Musol E Mutual Solvent


Musol E mutual solvent is used for matrix-acidizing
Benefits
Because Musol E mutual solvent helps reduce surfactant adsorption onto the formation, it can provide the following benefits: It helps ensure that treating fluids remain compatible in the formation. It helps clean the formation and reduces water saturation around the wellbore, increasing the relative permeability of the formation adjacent to the wellbore. When used with anionic or nonionic surfactants, Musol E mutual solvent helps water-wet sandstone formations. It also helps reduce the oil-wetting effects of cationic surfactants. It helps reduce corrosion from return fluids. Musol E mutual solvent helps disperse acid additives and slows the separation in the tank, providing more uniform treating fluids and improving the ability of the acid solution to mix well.

operations in sandstone formations. It can also be used as a preflush or afterflush for HF acid treatments. Unlike other mutual solvents, Musol E mutual solvent does not contain ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGMBE) or a mixture of EGMBE and ethoxylated alcohol.

Applications
Musol E mutual solvent is effective at all bottomhole temperatures (BHTs). At temperatures below 200F (93C), normal inhibitor concentrations are sufficient for acid blends containing Musol E mutual solvent. At temperatures above 200F (93C), the necessary inhibitor concentration is 50% greater than that used in acid blends without Musol E mutual solvent.

Compatibility
Musol E mutual solvent exhibits nonemulsifying properties in some crude oils. It can be used in kerosene; diesel oil; light, clean crude oil; and aromatic solvents.
