Control emulsion formation in brines and reservoir drill-in fluids

M-I SWACO provides uniquely engineered nonemulsifiers, which are used to prevent the formation of a stable emulsion between clear-brine completion fluids and reservoir crude oil.

Our nonemulsifier line includes concentrated blends of surfactants and solvents that facilitate full reclamation of the completion brine.
