Workover Fluids Filtration
Application
KD International provides a complete range of filtration solutions to ensure solids-free workover and completion fluids. Water-based fluids used in onshore and offshore rigs primarily consist of clear brines. However, these brines often contain suspended materials such as weighting agents, drill solids, perforating debris, sand, scale, and rust. Proper filtration is essential to maintain fluid clarity and prevent formation damage.
Problem
During completion and workover operations, wellbore fluids must minimize formation damage and preserve near-wellbore permeability. A wide range of completion and workover fluids are used, but all can introduce solids into the formation, leading to:
- Permeability Reduction – Solids pushed into the formation block fluid flow
- Formation Damage – Circulating fluids carrying contaminants impair well performance
- High Fluid Costs – Expensive high-density brines require efficient management
- Operational Inefficiencies – Large fluid losses increase overall completion costs
Even relatively clean fluids can cause rapid permeability loss, impacting production rates and well efficiency.
Solution
KD International offers high-performance filtration solutions to clarify and filter workover and completion fluids, minimizing formation damage and optimizing well productivity. Our advanced filtration systems remove fine solids and contaminants while ensuring cost-effective fluid management. Our filtration portfolio includes:
- Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters (VPLF) – Reduced footprint units for offshore applications
- Dual-Pod Cartridge Units – Ensuring continuous filtration with changeover capability
- Hydrocyclone Skids – Effective separation of heavier solids from fluids
- High-Capacity Brine Filtration Systems – Designed for cost-effective high-density brine management
- Self-Cleaning Filtration Systems – Automated solutions to maintain flow efficiency
With KD International’s tailored filtration solutions, operators achieve cleaner workover fluids, improved well performance, reduced formation damage, and lower overall operational costs.
