Wettability Alternator

SS-7593 Wettability Alteration Agent

Oil Chem’s SS-7593 is a wettability alteration agent / interfacial tension reducer that can be used at ultra low concentration and effectively alters  the wettability of oil wet reservoir rocks and reduces the interfacial tension to increase the oil recovery.  SS-7593 can be used:

  • In hydraulic fracturing fluid
  • In low surfactant water flooding
  • As injectivity enhancer for low permeability reservoir
  • In many other applications where surfactants  are added to increase oil recovery

SS-7593 Typical Properties
Appearance  ……………………… Clear to slight hazy amber liquid
pH, 5% in 3:1 IPA: Water ……….  7.0 – 9.0
Specific Gravity, 25 °C ……………1.02 typical

Suggested Usage:
1.0 gal – 2.0 gal/1000 gallon of the injection fluid.
The compatibility of the SS-7593 with other additives used in the job should be determined prior to the applications
