Abstract:Deep and ultradeep reservoirs are commonly characterized by high temperature and high pressure (HTHP), which poses a severe challenge to well testing operations. The requirement for high-density clear brine drives the overall cost of the well testing operations. There are only a few alternative high-density (>14.5ppg) clear brines in the market that can deliver the hydrostatic pressure requirements for HTHP wells. Zinc-based brines pose health, safety and environment (HSE) concerns, and can show high ge… Show more
