LUBRICANT
RADIAGREEN EBL is a naturally-occurring, ester-based lubricant derived from natural fats and oils. It is non-toxic to humans or the surrounding environment.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Reduces torque and drag issues by providing lubricity to water-based drilling operations without compromising or damaging production zones.
- Readily dispersible in any water-based drilling fluid.
- Proven results in reducing friction factors while drilling open hole.
- Helps to prevent bit-balling and differentially stuck pipe; will have no negative effects on the fluid rheology or filtration properties.
- In most cases, will improve the overall API and HTHP fluid loss behaviours of the fluid.
- Avoid use in high pH environments.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT:
Additions of 1 – 3% RADIAGREEN EBL by volume will effectively reduce friction levels upwards to 20% – 50%, respectively.
