Filter Cake Breaker
Filter cake breaker
A filter cake breaker removes the filter cake left on the reservoir face during drilling, so that the well can flow cleanly. Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd supplies 2 products in this category: an enzyme and a liquid acid precursor.
Two ways of removing the cake
The product named Filter Cake Breaker is an enzyme that digests water-based mud filter cake. GS Break FG is a liquid acid precursor, which releases acid slowly and evenly to dissolve the cake. Slow release is the point, as it gives the treatment time to spread along the interval rather than acting only where it first arrives.
Working with the drill-in fluid
The breaker has to suit what the cake is made of, so it is best chosen alongside the drill-in fluid and its bridging agent, such as the acid-soluble calcium carbonate listed under LCM.
