What Petrochem does

Petrochem USA, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of oilwell cementing additives founded in 1986 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company specializes in the formulation, production, and supply of powder and liquid chemical additives designed to support primary and remedial cementing operations in oil and gas wells. Its products are engineered to maintain compatibility with API cement systems and to perform across low, medium, and high-temperature applications up to 450°F, addressing the core technical requirements of slurry rheology control, fluid loss management, thickening time, and zonal isolation in well construction.

The product portfolio is organized into eight additive categories: antifoam additives (P-AFL, P-AFP), anti-settling additives (P-ASA2, P-ASA2L, P-ASA3, P-ASA3L), chemical washes and spacers (P-CWL1, P-CWL2, P-SP200, P-SP300), cement dispersants (P-D88, P-D88L), fluid loss control additives (P-F350, P-F350L, P-F450, P-F450L), gas migration control additives (P-500, P-1000), cement retarders (R-Series and SR-Series, covering temperatures from below 200°F to 400°F HTHP), and specialty performance additives including squeeze and plug (P-CTSP, P-SPG), enhanced strength (P-ESA), free flow (P-FFA), and expanding cement (P-XCA2, P-XCA4) products. Each category contains multiple SKUs in powder and liquid forms targeting specific temperature ranges and well conditions.

Petrochem operates a direct sales model, engaging oilfield service companies and oil and gas operators worldwide through its website (petrochem.us), email ([email protected]), LinkedIn presence, and WhatsApp support. Pricing, technical support, and SDS documentation are provided only on direct request rather than publicly disclosed. The company also offers private label and OEM manufacturing capabilities, indicating willingness to supply formulated additives under third-party brands. Leadership is family-led, with Peter Cornilliac serving as CEO and Allan Cornilliac as President; the organization operates with 1-10 employees and no disclosed outside investors, board, or institutional backing.

Products and services

• Antifoam Additives (P-AFP Powder, P-AFL Liquid) Powder and liquid antifoam additives for cementing systems that control foam generation to maintain slurry density, improve mixing efficiency, and ensure consistent cement placement; P-AFP usable up to 400°F.
• Anti-Settling Additives (P-ASA2, P-ASA2L, P-ASA3, P-ASA3L) Powder and liquid suspending additives for cementing and spacer systems that enhance low shear rate viscosity, improve solids suspension, reduce free water and sedimentation, and maintain uniform slurry density in low to moderate temperature applications up to 300°F.
• Chemical Washes & Spacers (P-CWL1, P-CWL2, P-SP200, P-SP300) Biodegradable nonionic surfactant-based chemical washes and spacer base powders for pre-cementing wellbore conditioning; remove water-based and oil-based drilling fluids, provide fluid separation, solids suspension, and density control up to 300°F.
• Cement Dispersants (P-D88 Powder, P-D88L Liquid) High temperature dispersants, anti-gelling agents and friction reducers that improve cement particle dispersion, reduce slurry viscosity, optimize rheology, and enhance pumpability up to 400°F.
• Fluid Loss Control Additives (P-F350, P-F350L, P-F450, P-F450L) Powder and liquid fluid loss control additives that minimize filtrate invasion into permeable formations to maintain slurry performance and support effective zonal isolation in low, medium, and high temperature applications up to 450°F.
• Gas Migration Control Additives (P-500, P-1000) Liquid additives that reduce gas migration during slurry placement and transition to set by supporting hydrostatic pressure, limiting gas channeling, enhancing shear bond strength, and improving annular seal integrity.
• Cement Retarders (P-R200, P-R300, P-R350, P-R400, P-SR250L, P-SR300, P-SR300L, P-SR400L) Conventional R-Series and synthetic SR-Series powder and liquid cement retarders that delay cement hydration, extend thickening time, and maintain slurry pumpability under elevated temperature and HTHP conditions up to 400°F.
• Specialty & Performance Additives (P-CTSP, P-ESA, P-FFA, P-SPG, P-XCA2, P-XCA4) Customized additive technologies including squeeze and plug additives for coiled tubing (P-CTSP), enhanced strength fiber additive (P-ESA), free flow additive (P-FFA), multifunctional squeeze/PTA/gas control additive (P-SPG), and low and high temperature expanding cement additives (P-XCA2, P-XCA4) for challenging well environments.
