Mirrico history

It all began with chromium acetate

Mirrico group of companies began on April 14th 2000.

Aim of the new enterprise was small scale chemical production of chromium acetate, cross-linker for water-based polymer systems. This product was applied by most of Russian oil companies, but provided by the only manufacturer. We started production in 2000 at leased facilities in Kazan. Within one year we began to supply the product for OJSC Tatneft, and later for other companies. Effectively arranged production allowed the company to outdistance the competition and at the same time to be profitable, all these gave opportunity for development. By dynamic development the company increased production capacity and extended list of partners. 

New lap

In 2002 the company with a service organization, a contractor of Lukoil OJSC established a joint venture with intention to manufacture and realize agents for enhanced oil recovery for oil producing companies in Russia. The new company was rapidly spinning up. The enterprise develops, manufactures, imports under dealer agreements a wide range of efficient chemical agents. The largest consumers of the products were such companies as: Lukoil OJSC, Tatneft OJSC, TNK OJSC, Sibneft OJSC, Surgutneftegaz OJSC. The company has achieved significant results.

New opportunities

In 2003 with new vigor and expertise the company continued individual work in development and realization of chemical agents within the oil industry. With the head office located in Kazan, a new office was opened in Moscow. Long-term relations have been established with institutes, Russian and foreign manufacturers, new chemical agents were developed for requirements of the oil and gas industry.

R&D

Since 2004 the company began active investment in science and manufacture. An engineering center was established which gathered a team of talented chemists and technologists with the initiative of utilization and enrichment of expertise and advances of the oil and gas industry. The laboratory searches and develops high-efficiency and high technology processes and products and introduces the products to oil companies. The priority research directions are chemical agents for oil processing and transportation. Innovation groups and mobile teams were formed which are always ready to visit the customer, perform laboratory and benchmark tests, analyze causes of current problems and arrive at the head office with tasks to be solved.

We became interested in development, testing and selection of drilling mud chemical agents and started to work in this direction.

In the same year the company entered industrial water treatment market.

Productive assets

By 2005 company size was over thirty employees. In order to realize scientific potential of the engineering center and implement chemical researches the company acquired a chemical plant in Almetyevsk with the capacity of 30000 tons per year for the requirements of the oil industry. Own chemical agents are tested and manufactured at this plant. Production of finished products as well as active bases was set up.

New directions

Since the end of 2005 – beginning 2006 the company was developing very rapidly. The group affiliated service company in the drilling mud services, and began supplies of oil country tubular goods from abroad. The company personnel increased by 115 employees, separate subdivisions were opened in Nizhnevartovsk, Usinsk, Almetyevs, Lipetsk, the head office was moved to a new building in the down town of Kazan. Material and technical basis of the engineering center was improved, production facilities were modernized. The company actively operates in the field of drilling muds services, EOR, carries out intensive development of field operations on sites. A new training center was opened to prepare drilling mud engineers and mud cleaning systems operators. List of customers was growing. The company was involved in contracts on supply of products or technical services with almost all large Russian oil companies.  

International markets

In 2007 the company broadened its boarders and potential. A powerful research team of “Polybent” company with centers in Moscow and Krasnodar joined the group. At the production site in Izhevsk production of equipment for oil and gas industry was set up. Oilfield chemistry laboratory was completely equipped and upgraded, and became the best one in Russia. New separate subdivisions were established in Samara, Krasnoyarsk, Megion and Noyabrsk. The company entered international market: representative office in Republic of Iran to promote oilfield chemical services and products. Mirrico began promotion of the products and services in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
