Driver: Rising crude oil production
Increased worldwide crude production, particularly from sour reservoirs (1,000–30,000?ppm H2S), is compelling the need for triazine-type H2S scavengers. Sour crude is associated with safety risks, risk of pipeline corrosion, and regulatory issues. Triazines are preferred due to their high reactivity, low price, and applicability in upstream and midstream oil and gas operations. Global oil consumption rose 1.1?mb/d in 2024 and is expected to reach 105.7?mb/d by 2028 (Source: IEA), with growth in high-sulfur reservoirs like the Permian Basin, Ghawar, and Rumaila. Projects like Jafurah shale gas, OPEC+ sour crude projects, and strict U.S. EPA and EU sulfur regulations provide further backing for uptake.
Restraint: Overdosing concerns in triazine-based treatments
Triazine-type H2S scavengers are highly effective; the possibility of overdosing is a major limitation in their use in the market. Overdosage can cause operational restraints, particularly with crude oil & natural gas processing. The main concern is emulsion formation, whereby excess scavenger reacts with water and hydrocarbons to produce stable emulsions that cannot be easily broken. The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) documented that inadequate dosing of triazines in North Sea offshore platforms raised the amount of emulsion formed by 35%, increased chemical treatment costs, and extended separator downtime. It can also contribute to fouling of pipelines and equipment. In large-scale operations, especially when H2S concentrations fluctuate, suboptimal dosing can raise annual operating costs by 5–10%, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Opportunity: Rising oil & gas exploration activities
Growing world oil and gas exploration is driving demand for triazine-type H2S scavengers. With operators venturing into high-sulfur and complex reservoirs, effective H2S control is essential. In 2024, 778 well drilling activities were executed worldwide, representing a rising global upstream investment of $570 billion for the year (+7% from 2023; Source: IEA). New scavengers that can perform in advanced applications are emerging, including large exploration projects, specifically Brazil's pre-salt offshore basin and Saudi Aramco's Jafurah field. Triazines perform well under these conditions because they have effective H2S performance, facilitating its removal in the liquid phase. Furthermore, market growth is supported by recently applied, stricter H2S emission regulations in the US and EU, while significant proven reserves are to be established in Africa (119 billion barrels) and Latin America (345 billion barrels).
Challenge: Operational complexity in high-pressure and high-salinity conditions
Triazine-based H2S scavengers, although commonly used, perform poorly in harsh conditions, reducing treatment efficacy and raising operating costs. More specifically, thermal instability associated with H2S scavengers can decrease H2S removal from 95% to 40% within 48 hours, as could occur in Kuwait’s Burgan Field (>160°C) (Source: SPE). Furthermore, efficacy is compromised with high-pressure wells (>10,000 psi), salinity (Mukhaizna Field in Oman >250,000 ppm TDS), and co-contaminants such as CO2 (Duvernay Formation in Canada up to 8%), which may cause wellbore issues necessitating a dual-injection system, which can add a cost of up to USD 10 million per year. The conditions of the reservoir can affect these efficiencies significantly.
