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​
