DRILPLEX AR PLUS
Anionic-tolerant water-based drilling fluid system
More flexibility and options to drill unconsolidated formations with potential anionic characteristics.
DRILPLEX HDD
Viscosifier
The DRILPLEX HDD viscosifier enables the formulation of fluids with exceptional shear-thinning properties, resulting in a drilling fluid with both excellent dynamic and static carrying capacity for solids. This is indicated by high-yield-point and low-plastic-viscosity readings.
When not circulating, the mud instantly reverts to a gelled state and results in high suspending capacity indicated by high, nonprogressive gel strength readings.
Certified to NSF/ANSI 60
Advantages
- High rate of penetration
- Optimum cuttings transport
- Excellent solids suspension
- Borehole stabilization
- Low drilling costs
How to mix DRILPLEX HDD viscosifier
For 300 galUS [1,136 L] of drilling fluid mix:
- Add 1.5 sacks (75 lb [34 kg]) of MAX GEL viscosifier in freshwater and hydrate for 10 min. If higher rheological properties are desired, mix more gel. For every 7 lb [3.2 kg] of additional gel added, the yield point rises approximately 20 points.
- After the gel is hydrated, add 6 lb [2.7 kg] of DRILPLEX HDD viscosifier (3 vis cups) and mix for an additional 5 to 10 min.
- For torque reduction, add 1.5 gal [5.7 L] of PLATINUM ROD EASE lubricant.
