AphBreak
Filter Cake Breaker
Description
AphBreak is a delayed acid generator used for the slow release of acid to act as a filter cake breaker, oxidizer and gel breaker. When spotted down-hole, it reacts with water, generates acid and subsequently dissolves the calcium carbonate and polysaccharides.
Application
AphBreak is a delayed release breaker, releasing the active material when introduced to formation. This can be controlled to allow time for workover or completion operations and can be used to effectively satisfy a filter cake breaker, oxidizer, and gel breaker.
Benefits
The cost-effective system allows time to enable running work-over and completion operations, increasing hydrocarbon production rates. Advantages include low cost, ease of mixing and pumping, and excellent filter cake removal with minimal formation damage.
Treatment Recommendation
The AphBreak solution is a time-release breaker and the reaction that breaks down Gel/Cake is dependent upon temperatures down hole and time needed. A bottom hole temperature at or near 250 F a solution treated with 12 ppb of APHBREAK will require 24 - 36 hours of soak time.
