Clariant boosts technology and sustainability capabilities in state-of-the-art oilfield services center in South Texas

HOUSTON – Clariant’s Oil and Mining Services business has officially opened its new, state-of-the-art Eagle Ford Technology, Sales & Operations Center near San Antonio, TX. The facility is uniquely positioned to improve response time and cater to local customer needs, ensuring a long-term commitment to a strategic and growth orientated oilfield services market in North America.

Consolidating three locations into one major hub, the new technology, operations and commercial Black Hills site has more than 5,000 sq feet of office and networking space, a 3,500 sq foot laboratory and an 80,000 sq foot production area.

With state-of-the-art lab capabilities, through advanced technology, and an in-house team dedicated to local and regional customer challenges, the combined facility will enable Clariant to respond with maximum agility to analyze production issues, chemical solution development and implementation in the field, with simplified logistics, reduced lead times and fewer bottlenecks.

“The central location of the site demonstrates Clariant’s long term commitment to the Eagle Ford oil production region, enabling significant opportunities for our key customer partnerships to grow with the support of our innovative sustainable chemistries and industry leading safety culture,” said Tyler Kilgannon, Head of Sales, NORAM Oil Services.

The Clariant Eagle Ford legacy was established in 2013 with the creation of a sales team from the ground up and grew over the years to be a core contributor to Clariant’s onshore US oilfield services business.

“The consolidation of our three operations into a first class operations hub represents another major milestone, confirming once more that we have become the sustainability and safety role model of our industry leading into a new future,” said Anton Kaiser, Head of Supply Network Clariant BU Oil and Mining Services (OMS).
