in greater deposition of iron sulfide on the pipe walls resulting in increased under deposit corrosion rates.  The ultimate source of the reactants (hydrogen sulfide and iron) may come from biological activity resulting in increased sulfide concentrations or from general corrosion that will result in increased iron concentrations.
