KCl Substitute or Potassium Chloride Substitute:
In general, most of all petroleum reservoirs contain clay/shale minerals and it is of importance to protect the water sensitive clays from becoming a damaging threat to permeability via swelling or migration. These clays are trapped into the reservoir matrix and when exposed to water. To a treatment fluid without protection swelling (plugging pores) and migrating-dispersing throughout the reservoir happens, resulting in production loss.
KCl-Sub-64™ is an excellent KCl Substitute that works as a Clay Stabilizer by inhibiting clay swellings and mitigation. It performance is guaranteed by exemplary results in Capillary Suction Tests and Roller Oven Testing.
KCL-SUB-64™ is a liquid product designed specifically for use as a replacement for solid potassium chloride (KCl). KCL-SUB-64™ offers superior performance at a lower cost — without the handling, mixing and disposal problems associated with bag KCl. Because KCL-SUB-64™ is non-surface active, it does not effect wet-ability, create foaming problems, or cause emulsions. KCL-SUB-64™ is compatible with all known water based frac fluids, crosslinkers and breakers. It does not adversely affect fluid pH. The use of KCL-SUB-64™ on the fly can eliminate premixing and leftover saltwater disposal problems.
