INTRODUCTION

“Materials and chemicals in oil and gas production” is a
discipline that studies the physical and chemical properties and
parameters of reservoir fluids, gases and condensate mixtures and
reagents used in drilling and operation of wells to enhance oil
recovery and hydrocarbon and industrial treatment in the
application of methods to increase oil and gas production, and their
filtering in the rocks, reservoirs, wells and pipelines. Knowledge
of this discipline is necessary for petroleum engineer specialist
(researcher) while studying such disciplines as “Technology and
equipment of oil and gas fields”, “Technology of oil, gas and gas
condensate fields development”, “Technology and engineering
techniques to enhance oil and gas production”, “Gathering and
treatment of oil and gas on fields”. The development and
exploitation of oil, gas and gas condensate fields are closely
related to laws of hydrocarbon, water, various reagent solutions
filtering in rocks the productive formations are composed of.
Therefore knowledge of the properties of rocks and reservoir fluids
and reagents used in the development and operation of productive
formations, patterns of interaction between them defines rational
technology of development of oil and gas accumulations as well
as economic indices from the depths of their removal and
subsequent transportation to customers. In studying this discipline
are used in complex important provisions on geology, physics,
chemistry, physical chemistry of oil and gas reservoir,
underground hydromechanics, oil and gas mechanics and
thermodynamics of rocks, drilling technology and operation of
wells and production.
Purpose of the discipline. Purpose of the discipline is to
provide the knowledge by students of reagents used in drilling and
exploitation of wells, the intensification of industrial production
and preparation of hydrocarbons and application of methods to
