K-34™ Breaker


K-34 breaker is a powdered solid that is used as a breaker for the Compatibility

My-T-Oil IV fracturing fluid. K-34 breaker can also be used as a K-34 breaker is not compatible with acidic chemicals and especially
near-neutral pH buffering agent for aqueous treatment fluids such with strong acid. Contact of K-34 breaker with acids will result in
as fracturing fluids and gravel pack fluids. the evolution of CO2 gas and a loss of pH buffering capacity.

Applications Benefits
K-34 breaker can be used as a breaker for My-T-Oil IV fracturing K-34 buffering agent can provide the following benefits:
fluid up to a temperature of 250°F (121°C). A typical K-34 breaker
• Effective breaker for My-T-Oil IV fracturing fluid
concentration would vary between 20 and 50 lb/Mgal when used
for this application. • When used with My-T-Oil IV fracturing fluid, K-34 breaker
helps provide fluid loss control
When used as a buffering agent for aqueous treatment fluids, a pH
of between 7 and 8 can be achieved when using a typical • Can be used as a pH buffer for aqueous treatment fluids where a
concentration of 10 to 20 lb/Mgal of this additive. When used with 7 to 8 pH is required
®
the AquaLinear gravel pack service, a concentration of up to 50
lb/Mgal may be used to maintain the fluid pH at a near-neutral
level during the break of the fluid.

Features
When used with My-T-Oil IV fracturing fluid, K-34 breaker can
reduce fluid viscosity rapidly; therefore, operators should conduct
pilot break tests before beginning any job.
