Chemicals of various types are used in every stage of drilling, completing, and producing oil and gas wells. This review describes these chemicals, why they are used, and recent developments. These chemicals include common inorganic salts, transition metal compounds, common organic chemicals and solvents, water-soluble and oil-soluble polymers, and surfactants. As existing fields become depleted, use of chemistry to maintain production via well stimulation, more efficient secondary recovery operations, and enhanced oil recovery become ever more important.

DFT calculations offer a good compromise between speed and accuracy. They are well suited for problem molecules such as transition metal complexes. This feature has revolutionized computational inorganic chemistry. DFT often underestimates activation energies and many functionals reproduce hydrogen bonds poorly. Weak van der Waals interactions (dispersion) are not reproduced by DFT a weakness that is shared with current semi-empirical MO techniques. 

There is a growing interest in modeling transition metals because of its applicability to catalysts, bioinorganics, materials science, and traditional inorganic chemistry. Unfortunately, transition metals tend to be extremely difficult to model. This is so because of a number of effects that are important to correctly describing these compounds. The problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of computational methods have been created, tested, and optimized for organic molecules. Some of the techniques that work well for organics perform poorly for more technically difficult transition metal systems.

The quinone-hydroquinone system represents a classic example of a fast, reversible redox system. This type of reversible redox reaction is characteristic of many inorganic systems, such as the interchange between oxidation states in transition metal ions, but it is relatively uncommon in organic chemistry. The reduction of benzoquinone to hydroquinone...
