Long-Term Scale Control, Proven Performance — Elm Coulee Field Success

In the Elm Coulee Field near Sidney, MT, a producer faced rising chemical costs and inefficient scale control on low-water production wells. Astro-Chem Lab partnered to implement a targeted scale squeeze program — delivering long-term protection and substantial cost savings.

📍 Program Overview (Aug 2022 – Jun 2025):

19 scale squeezes completed

Treatment volumes:
• 2 jobs @ 330 gallons
• 12 jobs @ 55 gallons
• 5 jobs @ 25 gallons

Residuals collected monthly to confirm inhibitor return

🎯 Results That Matter:

100% of treatments exceeded the 1-year protection target

Several wells maintained protection for up to 2 years without re-treatment

Zero scale-related failures on 14 wells

60% reduction in chemical usage on wells producing

⚙️ Rapid Innovation for Gas-Lift Production — The Corpro-8675 Success Story

When an operator in the Williston Basin needed a corrosion and scale inhibitor that could perform neat in gas-lift applications, Astro-Chem Lab was ready to deliver — fast.

Within just 21 days, our team developed and commercialized Corpro-8675, a new formulation adapted from our proven Corpro-86 technology to handle gas-lift dynamics with zero compromise on performance.

📊 Program Highlights:

92 wells treated with immediate compatibility

Zero chemical-related failures since initial deployment (Dec 2022)

Zero compatibility issues

21-day turnaround from lab bench to field trial

💡 Why It Matters:
Operators in gas-lift systems face unique challenges maintaining corrosion and scale control under fluctuating pressures and temperatures. By leveraging our in-house R&D and QA capabilities, Astro-Chem delivered a fit-for-purpose solution that achieved:

Reliable coverage across all gas-lift wells

Reduced workover risk

Sustained production integrity

At Astro-Chem Lab, we take pride in transforming field challenges into proven chemical solutions — quickly, efficiently, and safely.

Delivering Efficiency and Sustainability in Bakken Production Operations

Salt deposition and scaling are persistent challenges in the Bakken, driving up freshwater demand, operating costs, and logistical complexity.

Astro-Chem Lab took on this challenge with our Production Salt Inhibitor, designed to minimize salt crystallization and deposition — helping operators maintain system integrity while significantly reducing water usage.

📈 Program Overview:

78 wells treated across the Bakken

40 bbl/day average freshwater reduction per well

~60% less freshwater than baseline operations

💡 Results That Matter:

Reduced water hauling and disposal costs

Improved operational efficiency by cutting freshwater demand in half

Sustainability benefits through lower freshwater consumption

Cost savings from reduced freshwater use covered all chemical expenses in the trial area

At Astro-Chem Lab, we’re committed to delivering chemistry that works smarter — not harder. This project highlights how data-driven treatment programs can optimize production performance while supporting responsible resource management.
