DRIL-XPRESS is a liquid drilling fluid additive designed as an alternative to conventional bentonitebased systems. DRIL-XPRESS can be used at much lower concentrations (6-10 L/m³) than bentonite (20+ Kg/m³).
• Instant hydration in both fresh water and salt water systems.
• Better viscosity and fluid loss characteristics.
• Inhibits shale hydration, providing good hole-cleaning and wellbore stability.
• Minimal mixing required.
• Environmentally friendly: contains polymer viscosifiers which biodegrade within three
weeks.
• Can be cross-linked to increase fluid viscosity.
