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.
