    INTRODUCTIONTO COMPLETION FLUIDS

    With the recent proliferation of horizontalwellbores and open-hole completions, many

    drilling and completion engineers now considerthe completion operation to begin as soon asthe drill bit enters the productive interval.Therefore, it is necessary to plan proceduresand implement practices to reduce formationdamage and maximize productivity at theearliest possible stage. Proper selection andapplication of the completion fluid is an inte-gral part of this process.

    Completion fluid can be defined as any fluidpumped downhole to conduct operations afterthe initial drilling of a well. Workover fluids arethose used during remedial operations after a

    well has been completed and produced oil and/or gas. Clear, solids-free brine completion/workover fluids serve to control downhole for-mation pressures while reducing the risk of permanent formation damage (permeabilitydamage) resulting from solids invasion or some

    form of incompatibility between the comple-tion fluid and the in situ matrix. The clear brinesused for completion and workover applicationsare pure solutions of dissolved salt in water andmust be stable at surface and downhole con-ditions. Depending on the application, othercompletion/workover fluid types are some-times used, including solids-laden, oil-baseand emulsions. For the purpose of this docu-ment, no distinction is made between comple-tion and workover fluids and the terms are usedinterchangeably throughout. Packer fluids arethose that fill the annular volume above a pro-

    duction packer. The term reservoir drill-in fluid

    designed to minimize damage to the interval,typically by eliminating insoluble solids such as

    barite, minimizing the total solids content andformulating such that a thin, resilient, remov-able, non-damaging filter cake is placed.

    Among the typical operations in whichclear brines are applied are well kills, fishing,perforating, washing, drilling and gravel pack-ing and as packer fluids. In order to perform thedesired function, completion fluids must con-trol formation pressures, circulate and trans-port solids, protect the productive zone, bestable under surface and downhole conditions,be safely handled, be environmentally friendlyor used with controlled exposure, and be cost

    effective. Completion fluids have no purposewithin the formation and may in fact reducethe permeability. The operator has two choices:1) minimize fluid losses to the formation and2) use a formation-compatible fluid and acceptpartial losses.

    Clear brine completion fluids are formulatedand applied in the field according to perform-ance specifications that ensure well controlwith minimal permeability reduction. Thesespecifications are not always expressly iden-tified but should always be understood andassigned. Density and solids content (expressedas clarity — NTU) are typical performancespecifications for clear brine, although selec-tion of a particular completion fluid accordingto these alone can be dangerous to the produc-tivity of a well. Proper density is necessary forpressure control.

    Density and BlendingThe density of clear brine is obtained by dis-

    solving salt in water. The density achieved isdirectly related to the amount of salt in solu-tion. Table 2 shows the maximum solubilityof standard completion-fluid salts in water atroom temperature.

    The data in Table 2 demonstrates that thesolubility of these salts in water is extremelyhigh, capable of producing densities up to21 lb/gal (2.52 SG). It is also evident that as the

    solubility increases, the ratio of salt-to-water

    becomes increasingly small. In fact, the satu-rated solutions of several of these systems

    contain more salt than water. This fact isextremely important. It defines much of the“special chemistry” and properties of high-density completion fluids.

    Commercial completion brines are oftenprepared with a combination of dry salts andliquid “stock fluids.” Some salts such as NaCland KCl are produced as dry material, i.e., theyare mined or formed through simple evapora-tion. Other brines like sodium bromide, potas-sium formate, calcium chloride and calciumbromide are manufactured as liquids. The drysalts are obtained only after processing the

    liquid. This process is energy consumptive andexpensive, so, solutions prepared with thesesalts are generally more expensive than theirall-liquid-blended counterparts. Zinc bromideis produced only in the liquid form. Table 3 listscommercially available “stock” fluids and dry

    salts. Comparing Tables 2 and 3 indicates thestock fluids are not produced as saturated solu-tions. In this way, the crystallization temper-ature is low enough as to allow storage inunheated tanks.

