Con-Clay 39
Permanent Clay Stabilizer
Product Overview
Con-Clay 39 is a combination of amines and surfactants designed to stabilize reactive clay and shales when drilling with water-based drilling fluids or during stimulation with fluids that cause clay (formation) swelling. It is a 2x concentrate of Con-Clay 49, which prevents the swelling or migration of water-sensitive clays in injection wells and producing well formations. Con-Clay 39 is very effective at low concentrations, and can be readily added to the system without shear. Con-Clay 39 finds application in acidizing, fracturing, and aqueous pre-flush fluids.
Recommended Treatment & Application
- Con-Clay 39, being a concentrate, should be diluted in a mixture of methanol and water.
- Con-Clay 39 is normally loaded at a rate of 0.05 to 1.0% (0.5 to 10 gallons per thousand) if used neat, depending on the severity of the clayswelling tendency of the formation
- Compatibility tests should be run prior to use in crosslinked gel systems. Avoid using the product with anionic surfactants, if possible.
