During stimulation operations, water, oil, and acid-based fluids are injected into the well, filling the formation pores and reaching the oil reservoirs. Depending on the intensity of the flow and the conditions applied, these fluids can interact with the oil to form viscous emulsions, causing several problems in the reservoir and, ultimately, a drop in oil production.
ULTRAWET® 80 is a non-ionic surfactant formulation that works as a protection in the layer between the oil and the fluid, preventing the formation of an emulsion. The addition of ULTRAWET® 80 to the completion fluids helps to maintain its properties, reduces its surface tension, improves the reflux performance, and protects the oil in the reservoir.
