Viscoelastic Surfactant
Description
This non-Polymeric surfactant gelling agent is a patented viscoelastic surfactant (VES) that offers a range of unique benefits when used in acidizing of hydrocarbon-bearing carbonate reservoirs. This product can provide enhanced wormhole network development during carbonate reservoir acidizing, particularly at high temperature, without causing significant face dissolution. It can also be used as a diverting agent for optimized stimulation performance in multistage acidizing treatments of high perforation length wells, particularly horizontal wells.
Typical Application
The ability to divert acid at temperatures up to 350°F/180°C during acid stimulation operations. The ability to treat lower temperature reservoirs at lower dose of VES. A product that performs equally as well in limestone and dolomite reservoirs. Easy field formulation of a single component viscosifier that blends easily into acid without. Viscosifying until neutralized in the reservoir. Better iron tolerance than other VES-based systems for acidizing
