Applications / Functions:  

• Mechanical lubricant in water based, oil based and synthetic based mud systems
• Reduce capillary attraction (differential sticking) between drill pipe and well bore
• Create ball-bearing effect between drill pipe and casing
• Quick Mixing through the Mud Hopper
• Torque and Drag reducing agent
• ROP/Slide enhancer
• Minimizes casing wear
• Mechanically assists logging and casing operations

  Advantages:  

• Temperature stable to 450 ° F
• Chemically inert
• Insoluble in oil and water
• Compatible in all drilling fluids
• Environmentally friendly in any mud system
• Allows true weight to the bit

 Typical Properties:  

• Appearance — Colorless beads
• Specific gravity - 1.13
• Micron range:
  Fine size – 150 to 250
  Coarse size – 650 to 900
• Compressive Strength – ≥ 16,000 psi

 Recommended Treatment:  

• May be added directly through hopper or directly to the suction pit
• Mix 4 to 6 ppb in the active mud system for torque, drag, and casing wear applications
• Spot 6 to 12 ppb in open hole prior to POOH for casing and logging runs
• Mix 6 to 10 ppb in slugging pit with drilling fluid for slide sweeps

 Packaging:
