China Factory Suppliers of Biodegradable Ester-Based Lubricant ROP Penetration Rate Enhancer for Improved Drilling Efficiency
What we need to formulate your ROP enhancer?
1. Fluid Formulations
Drilling Mud System details. Water-based? Oil-based? (To confirm: water-soluble/oil-soluble, SG/viscosity — high-density drilling fluids require high viscosity to match flowability and sand-carrying capacity — and whether there are any incompatible materials to prevent foiling/emulsification), along with information such as fresh/salty water, pH value, high calcium/magnesium concentration, etc.
2. Operation Conditions
Temperature/pressure parameters. Is high-temperature stability required? For example, at what temperature, with how much additive, and over what period of time is a specific reduction in torque expected?
3. Technical Requirements
Specific performance metrics and targets for torque reduction, drag reduction, and compatibility checks under downhole conditions. High-salinity environments may cause salting-out, demulsification, or competitive adsorption effects, which can impact the rheology and filtration properties of the drilling fluid. Therefore, ROP enhancers generally contain functional groups capable of forming strong chemical adsorption or coordination bonds with metal surfaces.
4. Test Method
Standardized testing protocols and procedures to evaluate the efficiency of the lubricant in simulated downhole environments.
Pilot Testing Is Recommended.

Applications/Functions
- Shale drilling
- Offshore and onshore
Advantages
- Reduces torque and drag issues by providing lubricity to water-based drilling operations without compromising or damaging production zones.
- Readily dispersible in any water-based drilling fluid.
- Proven results in reducing friction factors while drilling open hole.
- Helps to prevent bit-balling and differentially stuck pipe; will have no negative effects on the fluid rheology or filtration properties.
- In most cases, will improve the overall API and HTHP fluid loss behaviors of the fluid.
- Avoid use in high pH environments.
- Initially 0.5-2.0% by volume of UBDrill-144 EBL should be added directly into the mud. The product should be continually added or injected into the mud when the bit is drilling. Freshwater system recommended dosage is 1%, seawater system recommended dosage is 1.5%.
Recommended Handling
All personnel handling this material must handle it as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Packaging and Storage
175kg drum/4 drums/pallet. Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Store away from incompatibles.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is UBDrill-144 EBL and how does it work?
UBDrill-144 EBL is a naturally-occurring, ester-based lubricant derived from natural fats and oils. It acts as an ROP enhancer by providing high lubricity to drilling operations, reducing friction factors, and preventing issues like bit-balling and differentially stuck pipe.
What is the recommended dosage for UBDrill-144 EBL?
An initial dosage of 0.5-2.0% by volume should be added directly into the mud. For freshwater systems, the recommended dosage is 1%, and for seawater systems, it is 1.5%. The product should be continually added or injected while the bit is actively drilling.
Can this lubricant be used in high-salinity or high pH environments?
You should avoid using UBDrill-144 EBL in high pH environments. In high-salinity environments, competitive adsorption, salting-out, or demulsification may occur, which can impact fluid rheology. Pilot testing is highly recommended for these conditions.
Is UBDrill-144 EBL environmentally safe?
Yes, UBDrill-144 EBL is non-toxic to humans and the surrounding environment. It has a minimal impact on the rheological properties of drilling fluids, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
What are the packaging and storage requirements?
It is packaged in 175kg drums (4 drums per pallet). It should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area with containers tightly closed. Keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
