API 13 A Sec 9

Product Properties:

  • Reduces fluid loss and prevents water seepage into permeable formations
  • Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
  • Extracts drill cuttings from the bit
  • Reduce filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability

Benefits:

  • Provides lubricity for drilling fluids
  • Little loss of drilling fluids
  • Withstands formation pressure
  • Mixes easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
  • Yields more than twice as much mud of the same viscosity as an equal weight of API oilfield grades of bentonite

API 13 A Sec 11

Product Properties:

  • Increases viscosity and reduce fluid loss in water base drilling fluids
  • Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
  • Extracts drill cuttings from the bit
  • Stabilizes borehole

Benefits:

  • Cost-effective means of achieving viscosity, fluid-loss control and filter-cake
  • Little loss of drilling fluids
  • Withstands formation pressure
  • Mixes easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity

API 13A Sec 10 Grade

Product Properties:

  • It is an effective viscosifier and water loss control agent
  • Increases viscosity and reduce fluid loss in water base drilling fluids
  • Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
  • Extracts drill cuttings from the bit
  • Stabilizes borehole

Benefits:

  • Retains thixotopic properties when met with brine and high temperature in deep drilling
  • Little loss of drilling fluids
  • Withstands formation pressure
  • Mixes easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
