Shale Inhibitors

Baraflc 903 is a sulfonated asphalt used in both water-based and oil-based fluids. It helps form a thin, tough filter cake where small hydrophobic particles effectively bridge micro-fractures. This action prevents shale hydration and

As a versatile High Cloud Point Polyglycol, it functions effectively across a wide range of electrolyte concentrations (up to 150,000 ppm chloride) and delivers consistent performance in demanding high-temperature drilling applications.

BY-1 Shield is a surfactant-treated polymer nanoemulsion engineered as a high-performance Nano Shale Inhibitor.

Since the 1980s, this effective clay swelling inhibition Soltex technology has proven its reliability in global drilling operations, offering consistent performance where conventional asphalt products fail due to their inherent softening

The additive demonstrates excellent compatibility with various water-based drilling fluid systems, including non-dispersed polymer systems and inhibitive salt formulations, making it a versatile solution for diverse drilling challenges.

Its unique composition ensures compatibility with water-based systems while providing robust performance in complex formations, including hard brittle shales and inorganic salt layers.

The system incorporates a polymer coating agent that enhances wellbore strengthening through the formation of a thin, flexible membrane on formation surfaces. This coating technology works in concert with the shale stabilizer to provide

•Minimizes mud costs as it is effective at low concentration and widely available.. •Has a resistance against ions and is effective over a wide PH range.. •Has an affinity for clay surfaces and will restrict their hydration and

• Improve wellbore stability• Improve lubricity• Improve high temperature filtration control• Reduce dilution rates

• Shale control • Fluid loss improvement • Torque and drag reduction • Inhibition of swelling clays in all water based muds• Shale stabilizing by controlling HTHP fluid loss

Amine-treated Lignite is the shale inhibitor used in Clay-rich reactive shale formation.
