GLO ASP 3000 Sodium Salt of Sulphonated Asphalt.
|
|
Description
|
|
It is a modified sodium sulphonated asphaltic compound that stabilizes shale, inhibits dispersion of drilled solids, reduces torque and drag and acts as an alternative to oil usage etc.
and aids emulsification.
|
|
|
|
Application
|
For shale control, fluid loss control and for lubricity improvement.
COMMON NAME - SODIUM SALT OF SULPHONATED ASPHALT
|
|
|
|
Advantages
|
- It is compatible with all water base mud systems.
- Improves lubricity thereby reducing torque and drag of chilling string.
- Prevents bit and down hole assembly bailing by preferentially oil wetting the drill string.
- Seals small fractures in stressed shale formulation.
- Contributes to corrosion inhibition.
