Overview

Maximize production and revenue with Leucipa Chemicals Optimizer from Baker Hughes. Part of the Leucipa™ automated field production solution, the Chemicals Optimizer combines unmatched expertise in production, artificial lift, and chemicals to put you in control of chemical processes across the upstream lifecycle. The solution automatically fine tunes chemical injection rates to match actual production, maximizing cost efficiency, recovery, and financial returns from wells and/or fields production operations. Greater efficiency also means fewer field trips, reducing emissions as well as costs.

Go with the flow

In well and field production and artificial lift systems operations, chemical injection prevents equipment corrosion and undesirable fluid conditions like emulsions, scales, hydrates and other flow assurance factors. With multiphase flow meters rarely available, chemicals are typically injected at a fixed rate. But failing to coordinate injection with actual flow can quickly damage equipment and stop production.

The Baker Hughes Chemical Optimizer is the only solution in the oil and gas industry to automate dosing based on production. This maintains the optimal chemical concentrations you need to assure flow, extend equipment life, and keep unplanned downtime to a minimum.

A key innovation is the powerful Leucipa Virtual Flow Meter (VFM), which leverages physics-based models and AI algorithms to estimate flow with a degree of accuracy unparalleled in the industry. The VFM sends production updates to the chemical controller every minute, enabling automated, real-time adjustments to chemical dosing.

A plug-and-play solution that seamlessly integrates with equipment from any manufacturer, Chemical Optimizer also empowers you to manage your chemical inventory safely and efficiently, without costly infrastructure investments. Easily track the quantity, location, and usage of all chemicals on site, including hazardous materials. Take advantage of real-time monitoring and alerts to proactively predict and avoid equipment damage from corrosion, erosion, H2S, and other issues.
