A chemical substance called a “clay stabiliser” is employed in the oil and gas sector to stop clay particles in a reservoir from expanding and migrating. A chemical substance called a “clay stabiliser” is employed in the oil and gas sector to stop clay particles in a reservoir from expanding and migrating.
Clay stabilisers function by covering clay particles and decreasing their capacity to absorb water, hence avoiding swelling and migration. Clay stabilisers come in a variety of forms, including organic and inorganic chemicals, and the type of clay and reservoir conditions can affect how effective they are.
An essential component of drilling operations is the use of clay stabilisers, which can help to assure the long-term productivity and profitability of a well. To prevent any unfavourable environmental effects or safety risks, clay stabilisers must be properly chosen and applied, just like any other chemical treatment.
Global in-can stabilizer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
By the avoidance of permeability losses from swelling clays and the prevention of shale softening, Baker Hughes has introduced ClayCare, a temporary clay stabiliser that aids in preventing formation degradation in shale and sandstone reservoirs.
Low toxicity, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly describe the ClayCare stabilizer. It is compatible with almost all other slickwater and crosslinked fluid systems and can be utilised in batch or continuous mix operations where an efficient clay stabiliser is required.
Launch of a new product by ClayLOK LLC. A brand-new item called ClayLOK has been made available; it uses ionic clay stabilisation technology to make clay harder so that it may be used as the foundation for roads. Yet it’s not obvious whether this item relates to the oil and gas sector or if it’s meant for other applications.
This stabiliser can be used to stabilise clay permanently and work well as a temporary stabiliser of clay during fracturing. TETRA Technologies Inc. and other businesses provide clay stabilisers that are intended to shield formations from reactive clays that induce swelling.
