Mutual Solvents

Water and oil just don’t mix… so how do you ensure that your well will ‘come alive’ again after squeezing the acid? The answer is to use proven Mutual Solvents which stimulate the wells again, releasing the oil which would otherwise remain in the well formation.

AquaDis-130®

Mutual solvent

Description

AquaDis-130 mutual solvent is a proprietary blend of aliphatic and aromatic organic solvents and surface-active agents which functions as a micellar solvent for use in acidizing operations. It can also be used as an acid additive.

Application

AquaDis-120 is recommended for conventional and unconventional applications onshore, and offshore. When used as an acid additive, it penetrates and removes hydrocarbon coated surfaces to water-wet acid-solubles. It also serves to inhibit emulsions and to remove existing emulsion blocks or water blocks.

Features and Benefits
  • Excellent hydrocarbon penetration
  • Contains non-emulsifying agents
  • Water-wetting
