Non-emulsifiers

Application of patented non-emulsifiers ensure that the produced fluids (the oil and the water) do not emulsify causing upset on the production process.

Aquative-810®

Cationic non-emulsifier

Description

Aquative-810 is a specifically formulated, concentrated blend of low environmental impact cationic surfactants, developed to alleviate down-hole emulsion formation in aqueous stimulation fluids, and emulsion formed during well stimulation operations.

Application

Aquative-810 when added into the stimulation fluid prior to treatment will assist in the destabilization and subsequent effective and rapid resolution of any emulsions formed as the treatment fluid comes into contact with hydrocarbons.

Features and Benefits
  • Minimizes the occurrence of emulsions in aqueous stimulation fluids in crude oil
  • It can be used in preflush fluids, acid solutions and fracturing fluids
  • Proven to be compatible with a wide range of Baker Hughes CRONOX® Acid Corrosion Inhibitors

Aquative-620®

Non-emulsifier and emulsion block breaker

Description

Aquative-620 is a specifically formulated, concentrated blend of non-ionic and anionic surfactants, developed to alleviate down-hole emulsion formation when acidizing fluids come into contact with hydrocarbons present in the formation during acidizing operations.

Application

Aquative-620 when added into the stimulation fluid prior to treatment will assist in the effective and rapid resolution of any emulsions formed as the treatment fluid comes into contact with hydrocarbons present in the formation. It is also extremely effective at breaking existing emulsions and water-blocks that may be present in the formation when applied as an additive in either aqueous or hydrocarbon based carrier fluids.

Features and Benefits
  • Extremely effective at removing both emulsion and water-blocks that are already present in the formation

Aquative-7104®

Non ionic non emulsifier

Description

This product is a non-ionic surfactant made by reacting ethylene oxide with an alkyl phenol. Surface activity of Aquative-7104 surfactant is the result of combining an oil-soluble (hydrophobic) group with a water soluble (hydrophilic) group in the same molecule.

Application

Aquative-7104 surfactant functions by adsorbing at an interface (e.g., oil and water; oil and solid) to lower interfacial tension. It imparts wettability, surfactancy, and/or dispersibility to formulations. Also found application as surfactant in cement spacer packages by dispersing polymeric bonding agents.

Features and Benefits
  • At low concentrations prevents emulsions (act as a non-emulsifier) and aid in water wetting the formation and fines
  • Beneficial in both normal acidizing operations, and for mud clean out acid where it aids in removing and dispersing drilling fluid residues

Aquative-720®

Non ionic non emulsifier

Description

Aquative-720 is a non-ionic surfactant system designed to prevent the emulsification of reservoir fluids by the treating fluids.

Application

The product is applicable in varying strengths of acid and water-based stimulation fluids and is for use in either sandstone or carbonate formations. Due to its non-ionic nature, the surfactant is compatible with other non-ionic, cationic and anionic additives.

Features and Benefits
  • Helps prevent the formation from becoming oil-wet during and after treatment
  • Reduces surface and interfacial tension to minimize water blocks during fluid recovery
  • Very dispersible in the various types of treating fluids
  • Mixing with other non-ionic or ionic additives without fear of separations
  • Compatible with anti-sludge additives and mutual solvents
