Filtration Unit:

Filtration technology centers on the need to remove undesirable solids from fluids. Concerns about formation damage and its impact on well productivity, provide the basis for improving filtration technology. Researchers and experience have shown that filtration prevents much of this formation damage.

The main concern in the area of filtration of completion and work-over fluids is the size and quantity of particles. Since these particles are not uniformly sized, various methods of removal must be used.

Filtration Unit is capable of handling all clear fluids that are used down hole. This way only one service company is required for fluid and its cleanliness. The result is fewer personnel and lower labor charges. Furthermore, this equipment can be reduced the amount of time it takes for a given filtration job, which results in decreased rig time and reduced rig costs.

BENEFITS OF FILTRATION
The purpose of filtering any fluid is to prevent the down hole contamination of the formation. Contamination reduces production and shortens the productive life of the well. Contamination can occur during perforating, fracturing, acidizing, work-over, water- flooding, and gravel packing as well. Any time fluid is put into the well bore with a solid content, no matter how slight; there is a chance of damaging the well. A fluid contaminant can come in many sizes and forms. Drilling operations produce cuttings, rust, scale, pipe dope, paraffin, non-dissolved polymer, and other material on the casing or pipe string. All these materials contribute to the amount of solids in the fluid.
