An Aphron Based Completions Fluid System 

What are Aphron Based Fluid Systems?

ONE CORE  | TWO LAYER  |  THREE MEMBRANE

  • Non-coalescing and recirculatable micro-bubbles

  • Gas core with protective shell to prevent leakage and maintain density

  • Additional benefits of surfactant shell

    • anti-coalescing qualities

    • Interfacial tension binds aphrons into network for bridging capabilities

    • Useful in aqueous mixtures at any salinity

Application of Aphron

LOW DENSITY FORMATION BRIDGING

  • Aphrons completions applications

  • Adapted from years of Drilling Success

  • Encapsulated air reduces fluid system density

  • Aphrons create micro- environments in tortuous pore throats and fractures resulting in bridging.

  • Bridgingfromencapsulated bubbles prevents near wellbore damage unlike other LCM material

  • Viscous quality allows for sweeping ability of solids

NO FILTER CAKE OR NEAR WELLBORE DAMAGE

  • • Bridging
    • Prevents formation entry of potentially

  • damaging gels in underbalanced zones
    • Lack of affinity for buildup on mineral surface and each other

    • Creating ability to be produced back with ease​

  • Residual surfactant and Polymer highly water soluble to confirm complete clean-up​
