Description
Technical Parameters
Applications/Functions
- Increases low-shear rate rheology in oil-based drilling fluids without increasing plastic viscosity
- Especially used in extended-reach, horizontal, and highly deviated wells to reduce barite sag
- Provides secondary emulsification in oil-based fluids
Advantages
- Stable at temperatures above 400°F
- Enhances 3 rpm and 6 rpm readings of oil-based drilling fluids without increasing plastic viscosity
- Reduces the need for organoclay, optimizing rheological profile and hole-cleaning capacity
- Effective at low concentrations
- Usable in all oil-based drilling fluids
Typical Properties
- Appearance: Dark brown viscous liquid
- Specific Gravity: 0.95
Recommended Treatment
- Typical range: 0.5-2 ppb
- A pilot test is recommended to determine the actual treatment required to achieve the desired results
