Pipe Dope Removal Solvent

Well Flow LLCE is a complex blend of solvents selected to be effective at dissolving and dispersing pipe dope prior to well stimulations and gravel packs. Unless it is removed, the pipe dope is scoured by the gravel pack sand and fracturing fluids and could adversely affect the production of the well.

The solvent has the ability to displace the organic surfactants that hold the pipe dope together and release the oil wetted solid fillers. Independent laboratory tests have confirmed that the product works efficiently and quickly on a wide range of pipe dopes and is even more efficient than conventional products such as xylene, according to the company.

The product is used in oil-based mud displacements whether they are formulated with mineral oils or the new generation of pseudo oils such as esters, ethers, and poly alfa olefins. The solvent removes the very persistent viscous sludge, which is formed when residual oil-based mud is contacted with water. The solvent is designed to be environmentally acceptable so that it is safe to use and dispose of. It contains no aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons, is classed as non-flammable and is biodegradable.