    Crystallization Temperature (TCT)As salt is dissolved in water, it lowers the freez-

    ing point of the solution until the eutecticpoint is reached. The eutectic temperaturerepresents the lowest temperature on thesaltwater phase diagram. Increasing the saltconcentration beyond the eutectic raises thecrystallization point. The concentration at

    which the solution is saturated is a function of its temperature. As shown in Table 2, calciumchloride is soluble in water to a final concen-tration of 40-wt % at room temperature. Thissolution is referred to as “saturated at roomtemperature.” If the solution is cooled, salt willprecipitate from solution. If the solution is

    heated, additional salt can be dissolved. Thattemperature, at which a salt is saturated, iscalled the True Crystallization Temperature(TCT). There are many instances where thecrystallization temperature of brine is aprimary selection criterion. For example, when

    stored in cold weather or when used offshorewhere the seawater may be cold, the temper-ature at which a salt solution crystallizes (TCT)is an important consideration. Figures 2 and3 show crystallization curves for variouscompletion fluids. Pressure increases the crys-

    tallization point of a brine solution when theconcentration of salt is above the eutectic con-centration. See section 5 for a discussion of theeffect of pressure on TCT.

    Calcium ChlorideCalcium chloride is available either as a con-centrated solution or as a dry powder. The solu-tion is manufactured at two different densitiesdepending on the source, i.e., 11.6 lb/gal (1.392 SG)and 11.3 lb/gal (1.356 SG). Liquid calcium chlo-ride is the most economical form. The anhy-drous (94 to 97%) form of CaCl2 is used at the

    rigsite to adjust fluid density.The dry form of calcium chloride contains

    trace amounts of insoluble contaminants thatcause brines mixed on location to be more tur-bid than premixed brines. These contaminantsshould be filtered out of solution before use.

    With addition of dry calcium chloride tofreshwater, a great deal of heat is generated.Adding the solid calcium chloride too rapidlycan result in enough heat to bring the temper-ature of the solution to over 200° F (93.3° C).Safe handling must be exercised to avoid beingburned by the hot liquid or equipment.

    Less heat is produced when the concen-trated solution is diluted to prepare the desireddensity. As a result, problems related to heat aregenerally not encountered.

    Personnel protective equipment must beused when mixing brines with dry calcium

    chloride. This material will generate dust that ishygroscopic and will also generate heat as itabsorbs moisture from the atmosphere or fromskin. Exposure to this dust must be avoided.

    Formation waters or seawater should notbe used to prepare calcium chloride completion

    fluids because sodium chloride and/or insolublecalcium salts may precipitate

    Calcium BromideCalcium Bromide (CaBr2) brine systems aresingle-salt solutions used to form clear-brineworkover and completion fluids with densitiesranging from 8.4 to 15.3 lb/gal (1.404 to 1.812 SG).The desired density is obtained by mixing stan-dard 14.2 lb/gal (1.704 SG) calcium bromide brinewith dry calcium bromide (or water) or by simply

    mixing dry calcium bromide in water. Calciumbromide systems exhibit lower crystallizationpoints than the corresponding calcium bromide/calcium chloride fluids.

    Calcium bromide systems provide inhibition,preventing the hydration and migration of 

    swelling clays, and can be used for packer fluidsor to adjust the density of other brine systems.

    Calcium bromide brine systems can be formu-lated with various crystallization points and areavailable for special applications and winter use.

    Calcium Chloride and Calcium BromideClear brines having a density range of 11.7 lb/gal(1.404 SG) and 15.1 lb/gal (1.813 SG) are preparedusing a combination of calcium chloride andcalcium bromide. Liquid CaCl2, pelletized calciumchloride, concentrated liquid CaBr2, or solid cal-cium bromide powder are used in combination

    to prepare these brines. CaBr2 concentrate isproduced at a density of 14.2 lb/gal (1.705 SG).

    Calcium bromide costs approximately tentimes as much as calcium chloride. When TCTand density requirements allow, field-preparedbrines should contain as much calcium chloride

    as is practical.

    DIVALENTBRINES

    Increasing the density of a CaCl2-CaBr2blended brine by adding dry salts can cause

    wellsite problems unless proper blending tech-niques are employed. For example, the additionof calcium bromide powder to a saturated blendcan result in the precipitation of calcium chlo-ride. Under these conditions, both water andcalcium bromide must be added to avoid precip-itation. An example of this is provided at theend of this section.

    High-density, solids-free brines ranging upto 15.3 lb/gal (1.837 SG) can be prepared usingeither calcium bromide or the combination of calcium bromide and calcium chloride. The ratioof bromide-to-chloride in any particular density

    determines the True Crystallization Temperature(TCT), or “freezing point.” Crystallization tem-perature must always be considered whenblending brines of any type, however, thechloride-bromide brines are particularly sensi-tive because small changes in the ratio of the

    two salts can result in significant changes inTCT. Environmental factors such as surface tem-perature, water depth and water temperatureand the influence of pressure on the crystal-lization point are important considerations andmust be taken into account when formulatingthe appropriate blend.

