SI Group launches 2 product lines; Orangeburg plant part of process

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — SI Group, a leading global developer and manufacturer of chemical intermediates, specialty resins, and solutions, has unveiled two new product lines of oil production chemistry.

“SI Group has been serving the oil production industry for over two decades,” said Stephen Haller, senior vice president, strategy and new business development at SI Group. “The launch of REZIFLOW and CERIFLOW, product lines for demulsification and flow improvement, demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the oilfield market. These products leverage our deep expertise in both chemistry and manufacturing to develop and deliver high-performing, novel chemistries that ultimately improve the cost and efficiency of oil production.”

The SI Group has invested about $3.5 million in equipment at its Orangeburg plant that will be used to manufacture components for the new product lines, according to company spokeswoman Tara Morgan.

“What’s interesting about this is that despite the recent slump in oil prices, production chemicals growth for this industry is expected to outpace the market,” Morgan said via email. “Some studies cite that the market for oilfield chemicals is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6 percent in the next five years. This is largely due to oil companies seeking more efficient and cleaner methods for oil production.”

The products were unveiled at the Society of Petroleum Engineers 2016 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

REZIFLOW products are a range of resins used in the separation of oil and water. The products provide enhanced water clarification and significantly faster separation time.

CERIFLOW products are polymeric compounds that inhibit buildup that can deposit on surfaces, allowing for unrestricted flow during crude oil production.

To further support this growing market, the company has established an Oilfield Center of Competence, which comprises a team of technical experts focused on research and development innovations — innovations which increase the efficiency of oil production through increased throughput, enhanced water quality, and reduced downtime.
