DRIL-KLEEN

Low-toxicity emulsifier for water-based muds

Concentrated and low-toxicity drilling fluid additive formulated to aid in preventing bit and bottom-hole assembly (BHA) balling in all water-base drilling fluids. It coats drill cuttings and metal surfaces to reduce the sticking tendency of hydratable shales. When applied directly to the bit or BHA, and allowed to dry prior to being run in the hole, the product forms a tough lubricating film that resists gumbo-balling. Using DRIL-KLEEN additive to prevent balling promotes higher ROP and easier trips while reducing the risk of hole pack-off. Because of its low toxicity, DRIL-KLEEN detergent is applicable in all water-base fluid systems used in onshore and offshore applications.
