Description:

A water-based hydraulic control fluid specifically formulated for use as the control medium in subsea production control systems. The fluid incorporates all the features required for operation throughout the control system including Sub Surface Safety Valves (SSSV) and intelligent well completions.

Advantages:

• Tested according to OSPAR requirements. Rigorous environmental testing has also been completed in many geographies worldwide.
• Contains a fluorescent leak tracer to allow rapid detection of subsea leaks either visually or using a dedicated ROV mountable leak detection sensor.
• Maintains corrosion performance with seawater contamination.
• Tolerant of the high well temperatures encountered by those parts of the control system located at the well bore.
• Fully compatible and miscible in all proportions with other products in the Castrol Transaqua range and most other water-based subsea control fluids.
• Compatible with a wide range of materials commonly used in subsea control systems (see Tables 3 & 4). More detailed compatibility information is available on request.
