Petro-Wet

PETRO-WET is both an oil-wetting agent and a secondary emulsifier for use in mid-run distillatebased invert emulsion drilling fluids. PETRO-WET is highly effective in oil-wetting barite and drilled solids. In the presence of Lime (above 5 kg/m³), PETRO-WET may be used as a primary emulsifier for “relaxed” systems. In conjunction with PETRO-MUL, high temperature stable invert emulsions and low filtration rates can be obtained.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Promotes oil-wetting in invert emulsion systems
  • Treats water contamination and water-wet solids
  • May be used to prepare a “relaxed” system
  •  Improves electrical stability
  •  Reduces flow properties

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

5-15 L/m³ (when used with PETRO-MUL)
10-30 L/m³ (as a primary or treating agent)
