High-Performance Non Emulsifiers for Acidizing Applications

During well acidizing, unwanted emulsions can form between acids/water and heavy crude oils. Emulsions formed by the mixture of acid and crude oil or produced water and crude oil  can cause a significant disruption to production operations. They can decrease production, leading to increased costs for resolving the production loss.

Non emulsifiers are specialized oilfield chemicals that prevent the formation of these emulsions. By ensuring cleaner separation of fluids, non emulsifiers optimize the acidizing process and allow for better stimulation, providing complete phase separation and improving hydrocarbon recovery from selected crude oils.

Role of Non Emulsifiers in Acidizing Applications

The role of a non emulsifier for acidizing application is vital for successful treatments. These chemical solutions function by:

• Interfacial Modification: They alter the surface properties between oil and water. This makes it difficult for stable emulsions to develop.
• Acid System Versatility: Our non emulsifiers are designed for compatibility. They work effectively with common acids used in the well acidizing procedure, such as HCl, HF and mixed acid blends.
• Emulsion Inhibition: By preventing the formation of persistent emulsions, our non emulsifiers optimize well acidizing operations and hydrocarbon production. 

Performance Highlights & Field Applications

• Robust Lab Performance: Our non emulsifiers show exceptional ability to prevent stable emulsions under various conditions, as validated by extensive lab testing.
• Successful Field Applications: Operators globally have reported significant improvements in well cleanup and reduced emulsion related downtime with our non emulsifiers in well acidizing procedure.
• Additive Friendly: Our chemical solutions are designed to be compatible with other chemicals and solutions commonly employed in well acidizing treatments.

How to Choose the Right Non Emulsifier for Your Operations

Optimize your well acidizing success by selecting the right non emulsifier. Consider these crucial aspects:

• Acid Chemistry: Match the non emulsifier to the specific acid being used.
• Reservoir Fluids: Understand the emulsification tendencies of your formation’s oil and water.
• Environmental Factors: Ensure the non emulsifier is effective at your well’s temperature and salinity levels.
