Chemical Water Shut-Off
Conformance Control Through Polymer-Silicate Technology
Excessive water production is one of the most significant challenges facing mature oil fields. It reduces oil production rates, increases fluid handling costs, accelerates equipment wear, and adds to produced water disposal burdens.
Biyaq's Chemical Water Shut-Off (CWSO) service addresses this challenge using a proven, field-tested Polymer-Silicate (PS) technology — a selective conformance control solution that has delivered outstanding results in Oman and internationally.
Polymer-Silicate Technology
Our PS technology forms a monolithic, sandwich-type blocking barrier within high-permeability zones, ensuring durable isolation.
Barrier Strength
High mechanical resistance capable of withstanding extreme pressure differentials.
Bar / Meter Gel Strength
Permeability
Unmatched reduction of water pathways while maintaining formation integrity.
Orders of Magnitude Reduction
Thermal Stability
Engineered for harsh downhole conditions and long-term chemical durability.
Continuous Heat Resistance
The 'Sandwich' Mechanism
Our PS technology isn't just a surface coating; it's a deep-penetrating gel system that creates a rigid structural matrix within the porous medium. This creates multiple layers of resistance that are far more effective than traditional cross-linked polymers.
The Maturity Challenge
As oil fields reach maturity, excessive water production becomes a critical bottleneck. Bypassing un-swept oil and high-permeability thief zones leads to a rapid decline in economic viability.
Escalating OPEX
Increasing energy requirements for water lifting and higher chemicals costs for treatment.
Equipment Integrity
Accelerated corrosion and scale deposition, leading to frequent workovers and downtime.
Disposal Burdens
Environmental pressure to manage and dispose of massive produced water volumes safely.
Proven Field Performance
Extensive application history in complex sandstone reservoirs across Oman and the GCC region.
