Lost Circulation

PBS-ACC

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PBS-ACC is a salt/magnesium compound that serves as a crosslink catalyst when mixed with PBS Plug. Also, calcium chloride may be used as a secondary accelerator in cold-water applications, or to increase rigidity of the plug. The polymers in the base product add viscosity and filtration control and are cross-linked by the borate anion in the sparingly water-soluble borate salts. The catalysts initiate the crosslink reaction by raising the pH and salinity of the freshwater mixture. This reaction is accelerated by the normally higher temperature in the wellbore.
