Sparx recently participated in a Houston area workshop on oil and gas chemistry. Oilfield chemistry can be largely divided into chemical analysis, viscosity control, and fluid management. Each of these areas depends heavily upon the use of organic polymers with mineral additives. While drilling and completion operations may be viewed as unique projects, these operationsRead more

One way a chemist works could be thought of as engineering the relationship between structure and function at the level of molecules and formulations to achieve desired physical properties. How is that accomplished? In short, chemical synthesis provides the tools to change the properties of molecules with chemical reactions that add to or take awayRead more
