PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PIPE FREE-W stuck-pipe additive is a liquid, one-drum product for preparing weighted and oil-based spotting fluids. It contains all the materials necessary to formulate weighted solutions for freeing differentially stuck pipe. PIPE FREE-W spots are easily and quickly mixed. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Dark brown to black colored liquid pH 5.6 - 6.6 (1% aqueous solution) Specific Gravity 0.90gm/cm3 Solubility Slightly soluble in water APPLICATION PIPE FREE-W has application in all wells requiring a weighted soak solution to free differentially stuck pipe. PIPE FREE-W spotting fluids can be prepared from either diesel oil or mineral oil, using…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PIPE FREE additive is used in diesel oil or in oil-based muds to form a highly effective stuck-pipe spotting fluid. PIPE FREE enables spotting fluids to penetrate and "crack" the water-based-mud filter cake with an extremely high-fluid-loss and solids-free filtrate. These features allow the PIPE FREE and oil solution to pass through the water- based-mud filter cake between the stuck pipe and wellbore wall to facilitate freeing differentially stuck pipe. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Dark brown to black colored liquid pH 5.6 - 6.6 (1% aqueous solution) Specific Gravity 0.90gm/cm3 Solubility Slightly soluble in water APPLICATION PIPE…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-LUB GA gives drilling operators the same peace of mind that oil-based muds bring without the environmental concerns. NC-LUB GA is also hydrocarbon free. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Black Powder Particulates Bulk Desity 0.80 kg/m3 Solubility Insoluble in water APPLICATION The additive is currently used in well-known and proven water-based systems particularly to improve and optimize their lubrication and physical shale protection abilities thus minimizing down hole problems. This unique, proven additive is compatible with all known mud systems including glycol, synthetic, oil-base and brine. It is also successfully used for completion/work over and coiled tubing operations.…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-Lube CB is modified tall oil fatty acid can be used to impart extreme pressure lubricating properties to drilling fluids. NC-Lube CB lubricant readily adsorbs on exposed surfaces, to help provide a chemical film that is effective in reducing metal-to-metal friction. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Dark Brown Liquid Specific Gravity 0.87g/cm3 Solubility Slightly soluble in water APPLICATION The product is completely water dispersible and blends easily into all mud systems. It does not foam and can be added to the mud system through the mixing hopper or directly to the surface system wherever good agitation is available.…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-LUBE water-dispersible lubricant is designed to decrease the coefficient of friction in all water-based muds, reducing torque and drag. It also has a unique wet ability characteristic which lowers the potential of bottom-hole assembly (BHA) balling. NC-LUBE contains no hydrocarbons and is compatible with all water-based fluids. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Clear, bright light brown colored pH 8.93 (1% aqueous solution) Specific Gravity 0.965g/cm3 Flash Point 116°C Solubility Disperses APPLICATION The product is completely water dispersible and blends easily into all mud systems. It does not foam and can be added to the mud system through the…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-LUB G is a co-polymers bead. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Spherical Solid Bead, Clear in color Specific Gravity 1.06g/cm3 Solubility Insoluble APPLICATION Spot in hole prior to running casing or liners. Spot in hole prior to logging operations. Allows more true weight to bit. Spot in key seats to reduce torque, drag, and sticking problems. Apply NC-LUB G fine beads for torque and drag in coil tubing operations or with work strings. Lubricant for OBM or SBM. Aids in prevention of differential sticking when using OBM or SBM. Aids in directional changes or sliding. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT Concentrations…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-DRILL is a proprietary blend of synthetic fluids specifically engineered to enhance the rate of penetration while drilling. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Transparent colorless liquid pH 7.5 - 9.0 (5% aqueous solution) Specific Gravity 0.79 - 0.81g/cm3 Solubility Insoluble in water APPLICATION Enhance rate of penetration. Increase the ability to slide while directionally drilling. Increase lubricity. Effective in small concentrations. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT 1 - 4% by volume in water-based drilling fluids. Add 3 - 10% NC-DRILL in sweeps and pump as needed or inject directly down hole. These volumes may then be incorporated into the active mud…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-DD a blend of water-soluble anionic surfactants that can be used in fresh or saltwater and in low-solids muds as a wetting agent. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Light Green liquid pH 8.2 Specific Gravity 1.01 - 1.02g/cm3 Boiling Point 98.9°C Flash Point > 93.3 °C Solubility Partially soluble in water APPLICATION Increase the drilling rate by improving bit cleaning and release of cuttings from the bit surface. Retard breakup of cuttings in the annulus. Promote settling of cuttings at the surface. Counteract the sticking tendencies of clays and thereby reduce wall-packing, bit-balling, booting-off, and formation of mud…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-CLEAN is a heavy-duty, water-soluble, dynamic surface cleaner. It can be used directly or watered down. The agent act to make oily surface clean easily. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Clear, Blue Liquid pH 11 - 12 (5% aqueous solution) Specific Gravity 1.024 - 1.036 g/cm3 Bulk Density 53 - 8.63 lbs/gal Boiling Point 170.8°C Melting Point -70 °C Solubility Soluble in water APPLICATION NC-CLEAN is used for cuttings wash solution when using oil-based mud. NC-CLEAN is used for treatment of minor oil spills and for engine, rig and equipment wash when using oil- based mud. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GILSONITE shale inhibitor is a partially water-soluble, water-dispersible blend, containing sulfonated organic resins for water-based drilling fluids and oil-based muds. GILSONITE has the capacity of plugging microfractured shales and sealing them.
