ChampionX Enhances Permian Basin Operations by 10%, Boosts Efficiency and Sustainability

ChampionX, a global leader in chemistry solutions for the energy industry, has successfully completed a multi-million-dollar project to modernize its chemical manufacturing hub in the Permian Basin. This investment aims to meet the growing demand for its products, reduce environmental impact, and improve operational efficiency.

The upgraded facility offers numerous advantages. Notably, it has significantly boosted production capacity. The new filler technology has increased productivity by 10%, enabling an additional 10 million kilograms of annual throughput.

Furthermore, the upgrade has a positive environmental impact. By minimizing inter-plant transportation, the project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 56.7 tons of CO2 per year.

Safety has also been enhanced with the incorporation of advanced features like vapor recovery, grounding, and splash protection in the new system.

The streamlined operations and reduced material handling have led to improved efficiency and shorter lead times, benefiting both the company and its customers.

The Odessa plant was established in 1975 in Texas, US and has long been a cornerstone of the region's oil and gas industry. The recent upgrade incorporates state-of-the-art automation and packaging technologies, including an automated tote and drum filling station. This advanced system is designed to enhance safety, ergonomics, and productivity.

The project has led to the creation of five new jobs, bringing the total workforce at the Odessa plant to 68. ChampionX has also invested in comprehensive training programs for its employees to ensure optimal utilization of the new equipment and processes.

Shankar Annamalai, Vice President for ChampionX Permian Basin said, "We are dedicated to driving safety and unlocking efficiencies for our clients and workforce. This equipment upgrade enhances safety capabilities and provides a more efficient production and delivery model for all stakeholders."
