Drilling and completion fluid companies buy viscosifiers and brines from SoleChem: Bentonite, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum and Carboxymethyl Cellulose for mud systems, and Calcium Bromide, Sodium Bromide and Zinc bromide for high-density completion brines. Propargyl Alcohol is supplied as a corrosion inhibitor intermediate for acidizing.

Gas processing and production chemical formulators source Methyldiethanolamine and Mono Ethanolamine for gas sweetening, Triethylene Glycol (TEG) for dehydration, the biocides Glutaraldehyde 50% and Tetrakis Hydroxymethyl Phosphonium Sulfate THPS, and the scale inhibitors HEDP, Phosphonobutane Tricarboxylic Acid (PBTC) and Polymaleic Acid. Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and Potassium Hydroxide are available in bulk for well treatment and refinery use.
