Creedence Energy Services

What Creedence Energy Services does

Creedence Energy Services, LLC is a privately held, North Dakota-incorporated production and midstream chemical company founded in 2014 by CEO Kevin Black. The company develops, manufactures, and applies specialty oilfield chemistries and provides complementary field services to oil and gas operators and midstream pipeline operators across all major U.S. producing basins, including the Williston Basin (ND), Powder River Basin (WY), Permian Basin (TX), East Texas, MidCon/Oklahoma, and the San Juan Basin (NM). The company's product and service portfolio spans four integrated lines: (1) Production Chemicals covering asset integrity (corrosion inhibitors including the 90 and 194 Series, H2S scavengers such as the proprietary C-1031, microbial control), flow assurance (scale inhibitors, paraffin and asphaltene control), and production optimization (surfactants, biosurfactant derivatives, demulsifiers, friction reducers); (2) Midstream Chemicals for pipeline integrity management, including scale, paraffin, corrosion, hydrate, and microbial control, plus customized drag reducing agents (DRA); (3) Technical & Analytical Services operated from state-of-the-art labs in Williston, ND and Odessa, TX equipped with Perkin Elmer ICP-OES, Mettler Toledo auto-titrators, and Hach spectrophotometers, delivering less than 5-day turnaround on water, residual, and deposit analysis; and (4) Acidizing & Stimulation Services using a pioneering closed-loop high-pressure pump truck fleet with Gardner Denver triplex pumps (3,500 psi max) and six onboard chemical bunk cells enabling multi-additive treatments without breaking connections.

The company's technology platform combines proprietary chemical formulations, including the recently launched C-SI 620 Halite Inhibitor (demonstrated 50-70% reduction in produced-water injection volumes) and C-1031 H2S scavenger, with capital-intensive field equipment and in-house analytical capability under a "Total Systems Approach." Its go-to-market is a direct, enterprise field sales model, with field account managers and technical specialists collaborating with operators to design customized chemical programs; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated through recurring supply contracts on the production and midstream chemical lines and through service contracts on acidizing, stimulation, and laboratory engagements. Customer segments are organized vertically: oil and gas E&P operators (primary) and midstream pipeline operators (secondary). Distribution relies on 18+ strategically located terminals and operations facilities across five states, supplemented by industry events, a corporate website with technical content and SDS request functionality, and LinkedIn and Facebook channels. The company is family-controlled, with the Black family and the Turner family (via the 2021 ProChem Energy Services combination) as the principal ownership stakeholders; no institutional or PE/VC capital is indicated. As of 2023, Creedence operates 251-500 employees and continues to expand its national footprint, most recently into the Eagle Ford region.

Direct peers

• ChampionX (SLB Production Chemistry): ChampionX was the leading independent oilfield production chemistry specialist before being acquired by SLB in 2024; it is the closest scaled direct competitor to Creedence, offering corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, H2S scavengers, and field services across US shale basins.
• Innospec Oilfield Services: Innospec's Oilfield Services segment supplies production chemicals, specialty fuels, and performance chemicals to upstream and midstream operators globally, overlapping directly with Creedence's production and midstream chemical product lines.
• Clariant Oil Services: Clariant's Oil Services business (now part of its broader Industrial Chemicals portfolio) provides demulsifiers, scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, and H2S scavengers for upstream and midstream applications, serving many of the same operators as Creedence.
• Stepan Company (Oilfield Solutions): Stepan's Oilfield Solutions segment supplies specialty surfactants, demulsifiers, and production chemistries used in upstream and midstream applications — directly comparable to Creedence's surfactants, demulsifiers, and biosurfactant product lines.

Broad incumbents

• Halliburton Multi-Chem: Halliburton's Multi-Chem division is a global production chemicals business offering a similar portfolio (corrosion, scale, paraffin, H2S, biocides) bundled with Halliburton's broader well construction and completion services — competing directly for the same operator wallet.

Emerging players

• TETRA Technologies: TETRA provides completion fluids, water management, and certain production chemistries to US shale operators, with overlap in calcium chloride fluids and produced-water handling that intersects with Creedence's acidizing and SWD stimulation services.
• Solaris Water Midstream: Solaris operates produced-water handling and recycling facilities in the Permian Basin, sharing Creedence's focus on SWD injection chemistry, microbial control, and biosurfactant-driven injection optimization, though as a midstream water operator rather than chemical supplier.
