Companies that have the capability of removing/filtering out the OC's , they buy them at very very steep discounts from producers, lease operators, exporters, marketers etc and then resell them at a profit at market prices. Or refineries that have the processing capability to remove the OC's buy them at steep discounts. I have bought cargoes of OC contaminated crude only after they were "cleaned up" , arranged the process between the producer and the "clean up" company and sold the cargoes.

eagle + 1 PG November 26, 2019 Thanks for the reply Our firm is working on a process for removing OC's. We are trying to source some product in order to test our process at a commercial scale. Logistically North America would be best but not a deal breaker. TTYL 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerry Maddoux + 3,627 GM November 26, 2019 Please educate the people on this board about organic chlorides. For years I've heard about these contaminants and figured they were from the inhibitors used to reverse acidization (right word?) of stimulators to enhance production. But lately it seems that we're hearing about this not only in crude oil shipped from Russia but the Gulf Coast too. What is causing this increase? Thanks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eagle + 1 PG November 27, 2019 Yes, we are working on a process and would like some different types from different areas to test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you looking for funding and or licensing for the tech? Let me know if you are interested in that. If you are looking for larger volumes of contaminated crude , I could probably find some ranging from 800bbls-5,000bbls coming out of Appalachia and IL Basin and probably some out of West TX.

eagle + 1 PG November 30, 2019 (edited) No on the funding and or licensing but yes on the larger volumes of contaminated crude. Please let me know on price and location. Thanks Any luck????

Tomasz + 1,608 December 1, 2019 (edited) All I know this year state-owned company responsible for pipelines called Transnieft secured 24 billions of roubles for compensations because of contamination. Its just about  400 milions of dollars and you can read in russian newspapers like 1prime.ru or finmarket.ru that contaminated oil is sold with 10-15 $ discount so the whole crisis is resolved with substantially less amount of money that it was firstly predicted.

Enthalpic + 1,496 December 1, 2019 DCM and PERC are valuable chemicals, if you could separate them from the oil they could help with cost recovery / add profit. https://www.astm.org/Standards/D4929.htm  1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
