Completion Fluids

Protecting Formation Permeability

Completion fluids are typically brines such as bromides and chlorides and are used to optimise the production of hydrocarbons from the well. Particles of dirt that may be present in completion fluids can affect the permeability of the reservoir and can result in a decrease in productivity.

Filtration is typically used to guarantee that all down well fluids are clean ‘free of particulate’ to ultimately protect the well permeability and to maintain continuous flow of oil.

Industry standards use a combination of DE filter press technology with cartridge filtration. Cartridge filtration is generally in a parallel filter pod system however for final filter protection a filter pod can be in series as illustrated.

GUARDFLOW can also be used as an additional stage post pumps to guarantee integrity of down well solutions.

Pleatflow N
PLEATFLOW N filter cartridges have been designed specifically for oil field applications and can be used as a polishing filter for injection water or to filter completion fluids, protecting the well and removing dirt from brines that can lead to a decrease in productivity.
Sorbflow V
SORBFLOW cartridges differ from those offered by other manufacturers where hydrocarbons are removed through surface adsorption onto the medium, SORBFLOW V cartridges employ a proprietary modified polymer that both absorbs and chemically binds the hydrocarbon molecules into its interior matrices.
Texflow
TEXFLOW precision wound depth filter cartridges are manufactured to give a considerable dirt holding capacity coupled with high flow rates and low pressure loss.
