Exploration and production
The exploration and production of crudes requires precise and reliable analyzers to reduce downtime caused by corrosion
Corrosion is a big challenge in the exploration and production of crude oil. Reliable analysis of corrosion-inducing conditions from salts and minerals, water, sulfur, or acidity help assess the risk.
Metrohm provides top-quality analytical instruments, know-how, and first-class, on-site service to enable and support exploration and production.
Metrohm collaborates with industry associations such as API and the CCQTA, contributing with our application know-how to solve industry challenges.

- AN-K-074Water content in crude oil determined with Karl Fischer titration
To determine water in crude oil, ASTM D4928 recommends coulometric Karl Fischer titration with the oven method, allowing full automation for high reproducibility.
- WP-082Measuring inorganic cations and amines with ion chromatography mass spectrometry (IC-MS)
This white paper presents IC-MS as powerful analysis technique. This multiparameter method determines various analytes such as inorganic cations and amines in one run.
- AN-CIC-029Organic halides in crude oil
Crude oil typically contains no organic halides. These are introduced at production sites, in pipelines, or in storage tanks. These components produce HF, HCl, and other acids in reforming and hydro-treating processes, leading to corrosion and catalyst poisoning. Speciation of the halides is an important parameter to measure in order to trace the contamination source. The current specifications expect to find less than 2 mg/kg organic chlorine in crude oil. Sulfur in crude oil could be quantified on the fly. Due to the specific request in this application, only the halogens are determined.
