Applications
ln fracturing treatments, activated Petro-FLO is typically added on-the-fly at the frac tanks or into the blender. Onsite water testing is performed to determine the optimal dosage required to treat the particular source water being used.
As an alternative, the source water may be batch treated in frac tanks or pits. All water should be treated with Petro-FLO, including pump down and drill-out water, to ensure complete dispersal throughout the well system.
Key Features
- Rapid, sustained, low-dose efficacy against oil well bacteria and slime
- Oxyohloro residual acts as bacteriostat against biofilm forming bacteria
- Residual efficacy can be custom engineered for the application
- Recommended for on-the-fly, tank side, or storage pit treatment
- Compatible with friction reducers and guar gels
- Selective oxidation of H2S and FeS
- Improves the condition of produced and flowback water for re-use
- Effective over a broad pH range (1 -10)
- Stable formula with long shelf life
- Breaks down to table salt
Petro-FLO is Effective Against Slime in Oil Wells
Frac water transfer lines, tanks, pits, pumps and fracturing equipment can all be heavily contaminated with large colonies of biofilm-forming bacteria. Inadequate control of these organisms may be the leading cause of well contamination incidents where wells have been treated with insufficient doses of common biocides. Using Petro-FLO, the slime structure is oxidized and dissolved, and the exposed bacteria are then much easier to control. After the slime and bacteria have been eliminated, Petro-FLO provides a level of residual activity that helps to protect against re-growth.
