What Petroraza does

Petroraza, legally Petroingeniería Regional Antioquia S.A.S., is a Colombian specialty-chemicals and engineering services company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Sabaneta, Antioquia. The company develops and manufactures nanotechnology-based chemical products and provides engineering services for the upstream oil and gas sector, with a focus on well stimulation, enhanced oil recovery, and flow-assurance challenges such as asphaltene and paraffin control. Its technology is built around proprietary nanofluids and chemical additives, with the company describing itself as operating the first nanoscience and nanotechnology research center in Latin America (established 2008) and holding a portfolio of six granted US patents and one Canadian patent covering its formulations.

Its commercial product line is anchored by the PETROFANTOM® family (including WP 004X, UNTIGHT, PRNF A 2000, ACTIVATOR 30, and PRNF A 200) for well-stimulation and remediation use cases, complemented by a broader catalog of chemical additives — dispersants, asphaltene inhibitors, paraffin inhibitors, clay and fine stabilizers, antisludge agents, cosolvents, and surfactants. A more recent platform, IN-SITU Nanofluido™, extends the company into CO2 capture and water-retention applications, with the company claiming a 35% reduction in heavy crude usage. The PETRORAZA CQD line (carbon quantum dots) is positioned as an additional emerging product category. Sales are made directly to oil and gas operators and service companies, with stated geographic reach spanning South America and Colombia and an aspirational "From Colombia to the World" commercial posture; the company also maintains a 15-year partnership with Ecosiembra covering carbon offsets, reforestation, and plant-sourced raw materials.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• EcosiembracoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2005Petroraza partnered with Ecosiembra for carbon footprint mitigation and replacement of fossil-origin raw materials with plant-sourced alternatives. Ecosiembra provides vegetable oils extracted from Jatropha, Higuerilla, and Sacha Inchi trees planted near Santa Fe de Antioquia, which Petroraza uses as raw materials in its production processes. Petroraza also commissions Ecosiembra to plant one tree for every two drums of product sold, under a 15-year commitment. The partnership employs 60% local labor and focuses on recovering arid soils and reforesting watersheds.
