ACIDIZING

HAI-OS Acid Inhibitor

Provides corrosion protection and meets environmental requirements in both standard
and weighted acid systems

HAI-OS inhibitor is an environmentally friendly acid corrosion
inhibitor applicable to a broad range of temperatures, acid
mixtures, and mixing fluids. It provides exceptional performance
in both standard and weighted acids. Weighted acids are often
required in horizontal screened sections during mud filter-cake
cleanup or for wellhead pressure control.

HAI-OS inhibitor offers several important benefits:

More environmentally acceptable.

HAL32881
Ecotested according to OSPARCOM and EPA guidelines.

Can be intensified with Halliburton's patented, environmentally

friendly HII-124B/ HII-124F intensifier combination or

HII-500M intensifier.

Applicable in certain acid systems up to 180oC (350oF)
(see Figures 1, 2, and 3).
Effective on various alloys including N-80, 13Cr, 316L and
Incoloy* 825.
Provides excellent solubility in CaCl2, CaBr2, and ZnBr2
brine-acid systems with densities ranging from 10.0 lb/gal to
16.6 lb/gal over a broad temperature range.

HII-124B/HII-124F or HII-500M intensifier was used as needed. Note
that corrosion loss was maintained well below the acceptable limit
of 05 lb/ft2 .
Required performance plus environmental friendliness
Halliburton is committed to continuous improvements in chemical
compliance. Reducing the environmental impact of chemicals has
been balanced with tough performance requirements including the
move toward HPHT operations.

For completion and stimulation operations, significant research

effort has been focused on developing and using environmentally
friendly chemicals. Acidizing operations have presented a difficult
challenge, especially in the area of acid corrosion inhibitors. It is an
almost impossible requirement that a product function in a harsh
environment such as 28% HCl acid at 150C (300F) and, at the
same time, be readily biodegradable in a marine environment.
HAI-OS inhibitor is a significant step toward meeting these
HAL32880

requirements.

HAI-OS does not contain environmentally unacceptable substances

HII- 124B/HII-124F intensifier effect on N-80 basepipe/316L wrap
screen, 24 hr. Notice that in most cases corrosion loss was less than the
acceptable maximum loss of 0.05 lb/ft2
such as ethyl octynol, naphtha, and quaternary ammonium
compounds. It has been classed in the UK as an (O)CNS Group C
chemical. For health and safety labeling, HAI-OS inhibitor should
be labeled toxic and flammable.

and 250F by adjusting the amount of HAI-OS and including HII-124B/HII-124F
inhibitor intensifier.
