Oilfield additives refer to various chemicals and materials used in the process of petroleum exploration and development, used to improve oil recovery and improve oil well production. Some oilfield additives may have certain hazards, but not all oilfield additives are classified as dangerous goods.
In the application of oilfield additives, some hazardous chemicals may be used, such as acidic solutions, solvents, preservatives, etc. These chemicals need to strictly follow relevant safety operating procedures and take necessary protective measures during their use and treatment to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
To ensure the safe use of oilfield additives, these chemicals are usually evaluated and classified, and labeled, packaged, and transported in accordance with international and national regulations. Some highly hazardous oilfield additives may be defined as hazardous materials and require special treatment and management.
Therefore, in general, certain chemicals in oilfield additives may have certain hazards, but it does not mean that all oilfield additives are dangerous goods. Specifically, it is necessary to evaluate the hazards of specific chemicals and applications, and take corresponding safety measures to ensure safety during use.
