The Science Behind Effective Gel Breaking in Oilfield Operations with Advanced Additives
Effective hydraulic fracturing is paramount for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery from oil and gas wells. A critical stage in this process involves the controlled breaking of fracturing fluid gels. These gels, essential for carrying proppants into the fracture network, must be efficiently degraded to allow unimpeded flow of oil and gas. However, in low-temperature reservoirs, this gel breaking can become a significant hurdle, impacting overall well productivity and leading to potential reservoir damage. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides advanced chemical solutions to overcome these challenges.
Our Cryogenic Activator is specifically designed to enhance the performance of fracturing fluids in sub-optimal temperature conditions, typically below 40°C. The formulation, combining triethanolamine, surfactants, and water, is engineered to facilitate a mild redox reaction with common gel breakers such as ammonium persulfate. This controlled interaction is key to stimulating the premature and efficient release of the active components within the gel breaker.
The science is straightforward: the activator acts as a catalyst, lowering the activation energy required for the gel breaker to function effectively at lower temperatures. Without this intervention, the gel may persist, leading to increased viscosity, reduced flowback, and potentially damaging the permeability of the reservoir. By ensuring complete gel breaking, our product contributes to the success of petroleum well stimulation technologies and is a vital part of advanced oil drilling chemicals.
When considering low-temperature oilfield fracturing solutions, the choice of additives is crucial. Our Cryogenic Activator not only ensures thorough gel breaking but also offers good permeability and activation performance. This means that the fracture network remains open and conductive, allowing for optimal production. It is a prime example of how strategic application of oilfield chemical innovation can lead to significantly improved outcomes.
For operators focused on enhanced oil recovery agents and maximizing the long-term value of their assets, understanding the precise function of each chemical additive is essential.
