GLYCOLS

Monoethylene Glycol

Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a key chemical used in the oil and gas industry, especially in drilling and production operations, to control hydrates and protect assets. In subsea pipelines and some drilling fluids, MEG acts as a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor and antifreeze, helping to prevent ice and gas hydrate blockages while also contributing to corrosion control and system reliability.

areas of application

  • MEG (Mono ethylene glycol) is used to stop gas hydrates and ice in wells, pipelines, and drilling mud, helping protect equipment and reduce corrosion.
  • MEG is used in both offshore and onshore operations. It is especially common offshore in subsea gas wells and pipelines, but the MEG-rich stream is often regenerated and handled in onshore processing plants.

Other Fields

  • Raw material for polyester fibers and PET bottles.
  • Used in engine antifreeze, coolants, and HVAC/refrigeration heat-transfer fluids.
  • Acts as solvent/humectant in textiles, paper, inks, adhesives, and coatings.
