State-of-the-Art Nonphosphate Design Revolutionizes Hydrocarbon-Based Completion Technologies

Abstract: Oil based fluids have been used since the inception of well completion technologies. Formation sensitivity to water has often been the primary consideration for the selection of oil based stimulation fluids. Historically, oil based fracturing designs required complicated procedures to successfully execute a fracturing operation. Rheological properties of fluid compositions used did not produce stimulation fluids with optimum viscosity or transport characteristics. The obvious hazards involved in accomplishing … Show more

“…These fluids can be divided into two main groups, namely oil-based and water-based fracturing fluids. Oil-based fracturing fluids are gasoline gelled with aluminum carboxylates, soaps, viscous refined oils, phosphate esters or gelled crude emulsions [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. They were used to prevent damage to formations containing water-sensitive clays.…”
