SNF is the leading producer of acrylamide-based polymers
SNF has by far the largest production capacity of the industry with 40% of the world capacity
SNF has invested more than 850 MUSD in the past 10 years to build state of the art manufacturing units in Europe, China and the USA
SNF has 30 years of experience in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and has been one of the precursors of the technology in the USA
SNF is continuously improving its EOR polymer technology through close working relationships with research teams of oil companies

Through traditional recovery methods, only about 20% to 30% of the original oil in place (OOIP) is recovered. Polymer flooding is one EOR technique allowing to recover an additional 15% to 20% of the OOIP. The market needs for EOR polymers will be huge and the reliable supply of the polymers will soon become of essence. To support the expected market growth, SNF is commited to invest strongly in the coming years to expand its leading position as the largest producer of polymers for EOR.

SNF is in a unique position to advise and support oil companies for their polymer EOR needs
