This book is an extension and update of Oil Field Chemicals published in 2003, and it presents a compilation of materials from literature and patents, arranged according to applications and the way a typical job is practiced. The text is composed of 23 chapters that cover oil field chemicals arranged according to their use. Each chapter follows a uniform template, starting with a brief overview of the chemical followed by reviews, monomers, polymerization, and fabrication. The different aspects of application, including safety and environmental impacts, for each chemical are also discussed throughout the chapters. The text also includes handy indices for trade names, acronyms and chemicals. Petroleum, production, drilling, completion, and operations engineers and managers will find this book invaluable for project management and production. Non-experts and students in petroleum engineering will also find this reference useful. Chemicals are ordered by use including drilling muds, corrosion inhibitors, and bacteria control Includes cutting edge chemicals and polymers such as water soluble polymers and viscosity control Handy index of chemical substances as well as a general chemical index Review: Excellent resource for state and local environmental regulators as well - There's a boom on Jed, and I'm not talking about the construction of cement ponds. State and local regulators dealing with proposals for hydraulic fracturing and the fluids used by the hydrocarbon industry in the process of 'fracking' an oil well would be wise to have this guide in the office. That, plus chapters on wastewater/spentwater and spill prevention will get you up to speed, as many jurisdictions across the country are learning the hard way, or learning nothing at all. Review: Interesting - Not sure why I bought this book. A collection of facts and specs rather than a practical aid. Maybe nice to have as a reference for operations PEs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,384,607 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #367 in Geologic Drilling Procedures #609 in Geochemistry #850 in Natural Resource Extraction Industry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 6 Reviews | ## Images ![Petroleum Engineer's Guide to Oil Field Chemicals and Fluids - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714Xf7ZsViL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource for state and local environmental regulators as well *by J***K on January 13, 2013* There's a boom on Jed, and I'm not talking about the construction of cement ponds.

Maybe nice to have as a reference for operations PEs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by C***E on May 24, 2015* Good overview for anyone in the business. I wish it was more chemistry heavy but it is an engineering reference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8301382-petroleum-engineers-guide-to-oil-field-chemicals-and-fluids](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8301382-petroleum-engineers-guide-to-oil-field-chemicals-and-fluids) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
