Delivers multiyear flow assurance in offshore wells
What is Sorb Ultra?
Sorb Ultra is a chemical-infused proppant that can address your need for multiyear, offshore reservoir flow assurance. The newest addition to our field-proven Sorb product line, Sorb Ultra is designed for offshore applications and can withstand high closure pressures for deepwater wells. It is added during stimulation to mitigate or eliminate the need for an expensive and potentially damaging intervention due to scale, paraffin, bacteria, or asphaltene deposition.
How it works
High-strength Sorb Ultra particles are engineered to serve as a conventional, medium-strength proppant but with an added benefit – the ability to provide long-term flow assurance. Delivered as part of an integrated StimPlus™ service combining stimulation services and flow assurance chemistry, the Sorb Ultra materials are placed in the near-wellbore environment and reservoir as part of the proppant pack and the chemicals are only released when needed.
Why apply Sorb Ultra?
Think about it. You can delay or prevent costly production interruptions. You can provide inhibition in the reservoir for scale, paraffin and asphaltene. You can achieve long-term, multiyear inhibition. And, you can simplify the transition into production chemistry programs. In short, Sorb Ultra delays, reduces, and/or eliminates the need for subsequent costly well interventions – improving your well’s economics.

ScaleSorb Ultra Solid Scale Inhibitors
The Baker Hughes ScaleSorb™ Ultra solid scale inhibitors are high-strength controlled-release additives that slowly desorb from the proppant pack to provide immediate and long-term protection against scale deposition. ScaleSorb Ultra treatments minimize the risk of lost production and can signifcantly delay expensive interventions in deepwater and ultra-deepwater wells.
Like the Baker Hughes Sorb™ products, the Sorb™ Ultra family of products delivers multiyear inhibition. Unlike Sorb products, Sorb Ultra products withstand high closure pressures.
The Baker Hughes Sorb Ultra family of solid specialty chemicals safely and effciently inhibits downhole deposition or tubular damage with slow-releasing and long-lasting chemicals that are adsorbed onto a solid substrate that is specially engineered for high-pressure deepwater environments and then pumped deep into the formation.
The amount of Sorb Ultra material added to the proppant is based on crush and conductivity tests done in preparation for the job, and on the desired life of the treatment. When the well begins to produce, the scale inhibitor slowly desorbs into the water phase of the production, inhibiting scale deposition in the near-wellbore area and tubing. Because the product is dry and inert, it will not contribute to chemical runoff if spilled. This is environmentally preferable to conventional liquid additives or batch- and continuous-injection liquid chemical systems.
ScaleSorb Ultra inhibitor is a Baker Hughes StimPlus™ services product and is compatible for use with common stimulation fluids. StimPlus products are added to the stimulation fluid and placed deep into the formation, where they can prevent deposition and costly production problems. Our service includes pre-stimulation system analysis, stimulation fluid compatibility, coordination with pressure pumping services, and post-frac monitoring services to minimize flow assurance issues and protect wellbore assets.
