Acid stimulation is one of the oldest methods to enhance production in new and older wells. This method is used to increase permeability in production and injector wells in carbonate or sandstone reservoirs by dissolving various solids naturally present or the formation damage particles resulting from drilling or perforating applications. Acid treatments are extremely toxic […]
A key concern in the oilfield industry is bacterial contamination, which is naturally occurring in the hydrocarbons. To help counter this contamination, biocides are used to control sulfate-reducing bacteria, slime-forming bacteria, iron-oxidizing bacteria and bacteria that attack polymers in fracture and secondary recovery fluids. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a full range of registered biocides specifically […]
During the fracture treatment, the stimulation fluid must be able to return to a low viscosity fluid state once the proppant is placed. This helps minimize the return of proppants–keeping the majority of proppant in the fractured zone–and maximize the return of fluids to the surface. Breakers are used to decrease fluid viscosity. Breakers or […]
The composition of the fracturing fluid is of paramount importance for the fracture design to achieve predicable, stable results in a given formation. To achieve the expected results, the fracturing fluid relies on a variety of additives to help control the various parameters. Buffers are a type of additive used to control the pH of […]
Crosslinkers consist of a mixture of salts and guar gel slurry to provide viscosity used for proppant transport in stimulation applications or cleaning treatments in pipelines. IOS offers a range of borate surface crosslinkers and delayed borate crosslinkers specifically designed for immediate or delayed viscosity. VisLink™ 200 Our VisLink 200 can effectively crosslink ultra-low loadings […]
Corrosion inhibitors infused into a frac fluid system help to provide critical protection during the stimulation process to minimize the corrosive effects of treatment chemicals on surface equipment and downhole metals and alloys. IOS offers a family of acid corrosion inhibitors specifically designed to break down acids during hydraulic fracturing and acidizing treatments. Some of […]
To ensure a successful acid stimulation job, correct placement of the acid in matrix treatments is critical.Proper treatment design and planning are essential to ensure that the acid is not only placed in the right interval, but also across the entire interval. This is extremely important in the long horizontal sections found in today’s shale […]
Iron sulfide exists in all oilfield applications where oxygen and water reside. Left untreated, the iron can preciptate and interfere with the fluid system in stimulation applications. In production and pipeline applications, iron sulfide can significantly reduce production or flow, respectively. Innospec Oilfield Services offers iron control, either as a preventative or customized solution, depending […]
