A mutual solvent refers to substances that dissolve in both water and oil phases. This product plays a crucial role in general processes due to its unique wettability feature when interacting with formation fluids. Its applications include:
- Cleaning residual materials, especially anti-corrosion substances, from the well’s surface.
- Removing oil from the formation surface during the pre-wash process.
- Extracting water from the formation surface during the after-wash process.
