Aphronizer B
Aphronizer
B is
a is a co-associating polymer for enhancing the
shells structure of aphrons used in APHRON ICS™
waterbase fluid technologies. When used in conjunction
with Aphronizer
A and
Plastisizer the resultant aphrons show
significant resistance to compression as well as
improved sealing performance when compared to our
first generation aphrons built with Blue
Streak alone.

Applications
Initial treatment of APHRON ICS™
waterbase fluid technologies with Aphronizer
B is typically with 0.5 pounds per barrel.
Once the system has stabilized additional Aphronizer
B should be added at a 1.0 : 0.5 pounds
per barrel ratio (Blue
Streak to Aphronizer
B) until a 12 - 14 % by volume aphron
concentration is achieved in the circulating system.
Advantages
Enhanced APHRON ICS™ waterbase fluid sealing performance No negative effect on the APHRON ICS™ waterbase fluid rheology performance (LSRV) Sealing by the "Jamin effect""Micro-environment"
sealing
No or very low solids content fluids
Minimally invasive fluids
Improved Loss Circulation Control
No differential sticking
Quality cement bonds
-
Optimized well construction costs
