China ROP Enhancer Lubricant for Water-Based Drilling Fluids - Suppliers & Factory Direct Quality
Product Introduction
UBDrill-143 enhancer employs a special blend of surfactants to keep the bit free of solids. It also assists in removing any buildup of drill solids below the bit, enabling the cutters to make continuous contact with the formation.
- UBDrill-143 is water-based mud ROP enhancer
- Reduces bit and BHA balling and Reduces torque and drag
- Works effectively with Talon PDC drill bit

Applications & Functions
- Water-based drilling fluids
- Medium to hard shale formations
- Onshore and Offshore applications
For ROP enhancement, 1~3% by volume of the UBDrill-143 enhancer should be added directly to the mud system at or near the pump suction over one circulation period. Ideally, the initial treatment should be made prior to drilling out of the casing shoe or after a trip and before entering the hole while the bit and BHA are clean. After the initial treatment, the product should be continually added or injected into the mud stream at the pump suction while the bit is drilling.
The injection rate will vary according to hole size, pump rate, dilution rates, and ROP.
UBDrill-143 enhancer concentrations of up to 7% by volume will not affect drilling fluid properties or environmental toxicity.
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 (MSDS).
The UBDrill-143 enhancer is packaged in 55-galUS [208-L] drums. It is also available in bulk.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store away from incompatibles.
Case Study
Offshore Black Sea area is well known for drilling difficulties like wellbore instability, bit balling and tight hole while tripping, caused by the highly reactive shale formation. Uther challenges for this Deep Water exploration well were considered to be Gas Hydrates, narrow Mud Weight window, hole cleaning, fluid and waste volume handling.
The Operator required formulating a high performance inhibitive Water Based mud not only to mitigate all technical challenges but also to minimize any environmental risk. (Please download the PDS to get more info. or send us email: info@youzhuchem.com)
Frequently Asked Questions
