Description
Technical Parameters
Applications/Functions
- Builds viscosity and yield points for all oil-based fluids at low temperatures
- Conditions mud before storage or transportation
- Increases suspending properties of packer fluids
- Prepares spotting fluids to free stuck pipe
Advantages
- Temperature stable up to 400°F
- Disperses easily in less time with less shear
- Yields at temperatures as low as 35°F, where conventional organoclay can be ineffective
- Cost-effectively builds viscosity and yield points
Typical Properties
- Appearance: Light tan, free-flowing powder
- Specific gravity: 1.7
Recommended Treatment
- Add 2-10 ppb in mineral oil-based drilling fluids slowly through the mixing hopper
