| How do
the ARC Formate Technologies improve the drilling process?
|
The ARC formate fluid systems provide many benefits to the
drilling process.
• Formate brines are solids free, naturally weighted,
monovalent fluids that exhibit excellent shale inhibition
properties.
• Since they are solids free the issue of barite sag
no longer exists in fluid densities up to 19.2 ppg or 2.30
S.G.
• Solids free fluids typically exhibit improved penetration
rates when compared to fluids weighted with solid weighting
agents.
• Solids free fluids exhibit more efficient screening.
• Solids free fluids exhibit improved tool performance
(i.e. LWD/MWD)
• Solids free fluids exhibit improved fluid hydraulics.
The results of these features benefit overall drilling performance.
| How
do the ARC Formate Technologies improve reservoir performance?
|
• Ultra-low solids minimize risk of permeability reduction,
• Monovalent formates minimize risk of precipitation,
• The potential for scale formation and emulsion blocking
are drastically reduced,
• Inhibition stabilized interstitial clays and minimized
fines migration,
| How
do ARC Formate Technologies provide safety benefits to
your well site operations? |
• Formate fluids exhibit excellent test results against
conventional fluids for dermal toxicity, eye irritation, skin
sensitivity and mutagencity.
• Our recycling services benefit your operations by
reducing costs and environmental impact risk.
• Reduced risk means reduced liability exposure related
to the use of the potentially toxic mineral barite.
• These fluids have exhibit the best environmental and
safety profile of all drilling and completion fluids.
| Are
ARC Formate Technologies compatible with other ARC technologies?
|
When employed as the base fluid for ARC Aphron and Micro-solution
technologies the synergistic benefits realized for your drilling,
completion and workover operations establish a new benchmark
for the industry relevant to maximizing reservoir potential,
optimizing well site operations and meeting your environmental
and safety standards.
