Environmentally Safe Shale Stabilizer – HTHP Fluid Loss Control |

| Description: | |||||||||||
|
Turbo-Phalt is a formulated low softening point gilsonite/resin mixture that has been precoupled with a surfactant/lubricant package. It is effective at both low and high temperatures and has a broad application in water based and oil based muds. Highly effective HTHP water loss reduction results in thin, tough, lubricated filter cake development. Effective sealing of micro-fractured formations minimizes unstable wellbore situations, while the sealing capability of Turbo-Phalt reduces mud seepage loss and differential sticking tendencies in low pressure sands. The lubricating qualities impart friction reduction to enhance rotary and motor drilling as well as logging and casing runs. Unlike asphalt based materials, Turbo-Phalt is malleable even at low temperatures, and is able to extrude into micro-fractures.

(A pill containing 15 ppb Turbo-Phalt and 15 ppb Premium Seal Fine can be applied in a sweep fashion to reduce mud seepage loss, stabilize shale sections, seal low pressure sands, or to coat, seal, and lubricate wellbore prior to logging or running casings. The same formula can be used to spot a pill across a troublesome zone while tripping, logging, or running casing.)
