In this study, formation water sample No. 1082 from the Narimanov OGPD, together with crude oil samples from the Bulla-Deniz and Muradkhanli fields, was examined under laboratory conditions to evaluate the efficiency of chemical reagents. The Alkan-318 demulsifier, Marza-1 inhibitor, Difron-4201 depressor additive, and a combined ADM composition (Alkan-318 + Difron-4201 + Marza-1 in a 1:1:1 ratio) were tested for their effects on water separation, corrosion inhibition, sulfate-reducing bacterium activity, paraffin deposition, and pour point depression. Comparative experiments showed that the ADM composition demonstrated superior performance over individual reagents at equal concentrations. At an optimal dosage of 600 g/t, the ADM composition reduced the residual water content (mass fraction) of Bulla-Deniz (75% initial water cut) and Muradkhanli (41% initial water cut) crude oils to 0.1 wt.% and 0.8 wt.%, respectively, after thermochemical treatment. The depressant performance was evaluated based on the degree of pour point reduction (ΔT, °C) relative to untreated oil. At optimal concentrations, Difron-4201 and the ADM composition reduced the pour point by 9.0–10.0 °C, demonstrating the superior efficiency of the multifunctional composition compared to individual additives. Corrosion tests revealed that Marza-1 and ADM provided up to 99.9% protection in aggressive H2S and CO2 environments, while ADM also exhibited a nearly complete bactericidal effect (99.8%) against sulfate-reducing bacteria, highlighting its multifunctional efficiency.
