A History of Success

Based in Houston, Texas, Nissan Chemical America Corporation is a division of Nissan Chemical Corporation founded in Japan in 1887. A forerunner in chemical innovations for more than 130 years, Nissan Chemical has been perfecting nanoparticle technology since 1951, making it one of the first companies in the world to produce highly surface-modified colloidal particles for industrial applications.

Can nanoActiv® be used with acid?

Acid can impact the particles’ coating. Hence, it has to be spent before nanoActiv® is pumped. We generally pump water spacers before and after pumping nanoActiv® to make sure nanoActiv® does not come in contact with acid.

Will nanoActiv® work with gas?

We have seen many instances with increased oil and gas production. Intuitively, this would also make sense, as lighter density fluids should be easier to recover. We have recently pumped in gas-only wells and are waiting for more data.

Can nanoActiv® withstand high salinity?

  • Up to 100k mg/l: there is no issue at all.
  • Between 100k and 200k mg/l: can work but needs lab testing to confirm specific cases.
  • Above 200k mg/l: not likely to work, will still run compatibility testing to confirm.
