Definitions
- crystallization suppressants to high density clear brine fluids significantly lower the true crystallization temperatures of the fluids allowing for higher salt content in the fluids and for the preparation of, e.g., higher density zinc free brines.
- Clear brine fluids are solids-free, industrial fluids widely used in operations where control of pressure in a well is needed, such as in the oil and gas industry, and play an important role in oil exploration and development of deep water wells, high-pressure and deep oil wells, oil sands, and the like.
- Clear brine fluids find use in well completion, work-over, drilling and fracturing operations, and serve a variety of functions such as a displacement fluid to remove drilling muds, as drill-in fluids, as permanent packer fluid. They inhibit undesirable formation reactions such as clay swelling and are used in preparing well equipment for production, e.g., during insertion of liners, screens, packers, and other equipment.
- Clear brine fluids can be prepared with a variety of salts, generally halide salts, at various concentrations to provide specific densities for particular applications. For example, brines with densities ranging, e.g., from 8.4 to over 22 lbs/gal (ppg), may be desired.
- Commonly used salts include chloride and bromide salts of sodium, potassium, calcium and zinc. Ammonium salts, iodine salts, and other metals have also been used. More than one salt may be present in the fluid.
- Bromide fluids e.g., sodium, potassium and calcium bromide brines
- bromide fluids are used in deepwater fracturing operations in order to provide the necessary pressure in the well to successfully fracture the geological formation area that supplies oil and gas to the wellbore allowing for higher volume flows to the production piping.
- Clear brine fluids are solids free and thus contain no particles that might plug or damage a producing well or equipment and are used over a wide temperature range.
- the amount of a particular salt in a brine fluid, and thus the density of the brine, is limited by the solubility of that salt in water. Precipitation of the salt during use must be avoided, and many salts cannot be used on their own in higher density solutions, e.g., 12 ppg or 14 ppg to 20 ppg.
- the need for high density clear brine fluids e.g., >14.2 ppg, has been met by using zinc bromide to blend up calcium bromide to higher densities.
- Zinc bromide and cesium formate brines traditionally have been used to achieve higher density in completion fluids, up to 19 ppg for high pressure applications such as kill-fluid and on-the-shelf gas wells (high temperature/high pressure).
- Zinc based fluids have environmental and economic limitations. Zinc is regulated and not environmentally friendly and requires a zero-discharge system when in use. Zinc contaminated flow-back and well-produced water has to be collected and shipped to shore for disposal or treatment and cannot, e.g., be pumped off-rig into the Gulf of Mexico. These regulations and a growing consciousness regarding the contamination of ground water has increased the interest in new clear brine fluids that are more environmentally friendly and do not require zero-discharge. A clear brine fluid is needed that can provide high densities and low crystallization temperatures without using zinc components, which fluids can be used in applications typically served with the present zinc containing fluids such as zinc/calcium bromide brines.
- One broad embodiment of the invention provides a method for reducing or lowering the true crystallization temperature of a clear brine fluid (CFB) by adding from 2 to 20 wt %, based on the combined weight of the halide salt and water, of a crystallization suppressant additive comprising an aldose or ketose having at least 4 carbon atoms, an oligosaccharide compound, an alditol having at least 3 carbon atoms, or a 1,3 dicarbonyl compound, e.g., a malonamide, having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms.

- True crystallization temperature is the temperature at which the salt begins to crystallize out from a clear brine fluid (CBF) under conditions where the crystallization temperature is determined by the salt composition, i.e., the composition and the concentration of the salt, in the fluid.
- the crystallization temperature of a CBF can be influenced by changes in pressure and other factors, but the true crystallization temperature excludes these factors and is determined only by the composition of the fluid itself. In the present disclosure, true crystallization temperatures are determined using API Protocol 13J 5th Edition, October 2014 “Testing of Heavy Brines”.

Clear brine fluid density of test samples was determined at 60° F. using an Anton PAAR Density Meter set at 60° F. and the results compared to the solution without suppressant. Density of the CaBr 2 solution without suppressant is determined at 100° F. due to the higher TCT of the suppressant free fluids.
- the assay and density of the starting CBF is lowered due to the mass amount of the crystallization suppressant added, however, much higher aqueous brine concentrations can be reached before crystallization occurs due the drastic drop in TCT.
- TCT The suppression of TCT allows increases in concentrations of calcium bromide in water to reach higher densities.
