Innospec noted that while new products will help it to gain, its balanced capital management program is likely to create shareholder value, moving ahead. The company also sees healthy prospects for Oilfield Services for the balance of 2017.

Innospec is well positioned to deliver strong growth in all its businesses. The company continues to fully integrate its recent acquisitions as well as pursue other strategic buyouts to boost its portfolio further.
