HYSAL® SF
- Sized, fine particle water-soluble completion and workover fluid additive
- Added to high density brines to provide effective bridging and temporary plugging of productive formations or sand control screens after gravel packing
DESCRIPTION
Hysal SF is a blend of polymer, buffers and a high purity, specially ground fine particle sodium chloride. The particle size ranges from 0.07 - 44 microns. Hysal SF is packaged in 50 lb or 25 kg sacks.
BASE BRINES
Hysal SF is added to high density brines composed of calcium chloride, calcium bromide and/or zinc bromide mixtures having densities ranging from 12.5 - 16.0 lb/gal to provide bridging and fluid loss control at temperatures up to 250°F.
APPLICATIONS
Hysal SF fluids are designed for gravel packing applications where plugging of fine production screens must be avoided and where a fluid density of 12.5 to 16.0 lb/gal is needed.
ADVANTAGES
- Hysal SF makes it possible to temporarily seal a permeable formation with a high density fluid and and flow easily through a 6 or 8 gauge wire-wrapped production or tell-tale screen
- Hysal SF can be used to seal inside a completion screen to prevent losses after gravel packing by the addition of larger salt particles, Plug-Sals
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
A concentration of 100 pounds of Hysal SF and 0.5 gal of Hysal Activator per barrel of base fluid is required with fluid densities in the 12.5 - 16.0 lb/gal range.
