About Us

I did a lot of research and testing with PARC 400 Chemical before I became a distributor. Big Chief Ventures Inc. has now been a Canadian distributor of PARC 400 Chemical for over 20 years. As the owner of Big Chief, I have developed and supervised more applications & treatments with PARC 400 Chemical than any other Distributor in the World!!! I do

I have been in the oil and gas industry for forty plus years and have a lot of experience with oilfield chemicals. My testing with PARC 400 Chemical proved to me that if you have a Paraffin a/o Asphaltene problem and if we can get PARC 400 Chemical in contact with the Paraffin a/o Asphaltene, the problem will be solved. With all my past experience with other chemicals, I never found any that worked as well as PARC 400 Chemical. We have used PARC 400 Chemical on numerous wax problems in the oil & gas industry, solving a wide range of Paraffin & Asphaltene problems.

PARC 400 Chemical is notorious for the ‘Single Source Solution to all of your Paraffin & Asphaltene problems’ because it is a Solvent, Dispersant, Crystal Modifier and Inhibitor, all in one.
That is why PARC 400 Chemical has always been relied on to solve the worst cases of Paraffin & Asphaltene problems for all of our customers and new customers, alike.

If you have a Paraffin a/o Asphaltene problem, give us a call: 1-250-787-6780 for a solution.

"The Tank Turbulator"

We will process your "Tank Bottom Sludge" into 'pipeline acceptable' crude oil, which in most cases, will more than pays for "your tank cleaning". We have been doing this for many years and have had all satisfied customers.

"The Tank Turbulator" was developed to enhance the PARC 400 Chemical treatment program by processing tank bottom sludge back into pipeline acceptable crude oil.

By using PARC 400 Chemical, "The Tank Turbulator" and crude oil, we can process all hydrocarbon Tank Bottom Sludge in your crude oil storage tanks, back into 'pipeline acceptable' crude oil.

Sludge on the bottom of crude oil storage tanks is composed primarily of heavy hydrocarbon deposits, paraffin and asphaltene. Traditionally, sludge has been the domain of re-claimers, vac trucks and crews who all incur a huge cost to you for the removal and disposal of the hydrocarbon sludge.

With our process, it is not necessary to manually remove the hydrocarbon sludge from tank bottoms. By using PARC400 Chemical, a heating & pumping method (hot oilers for tanks up to approx. 100,000 bbl's.) and the Tank Turbulator, the process will transform hydrocarbon sludge into pipeline acceptable crude oil, while it is in your tank. Now you can sell all of your sludge and not have to pay for it's removal and diposal.

Our process significantly reduces the down time for your tanks. Our process is also simpler, safer and less expensive than any mechanical removal methods. Our process eliminates the danger of traditional sludge removal processes, where men work inside the tank. With our process men work safely on the outside of the tanks while the sludge is being processed inside the tank. Our process eliminates the high cost of removal, transportation and the disposal cost of sludge.

Ask yourself, why pay to have the sludge removed from the tanks, transported, and disposed of, when we can process it back into pipeline acceptable oil and you can sell it for a profit?

PARC400 Chemical is a solvent, dispersant, crystal modifier and inhibitor all in one. Once PARC400 puts paraffins and asphaltenes into solution, the crystal modifier in PARC400 keeps wax in solution until they are extracted at the refinery. PARC400 Chemical has been used in numerous foreign countries, the United States and Canada, for over twenty years.

The Tank Turbulator is a device that we developed to provides high pressure turbulating on the tank bottom, where the sludge is, by the extreme blending and mixing of the sludge, the PARC400 Chemical, and the crude oil, within the tank.

NOTE: When processing tank bottom sludge it is blended with 3 - 4 parts of crude oil per 1 part of sludge. This is done to keep the viscosity of the oil at an acceptable level once the sludge has been processed back into pipeline acceptable crude oil.

The volume of fluid circulated through The Tank Turbulator is dependant on the diameter of tank and the volume of sludge and oil. The Tank Turbulator is designed to be fitted near the bottom of the storage tank and can be extended up to 50 meters into the tank (approx. 160 feet) if required.

Seeing is believing!!!!

Here is a few PARC 400 Chemical Applications that we have had great success with:

  • Batch treatments for oil and gas wells.   
  • Formation cleaning on oil wells or basically any well that produces fluid. Note: Let us know your formation type, so fluid does not cause clay swelling.
  • Constant injection down the annulus, if no packer in well. (preferred method)
  • Formation cleaning in water injection wells.
  • Processing Tank Bottom Sludge. (The ‘Tank Turbulator’ process is Awesome!!!)
  • In most cases the recovered cost of selling your ‘pipeline acceptable’ processed Tank Bottom Sludge will pay for the processing so your tank bottom sludge is removed for little or no cost to you.
  • Pressure up wax plugged flow line or pipeline with PARC 400 Chemical to penetrate the plug.
  • Treating full crude oil tanks that cut high BS&W and are not pipeline acceptable
