CAT technology was commercialized in 2013 successfully and has been applied in various oil and gas fields in the world. It has been proved to be effective in treatment of carbonate reservoirs with the following conditions:

Further information about field applications is described in documented “Case History of CAT Technology”.

Typical rheological properties of CAT fluids are shown in the following Figures.

                

Viscoelastic acid diverter (KMA007, KMA007A and KMA007B) in CAT systems play the most important roles in carbonate treatment effectiveness. In addition, corrosion inhibitor (KMA034A) and inhibitor aid (KMA030 and KMA031) is generally used in CAT systems to protect the tubing from corrosion. The iron reducing agent (KMA003) and iron stabilizer (KMA003B and KMA033) are generally used in CAT systems to prevent the iron precipitation in the formation. H₂S scavenger (KMA009) and H₂S scavenger Aid (KMA009B) are compatible with other additives in CAT systems.

The laboratory procedures, quality assurance program and guidelines for field mixing and handling of CAT systems are described in CAT fluid manual.
