Abstract
The present invention relates to an autonomous chemical treatment system and method for drilling and completion probes, so that it allows the probe to carry out chemical treatments in subsea wells, dispensing the need to use the WSSV, which has a limited treatment capacity due to tank volumetry, generally smaller than the marine probes.
Claims1
An autonomous chemical treatment method for making a completion fluid, the method comprising:
- adding a fluid comprising seawater and industrial water to a fluid supply tank in a chemical treatment system;
- adjusting a pH of the fluid in the fluid supply tank by slowly adding a caustic soda solution until the pH reaches 8-9;
- filtering the fluid in an absolute filtration unit comprising 2 micrometer cartridges;
- adding 0.053% v/v of glutaraldehyde 40% 3 hours before a scheduled pumping time;
- and
- adding, one or more liquid products immediately prior to the scheduled time for pumping, the one or more liquid products comprising 0.045% v/v of sodium bisulfite 40%, 3.5% potassium chloride, sodium chloride, 0.20% v/v of emulsion preventer, and 10% v/v of scale inhibitor, to prevent premature decomposition of these products.
