Sustainable innovation for the industry that drives the world

We research, develop, and commercialize chemical technologies to increase productivity and reduce the environmental impact of the industry.

Technologies for Oil & Gas

The challenge we face today

That is why at KATHCHEMICALS we are dedicated to researching and developing technologies that reduce water and energy consumption, process times, production costs, and increase well productivity.

We believe it is possible to continue mobilizing the world, reducing our environmental impact, and increasing our productivity.

We have focused on optimizing the slickwater process, one of the methods we have traditionally relied on, but which has significant environmental and productive drawbacks that need to be addressed promptly.

Motivated by this, we have developed the KATHFLOW PROP line of proppant suspension and transport agents.

More uniform and deeper distribution of proppant in fractured networks, improving well conductivity and productivity.

The line of viscoelastic biopolymers designed to stably suspend large amounts of proppant and transport it as a single phase effectively, thus optimizing the slickwater process.

Higher productivity

Significant savings in pumping time and costs of water, energy, and chemicals during the proppant injection process.

Lower process cost

With KATHFLOW PROP, it is possible to reduce water and energy consumption for proppant injection by more than 50%.

Lower environmental impact

To optimize conventional slickwater with KATHFLOW® PROP, no significant changes in the process are required; it is enough to include it in the preparation of the transport fluid, allowing up to 12 PPA of proppant to be injected in less time, without increasing the required pumping power and consuming much less water and energy.
