Strategic Chemical Consulting Backed by Experience

Founded by field chemist Terry Arnold, TerraChem was built on a simple principle: solve real problems with real chemistry. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in oilfield production systems, Terry saw a gap in the industry. Operators were often overspending on chemicals that did not solve the root cause. So, he created a company that does it differently.
At TerraChem, our consulting services are grounded in fieldwork, backed by lab insight, and driven by a customer-first approach. We work directly with your team to evaluate system performance, identify the true source of production challenges, and develop tailored treatment strategies that work. Whether it is a tank bottom issue, a stubborn emulsion, or recurring water quality problems, we start by understanding your operation in the field, then apply the right chemistry to fix it.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every consultation includes careful system analysis, on-site evaluation, and, when needed, custom formulation Terry brings deep expertise and a sharp eye for system inefficiencies, backed by decades in oilfield treatment and chemical development.

What began as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted partner for operators across California and the western United States, while maintaining the same hands on, results driven approach. From field troubleshooting and lab testing to long-term support and compliance planning, TerraChem is your partner in chemical reliability.
