SLB (formerly Schlumberger) unveiled its ChampionX nano chemical technology suite at the ADIPEC 2023 exhibition in Abu Dhabi. This suite includes manufactured chemical products designed to assist operators in tackling challenges related to scaling, corrosion, paraffin, and heavy oil recovery in mature wells. The ChampionX technology combines nanomaterials and high-performance chemistry to provide solutions for optimizing production, ensuring flow, and enhancing oil recovery.
Extended Release Technology
The first technology in this suite is the Extended Release scale inhibitor treatment, which is designed at the nanoscale. This technology utilizes engineered nanoparticles that attach to reservoir rock surfaces and gradually release the scale inhibitor into the produced water. According to SLB, the implementation of this technology in offshore areas has shown more than double the lifespan of traditional scale inhibitor treatments. This reduction in the need for frequent interventions supports production continuity and reduces overall operational costs.

Support for Research and Testing
SLB emphasized that this technology suite has been developed based on research, laboratory testing, and field validation. The company also strengthened this sector by acquiring the ChampionX chemical manufacturing business for $7.8 billion in July 2025. This move enables SLB to respond to the growing needs of the oil and gas industry with innovative solutions and improve existing challenges.
The ChampionX technology can serve as an effective tool in enhancing the performance of mature wells. This technology not only helps reduce costs but also leads to increased lifespan and productivity of the wells. Ultimately, SLB aims to revolutionize the management methods of mature wells and optimize production processes with this new technology.
