DESI SEAL

MCT-1000™ FINE

( Mud Circulation Treatment - Fine Grade Cellulose Material )   

DESI SEAL MCT-1000™ FINE ( Mud Circulation Treatment ) is a uniquely formulated product designed to seal permeable formations of all types, in water, oil and brine water.  Formulated from a combination of available cellulose fibers.  MCT 1000™ encompasses a wide range of particle sizes and shapes.  In order to increase the flexibility of MCT 1000™ both fibrous and granular cellulose materials are incorporated.  All components in MCT 1000™ are compressible and deformable allowing them to confirm to the shape of pore spaces and fractures. MCT 1000™ will form a seal near well-bore, minimizing fluid invasion an proportionately reduce cake build-up.  A combination of MCT 1000™ and MCT-500™ can handle problems from differential sticking to lost circulation MCT 1000™ is most effective when used alone or with Gilsonite material.  

BENEFITS:

Minimizes differential sticking; seals micro-fractures; can help prevent loss circulation or heal it; minimal rheological effect on fluids; compatible with water, oil or brine fluids; minimizes formation damage from fluid invasion; easily removed from productive formations; thermally stable; environmentally safe and non-toxic; non-damaging to MWD tools.

GENERAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES: 

Seepage Loss:

Mix MCT 1000™ in a pill at concentration of 8-15 ppb and sweep the wellbore periodically. When chronic seepage is occurring at a system treatment of 4-8 ppb is recommended. System maintenance can be achieved by incorporating subsequent sweeps.

Lost Circulation:

Mix DESI SEAL™ through the chemical hopper in a pill containing 60% MCT 500™ and 40% MCT 1000™. Fluid density will determine the total concentration that can be mixed. Total concentrations of 25-65 ppb are common.  After circulation is regained a MCT 1000™ / MCT 500™ sweeping program is recommended to maintain the integrity of the seal during the drilling operations. 

Differential Sticking Prevention:

Prior to drilling depleted zone add 2-4 ppb MCT 1000™ to the system.  Mix a pill containing 8-15 ppb MCT 1000™ and 8-15 ppb Gilsonite material.  Sweep the hole as new sands are drilled and every 4-6 hours depending on hole conditions.  Sweep the hole prior to tripping, logging, or running casing. 

Brine Fluid Pills:

Vicosity fluid with polymer to +/- 40 sec./qt. Add 15-25 ppb MCT 1000™ through chemical hopper. Spot pill across area to be perforated or point at which hole is taking fluid.  MCT 1000™will minimize fluid invasion into the formation.  MCT 1000™ is easily removed from formations during production and will biodegrade naturally.
