AphronICS™
Invasion-Control System
Description
The AphronICS is patent-proven engineered drilling fluid system that controls pressure (losses) in depleted, high-porosity, fractured formations while stabilizing pressured shales.
AphronICS replaces UBD, MBD, LCM, drill multiple pressure zone, and depleted formations to successfully complete many reservoirs that previously would have been candidates only for multi intervals, under-balanced drilling or even abandoned reserves due to drilling difficulties.
This technology reduces your risks of invasion, lost circulation, differential sticking and formation damage, while increasing production levels.
- Application
Aphrons are our patented multiphase drilling fluid with a hydrophobic nature that incorporates uniquely structured micro-bubbles allowing for major reduction of lost circulation. The system has highly successful field-proven capabilities in drilling depleted reservoirs, low pressure highly fractured formations, and multi pressure zones with one mud weight (MW). The use of full density against higher pressure shales within highly depleted reservoirs becomes the main application of these fluids. The result is optimized well construction, eliminating the need of at least one casing interval.
