WaterCurb™ RPM:
WaterCurb™ RPM is a patented
microgel technology for water shut-off treatments and other conformance
operations. It also improves
rock consolidation and increasing the lifetime of
sand control completions.
Benefits:
· Excellent mechanical (20000 s-1
applied shear rates)
· Thermal (up to 165 °C) and
chemical resistance
· High temperature resistance
· Water soluble
· Size controlled and narrow
size distribution
· Not effected by parameters
such as pH or presence of electrolytes
· Good injectivity and depth of propagation. Note that it penetrates
the largest permeability layer, therefore applicable to specific
candidate
wells/reservoirs
Application:
· Long term reduction in water
production, in various field situations and wide range of permeabilities (up to
5 darcy)
· Water shut off multi-layer
water-flooded wells
· Applicable for horizontal and
multi-lateral wells
· High salinity environments
· Mobility control fluids where linear polymers do not suit the
reservoir conditions
