OS WELL CLEAN II - Speciality Well Cleaning Agent
Well Bore Cleaning
It is essential once the drilling phase has been completed that the well bore is as clean as is practically possible before committing solids free completion fluids to the well and running testing and completion tools. Mechanical cleaning and scraping must always be complimented with vigorous chemical action. The combination of a solvent and surfactant is essential to maximize wellbore cleaning.

A normal procedure is to pump trains of well cleaner into the well. This is the most effective way of cleaning. An example of such a procedure may be to pump in turn viscous spacer, deoxygenated sea water and casing cleaning fluid. Typical fluid amounts are 5 – 15 m3. The process is repeated several times until turbidity values are low enough.
