Using USF04 can offer significant project savings in many instances by negating the need to flush umbilical lines when using SURF Chemicals.

Product Overview

ENVIROSOL USF 04 is an environmental oil based umbilical storage fluid offering maximum mixed fluid stability towards wellbore chemicals in aggressive HPHT (and less demanding) environments.

ENVIROSOL USF04 can offer significant cost savings during umbilical commissioning due to its superior compatibility with SURF (Subsea, Umbilical, Riser, Flowline) chemicals and can negate the need for Topside or Subsea intervention for the interface requirements to First Oil or for Future Extensions.

ENVIROSOL USF04 has undergone chemical compatibility testing far beyond any previous industry standards for USF’s, including a wide range of temperatures and mix ratios and extended service related testing. Testing includes blockage flow tests and HPHT testing of mixtures to ensure stability in extreme situations and minimisation of potential issues in service.

ENVIROSOL USF 04 is designed to have the lowest viscosity profile possible for an ‘oil based’ product with the key physical properties outlined below.

ENVIROSOL USF04 is environmentally acceptable for use in OSPARCOM countries, boasting a 'Yellow' status (Norway) an OCNS Class E (UK) and meets GOM toxicity requirements.
