Soltex

Shale Control Inhibitors (Borehole Stabilizers)

SOLTEX is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process. It is a versatile, total mud conditioner that stabilizes shale formations, significantly increases lubricity, and lowers HTHP water loss. SOLTEX enhances filter cake properties in both oil-based and waterbased muds

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Controlled water and oil solubility to effect best chemical and physical performance.
Minimizes damage to productive formations.
Reacts with shale to prevent or stop sloughing and swelling.
Significantly increases lubricity; either alone or synergistically with small amounts of oils
and synthetics.
Environmentally acceptable on land and offshore.
Extremely temperature stable.
Inhibits dispersion of drilled solids.
Minimal and easily distinguishable fluorescence – does not hamper well logging or core
analysis
Will not leave oil slick, sheen or rainbow on water at offshore locations.
No emulsifiers needed to ensure proper mixing.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
