Detailed Product Description

Description

Resinated Lignite is designed to provide filtration control over a wide range of temperature and in the presence of contaminants. It is a temperature-stable, synthetically formulated resin and lignite complex which has proven to be one of the most effective high-temperature filtration-control additives available.

Application & Features

Resinated Lignite is a broad-application fluid loss control agent that can be used in virtually any water-base mud. In field applications, excellent results have been obtained in freshwater, brackish water, seawater, saltwater, lime, gyp, lignosulfonate, polymer and non-dispersed systems.

Resinated Lignite stabilizes and extends the temperature limitations and contamination-resistance of water-base mud systems to above 400(204). It is notably effective in high density muds where fluid-loss control can be achieved without increases in viscosity.

Resinated Lignite improves filter cake quality, reduces wall-sticking tendencies, stabilizes rheological properties and contributes to the drilling of in-gauge holes.

Normal treatment ranges from 2 to 6 lb/bbl (5.7 to 17 kg/M3) depending on the degree of filtration-control desired and the original mud system characteristics.
