Shell Chemical LP and Shrieve Chemical Products announced today the formation of marketing agreements for synthetic olefin and synthetic paraffin drilling base fluids.

In the agreements, Shell Chemical LP will contract directly with multi-national oilfield service companies for olefin drilling base fluids under the NEOFLO brand name. 

Shrieve Chemical, which has been marketing Shell Chemical LP’s olefin fluids since 1995, will continue to provide full customer relationship management (CRM), logistical support and technical service in the Gulf of Mexico region. 

“Combining Shell Chemicals’* global presence and Shrieve Chemical’s experience in CRM and technical support will promote international market development of NEOFLO fluids,” said Sean Clarry, end-use manager, Shell Chemical LP.

Shrieve Chemical will also continue to globally market its BIO-BASE paraffin base fluids, which are designed to replace diesel in land-based oilfield and zero discharge operations. BIO-BASE fluids utilize paraffins manufactured and provided by Shell Chemical LP.
