Tech Report SAFE-BREAK Prime Nonemulsifier Successfully Breaks Preexisting Crude and Brine Emulsion
Universal nonemulsifier outperforms pills with solvent to clean a contaminated wellbore.
Nonemulsifiers
Additives to control emulsion formation in brines
Control emulsion formation in brines and reservoir drill-in fluids
M-I SWACO provides uniquely engineered nonemulsifiers, which are used to prevent the formation of a stable emulsion between clear-brine completion fluids and reservoir crude oil.
Our nonemulsifier line includes concentrated blends of surfactants and solvents that facilitate full reclamation of the completion brine.
Effectiveness
Effective at low concentrations
Solubility
Soluble with most water-based and clear-brine fluids
Stabilization
Capable of stabilizing well performance in deepwater wells
SAFE-BREAK Prime
The SAFE-BREAK Prime universal nonemulsifier is a specialty solvent and surfactant blend that prevents a stable emulsion forming between clear-brine completion fluids and reservoir crude oil.
SAFE-BREAK CBF PLUS
Prevent a stable emulsion between clear-brine completion fluids and reservoir crude oil with the SAFE-BREAK CBF PLUS advanced emulsifier—a specialty solvent and surfactant blend.
SAFE-BREAK 611
SAFE-BREAK 611 emulsifier is a concentrated blend of surfactants and solvents designed to prevent emulsions or improve compatibility caused by the interaction of highly asphaltic crude oils and seawater, low-density completion brines, and acidizing treatments.
