Anti Sludge AS 180
Prevents sludge formation in crude oil mixtures during acidic treatment thereby increasing drilling operation efficiency and output.
Where is Anti Sludge AS 180 used?
Main application is for preventing asphalt sludge during HCL Hydrochloric Acid Treatment
- Matrix acidizing
- Carbonate reservoir stimulation
- Sandstone acid treatments
- Well cleanup operations
- Production enhancement treatments
- High-asphaltene crude oil reservoirs
- HCl acid systems
- Organic acid systems (formic/acetic acid blends)
Mix RXSOL Anti Sludge AS 180 with acid and crude oil solution depending on the sludge properties of each. Usual dosage is 8-30 Ltrs of Anti Sludge AS 180 per 1000 Ltrs solution.
Important Consideration: DO NOT MIX with solutions containing cationic elements (corrosion inhibitors, etc). This would result in an internal chemical reaction.
How to prevent sludge formation during acidic treatment in oilfield application?
It is critical to prevent sludge formation in oil operations. This increases operational efficiencies in the long run. Reduce clean up time and increase oil-production after stimulation using RXSOL Anti Sludge AS 180:
- Prevents asphaltic sludge formation during acidizing
- Stabilizes dispersed asphaltenes
- Minimizes acid/oil incompatibility
- Prevents emulsion formation
- Improves acid penetration into the formation
- Reduces formation plugging
- Enhances permeability recovery
- Improves post-treatment flowback
- Compatible with most acid corrosion inhibitor packages
- Effective over a wide temperature range
