Upstream

We deliver comprehensive upstream solutions designed to enhance asset integrity, ensure flow assurance, and drive production optimization. Our experienced team supports operators with innovative, field-proven technologies and services that maximize performance and minimize downtime across all phases of upstream operations.

Imperative sets a new standard in chemical solutions with a sharp focus on effective chemistries, reliable service, and proven program management for E&P Operators. Producing, managing, and transporting oil, natural gas, and water presents numerous asset integrity and flow assurance challenges for operators that are addressed through application of the appropriate chemical solutions.

We develop custom-designed chemistries and offer expert application knowledge tailored to the unique challenges faced by oil producers. Our solutions are engineered to address the demands of various lift types, formation characteristics, and both conventional and unconventional assets. Complemented by a suite of integrated services, we help operators extend asset life, enhance production efficiency, and achieve long-term performance.

Asset Integrity

We collaborate with our clients to create a proactive approach to corrosion control and the prevention of pipeline failures.

  • Corrosion Inhibitors – Protect internal pipeline surfaces and processing equipment against corrosion, helping to reduce costly downtime and maintenance.
  • Bacteria Control – Combat microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) through advanced biocide programs that target and control bacterial growth in fluid systems.
  • H2S Scavengers – Effectively remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from production and gathering systems, improving safety and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Flow Assurance

We deliver comprehensive services that maintain and improve your pipeline flow, as well as eliminate expensive repairs and downtime.

  • Paraffin and Asphaltene Control – Prevent buildup and blockages caused by waxy or heavy hydrocarbon deposits to keep product moving freely.
  • Scale Inhibitors – Protect pipelines and equipment from mineral scale formation, preserving flow efficiency and extending system life.
  • Antifoulants – Reduce fouling caused by organic or inorganic material, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing the need for mechanical cleaning.

Phase Separation and Production Enhancement

Maximize output and efficiency at the wellhead with advanced phase separation and production enhancement solutions. Our approach ensures precise separation of oil, gas, and water while minimizing emulsion and formation damage. Through optimized surface equipment, chemical treatment, and lift strategies, we reduce downtime, cut operating costs, and boost recovery, safely and predictably.