    High-density slugs are used to ensure thata dry string is pulled when coming out of thehole. This is an important safety considerationsince calcium bromide brines can be irritatingto the skin and eyes.

    When solid calcium bromide is added to

    freshwater, considerable heat is released. Care

    calcium chloride, this is not a problem whenliquid calcium bromide is added to water

    because very little heat is generated.

    Calcium Chloride, Calcium Bromideand Zinc BromideConcentrated zinc bromide-calcium bromidesolutions are manufactured to a density of 

    19.2 lb/gal (2.305 SG). Solution densitiesbetween ±14.0 to 19.2 lb/gal (1.681 to 2.305 SG)are prepared by blending this 19.2 lb/gal(2.305 SG) “stock” fluid with lower densitycalcium bromide or calcium bromide-calciumchloride brines. The three-salt formulations areless expensive due to the presence of calciumchloride. As with the lower density chloride-bromide brines, special blend formulationsare used to achieve a specific density and TCT.

    Zinc bromide or zinc bromide-calcium bro-mide solutions of up to 20.5 lb/gal (2.46 SG) arealso available in smaller quantities for slugging

    or spiking purposes. When agitated in pitswhich are exposed to the atmosphere for as lit-tle as 4 hrs, the density of these concentratedliquids can decrease by as much as 0.02 lb/gal(2.397 kg/m3). A calm solution does not pick upmoisture as readily and will not lose density as

    quickly. To prevent absorption of moisture fromthe atmosphere, these high-density brinesshould be mixed and stored in covered tanks.

    MONOVALENT BRINES

    Sodium Chloride (Dry)Sodium Chloride (dry) is a high-purity salt usedin brines with a density range between 8.4 to10.0 lb/gal (1.008 to 1.200 SG). When mixedwith NaBr, densities up to 12.5 lb/gal (1.501 SG)can be achieved. It is packaged in 100-lb (45.4-kg),80-lb (36.3-kg), 110-lb (50-kg) sacks and 2,000-lb(909-kg) tote bags.

    Potassium Chloride (Dry)Potassium Chloride (dry) is a high-purity saltthat can achieve brine densities from 8.4 lb/gal(1.008 SG) to 9.7 lb/gal (1.164 SG). It is packagedin 50-lb (22.7-kg), 100-lb (45.4-kg) sacks and

    2,000-lb (909-kg) tote bags.

    Ammonium Chloride (Dry)Ammonium Chloride (dry) is a high-purity saltthat can generate brine densities from 8.4 to9.7 lb/gal (1.008 to 1.164 SG). It is also used at 2

    to 4% as a clay and shale stabilizer. It may liber-ate ammonia gas at pHs above 9.0. Ammoniumchloride (dry) is packaged in 50-lb (22.7-kg) and55-lb (25-kg) sacks.

    Sodium Bromide (Liquid)Sodium Bromide (liquid) is a single-salt clearbrine fluid. Pure sodium bromide solutions canbe prepared with densities between 8.4 lb/gal(1.008 SG) and 12.8 lb/gal (1.537 SG). Typically,it can be mixed with NaCl to prepare brineswith densities between 10.0 and 12.5 lb/gal(1.200 and 1.501 SG). It is used where formation

    waters contain high concentrations of bicar-b lf b f l d f

    bulk-liquid quantities.

    Sodium Bromide (Dry)Sodium Bromide (dry) is a high-purity salt.Pure sodium bromide solutions can be preparedwith densities between 8.4 lb/gal (1.008 SG) and

    12.8 lb/gal (1.537 SG). Typically, it can be mixedwith NaCl to prepare brines with densitiesbetween 8.4 and 12.5 lb/gal (1.008 and 1.501 SG).It is used where formation waters contain highconcentrations of bicarbonate or sulfate ionsand is packaged in 55-lb (25-kg) sacks.

    Sodium Formate (Dry)Sodium formate (dry) is a high-purity, organicsalt that can deliver brine fluid densities rang-ing from 8.4 lb/gal (1.008 SG) to 11.1 lb/gal(1.330 SG). It is packaged in 55-lb (25-kg) sacksand 2,205-lb (1,000-kg) “big” bags.

    Potassium Formate (Liquid)Potassium Formate (liquid) is a single-saltclear brine fluid. Pure potassium formate solu-tions can be prepared with densities between8.4 lb/gal (1.08 SG) and 13.1 lb/gal (1.571 SG).

    Potassium formate provides excellent thermalstabilization effects on natural polymers. Thepotassium ion provides excellent clay stabili-zation and swelling inhibition of shales.
