Product Overview

BJ Sandstone Acid Systems

The BJ Sandstone Acid (BJ SSA) systems are proprietary hydrofluoric (HF) generating
systems designed for stimulation of sandstone formations. BJ SSA systems are low total
acidity and high-dissolving power solutions to remove fines damage and stimulate
flow paths beyond the near-wellbore formation region. Baker Hughes acid systems are Applications
specially designed to control HF acid generation in situ and subsequent acid spending; Production and injection wells
thereby, providing deeper effective treatment compared to conventional HF mud acid completed in sandstone formations
and so-called retarded acid treatment solutions.
