Summary on Grant Application Form
With the increasing industry emphasis on reduction of production costs for existing fields and cost-effective development of marginal and remote/hostile fields, there is a requirement to reduce the numbers of chemical shipped/stored; simplify the complexity of dosage regimes; eliminate adverse interactions and minimise the number of umbilicals used for delivery. This research aims to produce a single multifunctional additive which can be tailored to suit different circumstances. Synthetic chemical approaches will aim to produce a single chemical entity incorporating several functions or a chemical combination of functional chemicals which will be unitary on delivery, but will be enzymically split to more conventional entities in contact with water.
